2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

@redmarie def go for it, you would have to go through clearance etc and then ur told what dept it is with.

im the same haven’t told anyone, I will go through the whole process and see then. I’m 15 internal and 45 open so it could move fast. I’m very unsure too, but I think if u don’t go and see what they offer you u will regret it. My current job great for the kids and wfh am afraid of change too. I didn’t realise you could change back to CO if you didn’t like it so thanks to other posters for this info

@redmarie If you're talking about references to contact I listed the HEO of the HR dept (name, grade, email). I also listed my HEO (again, name, grade, email) but PAS didn't contact them, they only contacted HR.

Feel free to message me directly, if I can answer your questions I will :)

Yes, you should list him. HR will have all the information they need between your employment record and PMDS.

@redmarie Messaged you.

Anyone know up to what number has been called for interview yet for Dublin. I’m number 286 open and 102 interdepartmental. Wondering if I’ll have long to wait. Also do they do all tbe open first then the interdepartmental or how does that work. Also has anyone been called yet for Meath

I am curious about this too. Mid 200's Dublin and late 30's Meath and nothing yet, patience seems to be key though not my forte :)

Im 6 oom in wexford and nothing yet.

I have an interview next week for the Dublin Open stream. My OOM for the Irish stream is 10 and for the English stream is 143. I’ve seen a lot of comments about the etray exam. Does anyone know if this has been abandoned this year? It is my first time applying for EO as I just finished my master’s degree. What is the usual process? Is the interview the final stage or are there more stages eg verification of your ability to speak Irish etc. Also I have a few other questions if anyone has any idea:

• What is the process after the interview? Are you put on a panel and then notified if you are appointed?
• Approximately how long after (successful) interview would you expect to be employed?
• How much notice would be given etc (will have to relocate from a cork so I’m worried about finding accommodation in time)
• Do you have any input as to what department you are placed or how does this work? I would love the DFA as it is most relevant to my master’s but I’m not sure if how this would work?
• Any other hints or tips or ideas are also greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Rang PAS this morning as I'm going on holiday the end of the month and wanted to check if the etray would be soon. There's no etray, straight to interview. I'm in for Galway and he said the interviews for Galway haven't started yet. Hope this helps someone!

Good luck to everyone doing the interview this week!

I asked about the 2020 campaign for Monaghan and louth

We called forward up to OOM 9 from batch 1 to stage 3 interview for Monaghan.

We called forward up to OOM 8 from batch 2 to stage 3 interview for Louth.

I thought high teens stood a good chance for Monaghan this round, never mind I guess 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thanks, never know 😊

only about 4 mobility places came up last time too so I think 12-16 actual jobs 4 hired from each. But just guessing from reading boards and people I know looking to move. Etc

lots to retire in next 5 years so fingers crossed

It's largevolumerecruitment5@publicjobs.ie

Thank you so much for all that information, it is really helpful! When you say your friend was hired from the 2020 panel, does this mean that they passed the interview, vetting etc stages and then they only hired her two years later?

@corcaigh97 yes the EO and CO panels run for 2 years at a time. You don't get called for interview until they reach your place on the panel according to your Order of Merit from from assessments. I was in the mid 1600s for the Clerical Officer Panel for Dublin and got called for interview a year later before I got the job a few weeks later. The AO (Graduate) panel runs every October.
