ESB Apprenticeship

Max07 · 20-04-2022 3:38pm #1

just wondering if anyone has applied for ESB apprenticeship 2022 ?

I haven’t heard about interviews yet ?

22-04-2022 12:28am

I applied and did the aptitude tests at the end of March. I haven’t heard anything since then!

Max07 · 25-04-2022 9:46am

Maybe we’ll hear something soon

Dildert123 · 30-04-2022 1:57pm

Waiting to hear something back myself too.

05-05-2022 7:27pm

Have yea heard anything?

otsu · 06-05-2022 12:14pm

Nothing on my end yet.

Same as everyone above, completed the application and assesment but still waiting to hear anything since.

veevay · 12-05-2022 5:03pm

I’ve just got a phone call, interview on the 23rd. Has anyone else heard back yet?

otsu · 13-05-2022 3:30pm

Nice one, veevay... hope it goes well for you.

Did anyone else hear back?

Dildert123 · 17-05-2022 4:58pm

Heard back I've one on the 25th

mtb_sends · 17-05-2022 7:41pm

@Dildert123, @veevay Well done, best of luck with it. Can I ask where are the interviews being held or are they remote? Were they in contact with you by email or phone?

17-05-2022 11:32pm

Best of luck @Dildert123 and @veevay! I got a called for an interview too.

@mtb_sends they rang me and sent an email. The interviews are in person in Portlaoise.

Dildert123 · 18-05-2022 6:08pm

Yeah i got a phone call then i was sent an email.

Mines in the clayton Hotel in dublin

mtb_sends · 18-05-2022 8:25pm

Well done @Sorcha97 best of luck with it. What date did they give you for your interview. I presume they will be run over a couple of weeks given the number of applicants

22-05-2022 4:45pm

@mtb_sends thank you! I have my interview on the 24th.

murphef · 23-05-2022 2:59pm

For those that have applied and haven't heard anything back yet, when you check your applied jobs on the ESB careers site is it still showing " assessment "?

For those that have heard back has it changed to " interview " ?

I personally haven't heard back yet, just curious if I'm still in with a chance of hearing back.

mtb_sends · 23-05-2022 5:01pm

@murphef I haven't heard anything back yet and it still says "assessment". If I'm not mistaken I think their interviews normally take place over the course of a month because they have such a large volume of candidates, so all is not lost yet anyway. I'm open to correction though.

murphef · 23-05-2022 5:09pm

Thanks for the reply.

I'm the same, fingers crossed we will hear something back soon.

Dildert123 · 24-05-2022 9:51pm

@murphef @mtb_sends

Well lads I had a quick look at my account and mine has interview on it.

It was strange this year they usually send out emails to show people where they are but there were none this year only a call about an interview.

mtb_sends · 24-05-2022 10:00pm

@Dildert123 Congrats on the Interview. Unfortunately I didn't make the cut. Just to let you know the status will change to "we regret to inform you that you have not been shotlisted" or something along those lines if your unsuccessful and you get an email confirming this. Best of luck to all who were shortlisted for interview 👍️

murphef · 25-05-2022 8:21am

@Dildert123 thanks for that. Best of luck with your interview

@mtb_sends sorry to hear you didn't get an interview.

I must go on and check mine again.

Corkgal007 · 26-05-2022 11:04am

I just checked mine and it says "interview " but I haven't received a call or email yet .

murphef · 26-05-2022 12:09pm

Just checked mine again there and it now says "interview" but it's dated from last week. Still haven't heard anything.

@Corkgal007 when was yours dated?

Hoping I haven't missed the email/call

otsu · 26-05-2022 1:50pm

If you're Cork based and your status has changed to "interview" I think you may be getting a call today or tomorrow so keep an eye on your phones.

murphef · 26-05-2022 2:06pm

@otsu any idea on the rest?

otsu · 26-05-2022 4:01pm

I dont, I'm just going on personal experience

Corkgal007 · 31-05-2022 3:30pm

My application changed to Interview on 17th May but I didnt get phone call or email until 26th May, my interview is tomorrow in Portlaoise.

Corkgal007 · 31-05-2022 3:33pm

@murphef any phone call yet ?? I know another guy from cork who had his interview in cork on the 23rd !

murphef · 31-05-2022 4:04pm

@Corkgal007 best of luck with the interview.

Nothing as of yet, hopefully hear something this week.

Corkgal007 · 02-06-2022 11:53am

Thanks @murphef interview went very well. Think its all girls this week for interviews in Portlaoise. Very slow process .Think they are also taking a break for 3 weeks due to leaving cert exams starting next week so I was told if I make it through to medical it will be in 3 weeks . The long waits are a killer but I presume that's expected with such a large amount applying.

My daughter is interested in applying next year. Any advice on the application process and interview ?. How did you demonstrate your suitability ?

Corkgal007 · 08-06-2022 9:56am

@GeneralSherman Interview straight forward enough , usual questions on displaying how you work as part of a team, knowledge of ESB etc. I have no idea how they cut the numbers down or how they decide on who to interview . Looking back at older threads it could be down to geographical position . I did the preparatory course which preps you for the application/interview and the assessment - I found this very good.

mtb_sends · 08-06-2022 10:03am

@Corkgal007 Being selected for interview is largely based off the results of the aptitude tests.

murphef · 09-06-2022 6:20pm

Mine has now changed from "interview" to "regret to inform" email received to confirm this. Taught I was through to interview when had "interview" but wasn't to be.

Corkgal007 · 15-06-2022 10:44am

Anyone hear anything back after interview yet ?

18-06-2022 12:24am

Well done on having a good interview @Corkgal007 ! I only saw girls being interviewed the day I went to Portlaoise, maybe they’re only interviewing women there?

I haven’t heard anything back yet. I don’t know how my interview went though so I’m hoping no news is good news.

Corkgal007 · 21-06-2022 9:47am

@Sorcha97 Yes they were only interviewing girls that entire week in Portlaoise. I haven't heard anything yet but a friend of mine from Cork had his interview in Cork the week before me and he heard back last week by email that he was unsuccessful . Best of luck to you . Where are you based ?

21-06-2022 2:36pm

Thanks. Best of luck to you too, I hope we both get it! :)

I’m based in Westmeath.

Has anyone else heard back?

Grootbaas · 21-06-2022 2:49pm

Haven't heard of anybody that has been successful after the interview phase.

Im told that nothing has changed.

It is still all about being connected and who you know! Very sad indeed...

Corkgal007 · 22-06-2022 11:46am

@Grootbaas do you think its still all about who you know ? hopefully not. I haven't heard of anyone being called for a medial yet . The process is frustratingly slow ! I am constantly checking my profile to see if the status changes from "Interview" to something else . looking up previous threads on this it seems it drags out til mid/late August before people are offered contracts or told no thanks !

Dildert123 · 23-06-2022 10:14am

This year is a bit different then last year.

Ladt year they sent out more emails saying that you've been shortlisted for interviews and stuff i got about 4 last year and none this year.

The interviews seemed to have been earlier this year aswell.

The amount of applications esb get every year is massive and its always a slow process.

Have you applied anywhere else?

23-06-2022 4:08pm

I hope it’s not about who you know!

I’m doing the same, checking my profile everyday. Maybe they’re still on a break for the LC. I hope we get called for a medical in the next month.

I’ve applied to a few independent apprenticeships. Have yea applied anywhere else?

Dildert123 · 24-06-2022 12:13pm

No I'm already a first year so i was hoping that would have a bit of influence on the selection

Corkgal007 · 28-06-2022 10:38am

@Dildert123 How is year 1 going ? were the exams ok ? Was there many girls taken last year compared to boys .

Hopefully they will start calling for medicals soon now that the leaving cert is over .

@Sorcha97 I haven't applied anywhere else . dont know if this was a good idea or not . If I'm unsuccessful I think I will apply for the guards next intake . Dont think I could have done any more in the esb application/assessment or interview .

Dildert123 · 29-06-2022 4:36pm

Got sent a email to do more tests anyone else get this?

29-06-2022 4:52pm

@Dildert123 I got that email too! It says on mine that it has to be completed by the 4th of July. I hope that means we’ll know soon!

I got into another apprenticeship but I’m hoping I’ll get the ESB!

Dildert123 · 29-06-2022 5:20pm

I've a feeling these are just to prove that it was you who did them the first time.

If things add up we could be invited for the medical after them.

Murphy2002 · 29-06-2022 6:05pm

I just got that email aswell, so I'm fairly sure it means you're in so once you don't mess up the aptitude test and pass your medical your good. I know a friend of mine received an email last week saying he was unsuccessful and he did the interview in the Clayton Hotel on Dublin a week after I did mine. So hopefully for anyone that got that email it's good news.

29-06-2022 6:07pm

I think so too.

I’ve only been asked to do deductive logical reasoning and spatial reasoning. Have you been asked to do any of the others?

Murphy2002 · 29-06-2022 6:31pm

No I've been asked the same and I was talking to lad in the ESB and he's says congrats you are in.

29-06-2022 7:49pm

That’s so exciting! Best of luck with the tests!

Has anyone else gotten an email?
