CLERICAL OFFICER 2022

Hi i have been assigned to The National Shared Services Office (NSSO) in Dublin part of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER). Has anyone worked within this department. I don't know anyone working within this department so am unsure what to expect. Very nervous.

Congrats!!!! I’ve no idea pet ! You get start date & all ?! Don’t be nervous

Anyone any idea on numbers or assignments in Kilkenny

Congratulations you must be delighted! So if you pass are you given your order of merit number then?

Wondering if someone can help answer this for me please. I was due to start as CO in revenue in May just gone, but at the last minute, it was deferred and I now have a new starting date in early September. In the meantime, I started another job which is better paid, but quite stressful but also enjoyable. I know everyone's overall deductions will be different depending on tax credits etc but are pension deductions and Union fees the same for everyone? Just trying to guage if I will be able to justify leaving a better paid job (but which is only a 2 year contract, for permanency but significantly less take home pay). Could someone tell me how much is taken for the above 2 deductions please and thanks?

Hi @Hfelloni ,

No start date or location yet just the Department im assigned too.

I've been trying to read up on what the Department do so I have some clue where ill be working 🙊

Anyone having issues hearing back from a representative from clearance? Emailed the general clearance email address for help, as the woman I was in contact with for Dublin hasn’t been in touch in 2 weeks. Garda vetting cleared there last Friday, but worried because my boss said he never received an email with the reference form they need filled in and that it will slow everything down in being placed.

@citygirl22 how did you find the interview? I’ve got mine on Thursday. What sort of questions did they ask you was it all mainly competency based and did they ask for a second example? Did they let you speak much or did they interrupt you a lot?

@citygirl22 aw fingers crossed you got on ok. It’s always hard to judge how you were perceived. Good luck I hope you pass

Same boat Emma !!!! Know where I’m going just don’t know when !!! I’ll pm you if I hear xxx

@sunnyside21 thank you

I’m in the 120’s for KK and got expression of interest for interview Tuesday.

When people pass the interview are they getting a new OOM then or is it just a case you passed and wait it out then to see if you get offered a position? I've just selected Donegal and have my interview next week

Hi @drippininheat you keep your OOM and wait

That's a shame. I'm in the 70s in terms of oom and thought if I did a good interview I'd get a new oom. Can't see them appointing 70 or so CO in Donegal in the lifetime of the panel 🥲
