It usually takes a year to a year and a half before being offered a place! It's a long drawn out process..
It will have no impact on future applications. Public Service is well used to applicants not accepting an offer for a myriad of reasons including "still studying "
I applied Nov 2019 and only came up for interview in September 2021 others were interviewed months before me so I suppose it depends on your order of merit given from the tests etc
Thanks a mill, can you decline without it affecting a future application?
My advise is apply and go through the process of exam and interview. You can always decline an offer but you will gain great experience.
Can I ask advice please? I really want to go for the CO campaign but reading the info booklet they say that the interviews will be January 2022, that seems really quick going from reading this thread. People from the 2020 campaign were only interviewed a couple of weeks ago for example.
I am currently studying and am hoping to get a job as a CO (obviously it's very competitive and fingers crossed and all that!) in a year to 18 months. Should I wait til the next intake or should I get myself on the panel now (again fingers crossed I make it that far!) ?
TIA
Just got a quick question for ya'll for the new CO campaigner..
If my choices are:
Am I right in thinking, I could be called for Dublin first if it came up first? Or have you to wait for the first choice to come up first?
I am batch 32 OOM 123 .. so fingers crossed 🤞
Apologies batch 32. Where are you in the oom?
From last msg from them on 22nd they were on batch 32 OOM 108 ( including 52 people who are on clearance / vetting stage) for Dublin panel .
Batch 2 or 32 ?
I'm currently batch 2 num 78 and going through vetting if that's any help?
I don't particularly care to be honest. What I have said it true and other people have had similar experiences to me.
Fine, but don't be painting eveyone with the same brush.
Easy work out who someone is when they quote their life on an public message board.....
Yes, they most certainly do!
Anyone know what oom they are on for Dublin?
Oh me nerves 😬 I was waiting for the email 🙈
Thanks guys read again 😁 Hopefully im still in with a chance
The closing date for applications to the new campaign is November 29th. They are only starting the process. The 2020 panel will run until they form the 2022 panel, early next year.
please read the msg again . panel is closing early next year . they are advising to apply for the new panel which has 29th nov as the closing date.
Oh no, that’s very unfair getting peoples hopes up 😕😕
Just got an email saying panel closing the 29th Nov. I was only interviewed two weeks ago placed on no. 11 of my area. Seems very unfair to interview people at this late stage when they knew they would be closing panel. I was an nervous wreck before interview now it seems was a waste of time 😭
Jaysus I’d say just the medical conditions, giving names would go against GDPR surely
This is probably a stupid question but on the medical form under family history are they looking for names of family or medical conditions of family members?
Also I have a phone medical, does anyone know if there will be further medical exams or is it just this one?
Will you ever give over..... I hear you love to complain anyway! Others where you are based don't think the same...
Snap! I will have completed probation next week but am in an unbearable role. Am going to reapply, nothing to lose, and will seek a transfer after Christmas and see what happens. Good luck!
I would try not to worry, I can understand why you would but ultimately it should not be an issue as it would be discrimination on the grounds of pregnancy, hope that helps you rest easier.
Hi All, currently going through the vetting stages for Dublin. In a little hole. I am currently 7 months pregnant and have not told them this bit of news, should I wait until placed or get onto PAS regarding this and see what they say? I honestly didn't think I'd be called forward this side of Christmas and wanted to be kept on this panel.
Haven't been placed yet, but being considered for a role. Havent even told my current employer I have been looking elsewhere as I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Mine was the same. A full week showing as "submitted for processing". Then the 2nd week began to see movement, and was done by day 13/14.
Also just a word of advice, have someone lined up as a character reference as you may need this before placement. Make sure it is someone reliable who will complete for you asap. Mine was held up nearly 10 days as a result of person I asked, through no fault of their own I may add. They were just very busy.
