You get a topic 7 days in advance and you have to prepare it. Then 10 min presentation.

There seems to be a lot of HEO competitions lately? Another new interdepartmental one advertised again.

Itchyfeet89 · 10-03-2022 2:27am

Anyone know anything about working in the Dept of Housing?

Does anyone know what happens to my flexi-time hours when I move to my new role? At the minute I'm down a few hours and it will be very hard to work them back up when before I move to the HEO job (I can't really be given much work at the moment as I'll be leaving half way through any new projects). Is it carried over? Or do I start afresh in the new role? I'm not even sure if my new job is back on flexi-time yet as they are still working mostly from home.

I failed 2 HEO interviews since the beginning of the year, an internal and an interdepartmental one. I keep going down on Team Leadership and Judgement, analysis and decision making even though I changed my examples on the forms. V frustrating as I am very qualified for the role and I need to get out of my current role for my sanity! I passed the AO interview but yet I failed the HEO!

I just spotted a circular for a new Interdepartmental HEO Competition! Does that mean this one is ended?

Until a new panel is established which will take a good few months they'll likely still be using the current panels, they clearly need plenty of HEOs.

Very hard to give any thoughts on this without seeing your example, but presumably you are not hitting the points they are looking for. If it was a once off I suppose you might be able to think that maybe it was the particular interview board you had, but failing two interviews would tell me your example is not good enough or you aren't getting the relevant points across in the actual interview.

I emailed pas last week and the current one is in place until Jan 2023.

Good updates here.

When moving Departments does it generally go smoothly?

I have a start date for the new department but current one I am hearing nothing!

Hi Rebelinho - I placed 6th in batch 1 for Limerick last August and there is presently one person ahead of me. I have not seen very many HEO appointments in my current department in all that time. An internal comp closed at the end of 2021 and everyone except the last 7-10 Limerick candidates were placed- talk about being left behind as the tide pulls out! Chances are Kerry will catch up quicker if this is the rate of promotion in Limerick.

Has anybody been placed from the Regional Panels that had a stage 3 interview in February?

I am aware that more stage 3 interviews took place in March. It just seems the panels have very little movement. I had my final interview in February and placed in the top 5 oom for both my regions.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! :)

happymammy6 · 03-05-2022 10:24pm

Has anyone received any offers from Regional panels recently. another competition advertised but doesn't seem be a lot appointments in this competition. I'm no 3 in batch 2 in regional since last December and no movement since Christmas

Ballingarry · 24-06-2022 11:04am

The updates here have gone very quiet. I have heard of people being appointed in a number of regions which means at least a number of the panels have movement. All of the appointments that I have heard of are from batch 1.1. Well done to those who have been appointed.

jewel22 · 25-06-2022 2:39pm

Hi Ballingarry, in my chosen regions PAS are currently on Batch 2.2 and Batch 3.1. Two people have been appointed from Batch 2.2 since February and there has been no movement on my other region in that time.

Ballingarry · 22-08-2022 9:11am

Anybody know of any appointments for Tipperary from July onwards or if there is anybody in clearance for Tipperary? They are still on Batch 1.1 for Tipperary but very little movement from what I can see.

Csk2019 · 10-10-2022 12:52pm

Does anyone know where they are with the Cork panel?

Busle · 17-11-2022 10:18pm

Has anybody been placed in Westmeath recently. Thanks

Herewego22 · 29-11-2022 8:11am

Can anyone tell me was there anyone called for interview on the Louth panel in this competition. I see this competition expires in Jan 2023. Trying to establish if there is an existing Louth panel in place. Thanks
