    I would guess that they have extra people on the panel in case somebody turns down an offer?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 681 ✭✭✭redmgar


    Did everyone receive the same email about being placed on the panel and being notified within two weeks if there place has been reached?

    I got the same email, placed on a panel and will find out in 2 weeks. Bit annoying cause I didn't know anything about the panel just presumed we would know one way or the other! Wondering if anyone got offered the job yet or just all on the panel??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 ballyerlas


    Yes I think everyone is on the panel and they draw down until all the roles are filled

    Has anyone got an offer



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,133 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    I got the same email. Placed on a panel and will hear within 2 week's if offered a position. So for all of us on the panel it's no guarantee of receiving a job offer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭Orange369


    Yeah like the job is due to start in 2.5 weeks so was hoping to hear a few weeks in advance to prepare etc!

    Didn’t realise there was going to be a panel.

    Pretty difficult to make plans now. Considering there is to be training the 28th/1st and 2nd.

    Didnt they also open up again only recently so assumed they didn’t have a big response first time around.

    Think they will be calling a lot on the panels. As I’m sure a lot drop out. Don’t start etc. not like it’s a well paid position to begin with.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,133 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    There's also the fact that contracts, official secrecy act forms etc would have to be signed and send back in advance of acceptance of an offer.

    I did an interview, got the panel email yesterday and have a missed call from the local officer just now. Having read this post it's turned me off accepting (assuming that is what she was ringing me for). I work full time 40hrs a week with 20 days holidays a year. I don't think giving 4 days holidays to this is something i want to do.

    Got a call an hour ago to say I got the job! Happy with that now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    ^^^^

    good for you, now buy a good pair of walking shoes



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 587 ✭✭✭CiboC


    I've just been offered one of the positions, area offered is very handy for me so I'm taking it ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭Orange369


    Yes same! Close to my house, nicr estates and no apartments, feel like I got a good section. Congrats to you



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭Orange369


    Thank you! Could do with losing weight so the walking will be good for me lol



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 681 ✭✭✭redmgar


    Did everyone receive a call last night?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65 ✭✭Anniesland


    I didn't. I'd say I'm not in line for first round of offers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 Orlsheen


    I didn't - thats a pity :(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 223 ✭✭checkcheek


    Calls going again today. Just got word there.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 ballyerlas


    Just got a call now they are ringing a lot today so keep your phone on



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,024 ✭✭✭Redpunto


    Yep got a call earlier :-)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 681 ✭✭✭redmgar


    What are the training days for this?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,133 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    Someone mentioned in this thread Feb 28th and March 1st and 2nd. Did anyone receive the electronic forms containing the contract etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 681 ✭✭✭redmgar


    Thanks, and does anyone know how the pay works, is it weekly or in one amount?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,133 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    I think last time around you get paid in batches with a final lump sum payment when you collect all the forms. I can't recall it being a weekly payment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    i suppose they don't want people quitting midway through



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭rx8


    Had a call on Friday, but it went to voice-mail. Phoned again this afternoon and was offered a position. All around my own area, so should be handy enough.

    Got the acceptance forms a short while later in an email, and submitted all the details on the website. First training day is on Zoom, and days 2 and 3 will be face-to-face. 2-3 hours in the mornings on March 1st and 2nd. Looking forward to it...

    Oh I wonder if the training is for same for everyone? I was told training 28th 1st and 2nd and it will be about 4 hours each day and will be on in the evenings! Just presumed it was online. Wonder where it will be held if its in person.
