CLERICAL OFFICER 2022

I'd say you're still in with a good chance of being called for interview, maybe not immediately but the panel is open for two years.

plenty of people don't take up positions for whatever reason, so don't give up

Got 390 in Dublin new to this am i in with a shout thanks

where does/did it state the panel expiration? Just curious I missed that

251 for Clare... any hopes of being called for an interview?

Got 408 for Meath scored 4638, lucky i have a job and can just wait it out.....

OOM 544 for Dublin, scored 5746. Fingers crossed!

Looks that way alright but who knows what may happen but without the usual Supervised tests you’d imagine the whole process should be quicker

That’s a really good score congrats, good luck prepping for the interview hopefully people here soon I’d say by Friday

What is the turn around time like for interviews etc…I only done this type of thing once but was for a different service.

The score is based solely on the test, it’s very hard to prepare for these sort of tests but advice I’ve given to anyone about to apply for the civil service especially externals is to forget about your experience and your job and remember the characteristics they want in a co. Someone who can understand and follow instructions and respects the chain of command. You’re not solving problems at that level and that’s where I have seen others score not as well in these sort of tests

Thanks very much Crinkley for your advice. I will take note of that for next time 🤞🏻.

I don't know what they base the OOM on exactly, and I also did abysmally in the 2020 CO campaign even though I did really well in the TCO, so you're not alone. I have a 18 months more TCO experience since the last campaign and did much better this time round.

I did find that when answering the questions I had to keep reminding myself that the position I was applying for is one where I am expected to do the sometimes mundane, repetitive work and I don't make any decisions on anything. I am there to support the managers and the rest of the team and that's the extent of my responsibilities (aside from personal responsibilities).

Always look at the competencies for the position you're applying for and try to base your replies with them in mind.

Hi I have been placed 333 for Wexford, do you think I have any chance of getting an interview?

It doesn't specify for this campaign but for the 2020 campaign it was 8000

Hey and congratulations. You’ll only have to do one interview you will be called for interview when your oom is met in either county.

They will do interviews in batches, this will be down to local demand so top 50 in Cavan you’d imagine called on that but the demand for Meath could be higher and they require more people
