Ya got my result today, got oom in 20's so happy enough. How long is this panel for? Is it 1 or 2 years?
Congratulations, you will definitely be called with that OOM. I am not sure how long the panel is for, but I am going to guess a year. I checked the booklet but it does not say.
I'm on the infrastructure panel. Got placed in the Office of the Governments Chief Information Officer in Spencer Dock, currently going through the reference/garda checks. Anyone know what its like to work in the OOTGCIO?
I got ranked at 47. Do you think I will be placed?
Does anyone have a copy of the booklet?
I would hope so as there are a lot of HEO / EO vacancies. It's just can PAS get through them on time.
Definitely, remember this is for the whole civil service not just one department.
Obviously most departments are Dublin based, so most positions will become available there, but would anyone have any idea what departments would be likely to hire from this panel in Cork?
CSO is the only org I can think of with IT staff in Cork, though I'm not sure if they draw from the panel.
The CSO had their own competition for the equivalent positions recently. Hopefully there's something, but I'm not terribly optimistic of the chances.
OGCIO are seen as the Head IT Dept for the Civil Service and bowed down to by many. Government Networks, Centralised Desktops/Laptops, Build to Share etc are all under OGCIO. Some of the IT elements do not follow best practice by any means, and it does always seem (in my dealings anyway) that sections are under resourced.
Your experience will broadly depend on your AP/PO, duties assigned and your ability to use your initiative/attitude.
If anybody gets called off the panel or receives any updates about the competition please update us all here. It would be good to keep each other updated. I suspect many of us will be called over the next few weeks.
Competition for ICT Networks and Cyber Security Specialists EO
Placed 17 on a panel today for the HEO ICT Infrastructure competition
Just a question about decorum around telling my boss that I got on the Panel. Hadn't really fully planned on moving or anything so didn't say that I was doing the interview.
Kind of unsure how to handle it diplomatically. EO presently but don't particularly want to move from where I am working. Only if the right offer comes along (Interest in the work and workplace culture ranks higher for me than the money). Should I say now that I got on the panel but it's not my intent to move or wait until I got a job offer?
Definitely wait until you get an offer and a starting date. Unfortunately you could be waiting awhile before your called although 17 is really good so should not be long.
I was placed 15 on the OOM for ICT HEO Infrastructure & Operations. Got an email this morning saying they’ll be in touch by end of next week about the next stage of the process. Is this verification of qualifications, Garda vetting & references?
Worked there for two years was lucky enough to get placed on a software dev team. But did know a couple of new recruits who came in with a background in software development who ended up working admin. They left about a year later. Work was interesting but I guess that depends on what you find interesting.
For anyone thinking of going for this, some light reading. The governments cyber security strategy and their baseline standards.
and
Thanks for the info. When you say admin do you mean duties that a non-ict EO would do?
Yeah one was working non ICT admin stuff and another came in and was put on the project management team.
I emailed PAS today and they have reached 39 on the EO Dev panel
dont preclude the possibility of them finding a role for you at HEO in yr current place that might suit.
This depends on a few things, one of which is giving them time to do so
id let them know youve placed and might be looking to stay
Has anyone heard from the EO panel?
Any update regarding 2021 HEO ICT Cyber Security stream panel placements? Any one got any communication from PublicJobs regarding this stream or the 2021 HEO ICT Infrastructure stream?
Thanks for this advice :D :D :D
ah mighty, i take it you got sorted?
Indeed I did, absolutely delighted to be staying. Really like the department that I'm in, suits perfect for public transport
The CSO draw from their own panels and also PAS panels. There is a quota for each.
