Hi! I’m new to this so unsure if I’m posting this right! But I had my interview on 02/2 and heard back on the 03/02 saying I was successful. They said I’d hear in ten days during the interview but since receiving my interview result I haven’t heard anything at all. I’m placed in the mid 300’s on order of merit and based in Dublin. Would anyone have any idea if/when I’ll be contacted? Thanks:)

Anyone know what OOM Cork panel is on? Thanks :)

LukeCoyler · 06-03-2022 10:22PM

Hey all; can I just ask out of curiosity those of you who have already done their interviews: were many of you asked to give 2 examples of a competency? And was there any questions that threw you a bit? Have my interview on Thursday.. sweating!! Cheers :)

vanderpump · 07-03-2022 09:32AM

Hi, it's oom 85 as of last Friday

ronbon1 · 07-03-2022 12:13PM

Hi, does anyone know what OOM donegal is at? They were at OOM6 three weeks ago, I don't want to be torturing them, lol.

Sgt. Bilko 09 · 07-03-2022 12:39PM

Does anyone know if you are notified of which department you are allocated during the clearance process or is it after the clearance is complete? Has anyone started in the deparments yet since the panel stages...

You will be notified of which department you're being assigned to when your clearance is completed. I got mine via messages on public jobs.

I started a couple of weeks ago but I was retained in the department I was currently serving as TCO, so it was just a matter of issuing me with a permanent contract rather than starting afresh in another department.

It's no harm having 2 examples ready anyway. They typically only look for a second one if you're not giving them enough in the first one. I wasn't asked any questions that threw me, but someone else did say they were asked why they wanted to work for the CS.

Best of luck with the interview 🍀

Ah brilliant well done on getting it permanent!!

How do you find working in the CS by the way...

Sra360 · 07-03-2022 01:10PM

Ended up getting an email Friday to say I passed the interview I did on Wednesday. Delighted it was so quick and there wasn't a painful 10 day wait!

I then got an email to pick the areas in my county I would be willing to work. This has to be in today. I didn't receive any confirmation it was received yet, but I'm sure that's okay.

Do I just wait now until I get notice of a job position? Vetting/ reference etc will happen then?

peanutk · 07-03-2022 01:30PM

@Sra360 Well done on passing your interview. Its such a relief isnt it and not waiting so long to hear.i have sent in my garda vetting and clearance so just waiting to hear now if a position comes up in my county. Which county did u apply for? I didnt get the choice of location im in dublin!

Contrats on passing your interview!! I've selected the areas within my county more than a month ago, and I havent heard anything since. I believe clearance will contact you when a job becomes available and it reaches your OOM.

Thank you! SUCH a relief. @peanutk I am in Waterford and they broke it down to a few of the larger towns and city for options.

I just got confirmation it was received - I get nervous when I don't so wanted to check had other people heard back.

Guess it's just a waiting game now! Hopefully not too long of a wait! Thanks for your feedback - and congrats to you both also!

Majority are WFH still. And from what I know of some departments it's either a 4pm or a 5pm finish the latest.

07-03-2022 11:21PM

Thanks very much 😊

Thanks a million!

I find working in the CS grand. CO work can be repetitive and mundane at times, but it's not hard work. Plus, it's a permanent job that is somewhat protected from economic forces so I'll take it with both hands. There is always the opportunity to move up the ladder if a more challenging role is what you're after.

yeah i was told during my interview that it is quite monotonous sometimes... thank you for the feedback though i really appreciate it

Malachy78 · 08-03-2022 12:10PM

Hi folks. I know I could send a email. But just thought I’d ask here first. Anyone know Sligo / Leitrim oom?

08-03-2022 01:05PM

I was reading about civil service working hours potentially being reduced from July, to pre reccession hours. Will this affect new clerical officers and has it been confirmed that it is going ahead? Thank you

Sgt. Bilko 09 · 08-03-2022 01:54PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118750273#Comment_118750273

i think Forsa are putting forward a motion for the return of those hours(35), i dont think anything has been passed on it yet...i stand to be corrected on that though it was the last i read

shmeee · 08-03-2022 02:20PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118750273#Comment_118750273

If it's agreed, thats the hours you will work. 35 hours down from 37 hours.

frankienonose · 08-03-2022 05:21PM

Does anyone have any experience working in the Department of an Taoiseach? Or any idea of the likelihood of working from home in that department?

Hi Jamp 123. I hope the interview went well. Do you mind me asking if you have heard anything back yet? My wife is 00M 270 for Wexford. Do you mind me asking what your 00M for Wexford was?? Thanks and best of luck in the future.

For the full time clerical officer in the Co Sligo Region they have reached OOM 20.

For the temporary clerical officer in the Co Leitrim Region they have reached OOM 9.

hope this helps.
