CLERICAL OFFICER 2022

Thanks for your replies.

I’m a little concerned about the delaying things though in case I do pass but didn’t get an offer before the campaign finishes (I’m very new to this but I think I read something about this here the other day). Anyway I think I will sleep on it and decide tomorrow whether to just do it on the holiday or ask about rescheduling.

You keep your order of Merit, so you'll be the first from that batch to get offered a position if you do delay your interview. If you're in a big enough county and they are interviewing another batch then I wouldn't see the harm in delaying, people getting placed will pick up next month after the summer lull

I have a bad feeling that they have skipped me completely in Kildare 🙈 my OOM was 36 and was called for interview back in June (this ended up being rescheduled as I had a family emergency) so I had to wait for next batch of interviews which was in July. I was under the impression that my OOM would remain the same.. I got word that I passed my interview on 2nd August. But I know they have gone way over my OOM in Kildare now. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Should I just wait it out?

@ciara_mar similar happened to me. I was in the 200's for dublin. I interviewed in feb and received my department in march. It was june and i still hadnt heard so i contacted them. And i started in July. If you are in a hurry to start i would contact them 😊

@RichPersonInsideAPoor They were at OOM 112 for Waterford two weeks ago

It's not, people are just assigned to jobs in the order they are on panel

Am I right in thinking you're longford? Do you know exactly which section yet?

Hi all, I just got notification I passed my interview for Dublin 😊 how long were you waiting to hear from clearance after passing interview. Thanks

What does that mean?

they interviewed up to 270ish last panel but that was over 2 years

They told me they only call for interview when notified of vacant positions & only interview slightly over the number of vacancies to allow for people who don't pass or enter takevan offer. You've a great chance of being called.

Hi, I got offered a position in the DCEDIY. Does anyone know what it is to work there, work hours, blended work etc? Also, if I decide this is not for me, is now the time to email PAS and enquire if there are any positions closer to home or is that a no no?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I’ve just found out that I’ve been assigned to the Department of Health from the panel. I’m coming in from the private sector so I was just wondering if anyone has any information on the department?

From what I can see the central office is based in Miesian Plaza on Baggot street but would it be likely that I’d be there or are there other locations around the city I could be based in? And if it is there does anyone know what facilities the building has, showers (as I’d hope to cycle)?? canteen??

Also , I would prefer to work in the office until I was comfortable in the role but does anyone know if flexitime is available in the department? And what the departments blended working policy is for future reference?

I know these are all probably ridiculous questions and things I will most likely find out on day one but just don’t want to go in totally blind as I’m already second guessing the decision to move.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what the OOM is for Dublin interview?
