Hey folks. Anyone apply for these?

Nicole2020 · 16-07-2020 10:51pm

I did! Haven’t heard anything yet but I kept an eye and it didn’t close before the Friday so I don’t think they reached 1,200 which is encouraging!

kathleen37 · 16-07-2020 11:04pm

Me too! Not heard anything either.

stargazer 68 · 16-07-2020 11:07pm

Oh that's ok. Hubbie applied and hasn't heard anything either! Was just checking:)

Nicole2020 · 16-07-2020 11:24pm

I’ll update if I do and please do as well

kathleen37 · 05-08-2020 5:21pm

Just wondering if anyone had heard anything?

I thought one of the roles starts in September?

maebee · 05-08-2020 5:24pm

Is there an Application form to download or do you apply by sending them an email?

I never heard anything back either. I think they said interviews would be early August so I'm presuming they won't be calling me for one.

Heard nothing either

kathleen37 · 07-09-2020 11:39am

Wondering if anyone heard anything in the last month? I know the regional manager roles start 19th October.

As an aside, I was talking to someone last night who works in the HSE and they have people in their department who take leave to do the enumerator roles, which I was actually a bit shocked at...

crossman47 · 07-09-2020 12:30pm

I'd say they're still considering if they have to call off the Census because of Covid.

I hadn't considered that.

If it is normal annual leave, I would say fair enough. Its up to you what you do with your time.
Although census work is mostly in the evenings, when people are at home, so no real need to take leave!

charlietheminxx · 15-09-2020 3:05pm

I just saw on Twitter that the CSO have pushed the Census back to April 2022. Maybe that's why none of us heard! Shame they didn't send an email out to applicants though.

kathleen37 · 15-09-2020 4:05pm

Someone heard you, I just got an email...

JoannieG · 24-05-2021 8:08pm

Has anyone heard from the CSO regarding the April 2021 recruitment for Senior Managers?

Have you heard anything else?

JoannieG · 30-08-2021 11:05pm

On the panel but no idea where 🙄

Best of luck

crinkley · 08-10-2021 8:53am

has anyone heard about the field supervisor positions, I know they extended and one of the areas they highlighted was one I live in. Wish now I hadn't rushed my application!

Moomooland · 22-10-2021 2:42pm

I haven’t heard back yet! Will let you know if I do. 🤞🤞

Interviews begin November 1st for at least 2 weeks via zoom.

I would assume I didn’t make the cut. Thanks for this info

crinkley · 23-10-2021 11:10am

Yeah I haven’t heard anything either. Thought they would let you know one way or another

Moomooland · 23-10-2021 12:58pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118061715#Comment_118061715

It’s very unusual not to be let know either way

Moomooland · 23-10-2021 1:07pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118061715#Comment_118061715

I just checked my emails when I applied and it states that we will be let know if we have been shortlisted or not for interview, we will be notified by text or email. There might still be hope yet 🤞🤞

I have an interview for the field supervisor role. Can I ask if your interview followed along the same lines as the application?

Roadtoad · 26-11-2021 3:09pm

Does anyone know when the offers for the Field Supervisor positions are due?

I thought the date came and went, but I heard nothing..

RGARDINR · 26-11-2021 3:18pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118226777#Comment_118226777

They only finished the interviews for them last Friday. So next wk at some point people will be informed.

crinkley · 29-11-2021 9:24am

@Roadtoad hows your garda vetting coming along?

CiboC · 29-11-2021 1:49pm

I did the interview for Field Supervisor towards the beginning of November, got an email with the vetting invitation and completed it straight away.

Vetting only completed last week, so hoping to hear what the story is shortly......

crinkley · 29-11-2021 1:52pm

I did mine straight away too, its still with GVB though

CiboC · 29-11-2021 1:55pm

I'm guessing vetting is causing the delay, as far as I recall we were due to be updated at the beginning of last week but I suppose that's not possible until vetting has been done...

crinkley · 30-11-2021 5:44pm

Well the job offers are out, I got placed on a panel. Good luck to everyone else

kerplun k · 30-11-2021 10:00pm

I Applied for the CSO, ICT role based in Dublin, I got placed 4th on OOM. Anyone know how long this would take for me to be placed? or if I will be even offered something at all?

I recently just started a new position somewhere else and definitely want the CSO role, but I would like to kick the can down the road a little bit until about March before changing again. It took me so long to find something and then 2 things pop up at once.

Acey10 · 04-12-2021 2:53pm

Hi, I'm thinking of applying for the the role of the census enumerator, the application date is extended. Can anyone share their experiences, is it worth doing? Financially? Are households generally cooperative?

billyhead · 04-12-2021 5:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118268392#Comment_118268392

I did it part time while working full time during the last census and it's frustrating. A lot of doors aren't answered and you keep having to go back to make contact with the householder. You definitely earn your salary. Some people are also mistrustful of passing on information on the form so you have to try and sweet talk them into it. Also you need to avoid soap time on TV. It's around 7 or 8pm. A lot of people won't answer the door when Fair City, EastEnders etc are on😉

Apartment blocks can be a nightmare. Getting access can be difficult and finding out if anyone actually lives in the apartment can also be difficult.

Rural areas possibly easier but you'll be putting up the mileage.

As the poster above said be conscious of whats on TV plus any sporting events and if there is the likes of a bereavement in the area.

billyhead · 04-12-2021 9:37pm

Also those electronic gates with the intercom system are a pain in the behind.

SouthWesterly · 04-12-2021 9:53pm

Apartment blocks and rural areas are the worst.

It's paid per form completed and if it takes you 3 or 4 visits to a rural house to get it done it doesn't pay.

rsom · 16-12-2021 2:41pm

Anyone hear anything from CSO yet?

billyhead · 16-12-2021 3:07pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118330914#Comment_118330914

Are you referring to the enumerator positions? I wouldn't envisage hearing anything until next week.

rsom · 16-12-2021 3:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118331145#Comment_118331145

Oh sorry....I meant the field supervisor positions.

crinkley · 16-12-2021 3:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118330914#Comment_118330914

As in the results. got mine 2 weeks ago

butter12 · 19-12-2021 9:49pm

Hi has anyone been offered the position of field supervisor, I was told by email that I was on the panel , I was interviewed then sent a Garda vetting request and then put on a panel but heard nothing else, Does this mean I wasn't first choice for my area and that's that ??
