There was a position in Cork for 'ICT Specialist(GRADE V) Infrastructure' where you could apply directly.

Would this have been separate from the online competition? Would it be a more senior role?

If it quoted a grade in Roman numerals, it was for a public service position, possibly in a county council or the HSE. The grades, leave entitlements and salary are different in the public service compared to the civil service. This thread is for the civil service ICT Specialist competition, (Executive Officer ICT).

I got placed in top 10 in Dublin and am starting in a few weeks.

I have tried each year since 2017 to get through this competition and always fall slightly short usually with situational judgement...can you tell how you managed to pass?

Hi there, any chance you could inform me on how the interview went. I was recently contacted for the 2nd batch of interviews from the comp last September. I'm aware of the EO competencies, but any specific area they seemed particularly interested in? Any help would be massively appreciated.

Yesterday I received an update on my publicjobs.ie profile informing me of my interview date for the week after next. It could be stream dependant (I'm in the Software Dev stream) so I'd say there'll be an update for you soon enough.

Thanks a lot for your reply .. I am both in software development(rank 71) and infrastructure(rank 56)..
All the best for your upcoming interview.

Does anyone know what sort of technical questions are asked during the Infrastructure interview?

For my upcoming SW interview, I'm preparing a high-level overview of what I'd consider my best work to date. I doubt they will try and catch you out with specifics. I'd suggest knowing what you've worked on and have a conversation prepared for it. E.G. Overview, struggles, outcome/results. Not knowing a particular tool is not a bad thing either, just say how you'd approach learning it and give an example of where you applied that approach and how it worked.

Had mine on the 18th May, still waiting to hear back. Hoping it will be tomorrow as it's usually a Friday announcement. Otherwise next week.

MagaBot

Had mine around that time and got the results yesterday.

You should hear back within the month, IMO. 1 is the starting point, so 8 people will be placed before you.

Please help.. Does anyone have EO ICT information booklet?
Thanks in advance

Thanks

I received my OOM. Anyone else receive their OOM? More importantly, does anyone have any idea how many positions they're looking to fill?

Hi,

I received my OOM also. Don't really know how many positions they are looking for but I am guessing they will call many off this panel. I know some departments have huge shortages of IT staff at the moment.

I know someone who got the Software Dev stream and was placed in a dept where he does absolutely nothing really IT related. They have him opening boxes and putting monitors on desks etc. The civil service is such a joke.

Hi all, i just received my interview results. OOM place 8. What exactly does this mean? Also no mention of where i would be placed if excepted.

Software or Infrastructure? Your OOM means Order of Merit. This means that there are 7 people ahead of you that will be offered a position before you. OOM 8 is really good. Congratulations.

Thanks Hydration. In Software. Any idea of a timeframe after receiving the OOM or is it just a waiting game now.
