Just opened today! Anyone know what percentage of job offers are based outside Dublin just out of curiosity?
@Govannan, I was in the early 90s for Dublin.
I have my Interview on the 17th August was just wondering if anyone had theirs at similar time and have heard back? The waiting is making me nervous 😬 😂
For anyone wondering about other counties, I am in the first 10 in Laois and Kildare and have heard nothing yet.
Does anyone know what educational qualification you need for the executive officer open panel. Is a certificate course from Technological university Dublin sufficient .
many thanks
This is from the 2022 Information booklet....
Thanks for that. I wonder would it be deemed a level 5 qualification then
If you have a leaving certificate, that should be enough.
Certificate course is probably level 6. You could ring the college and see what fetac level/qqi level your course was and they will surely have it
I never knew a Level 7 was a prerequisite until now. I know an EO with no formal qualifications who came in from the last panel. No idea how they managed that, they weren't serving two years prior either. Another from same panel has a Level 6 so I'm sure you're OK with your cert.
Best to get it checked I have seen people being told there assigned to a department but then told they can’t be placed because they were short a grade in leaving cert. Harsh but it has happened.
Level 7 only appeared in this comp up to this it was level 6.
This might be useful for anyone preparing for interview 🙂
Any idea up to what OOM they have called for interviews in Dublin Open so far just to try and gauge progress
from what has been mentioned, anyone so far is around the first 150-200 mark.
Does anyone have any idea where they are on the InterD Dublin panel?
Any update on Limerick panel? Also are interviews virtual or in person? I am just not not ok with virtual interviews give me in person anyday.
Interviews are all online I’m afraid!
Does anyone have any insight into how far down the OOM they are likely to call for Dublin? As in, what's the OOM they normally stop at in these kinds of competitions? Thanks.
It will vary hugely depending on the county you're in/what the departments etc needs are.
After stage one I was 397, so didn't hold out much hope, after stage 2 I was Batch 2 number 27. I was called for interview in December 2017 and had the interview in Jan 2018. Again, by the time June of that year came around I thought it wasn't happening :)
Is anyone thinking this might go slower than previous years as there is no etray?
Think they pretty much depleted the last comp near if not up to 3000
Doubt it to be honest they’re desperate for staff across all departments.
I doubt it to be honest, they went straight into interviews. If anything, that screams desperation and it'll fly?
I am 249 open and 86 interdepartmental and haven't heard anything yet. Fingers crossed it will be soon
Fingers crossed but then again etray knocked out plenty of competition maybe they'll make the interview tougher
Has anyone heard back from the interview board yet? My interview was a week ago tomorrow and the wait is killing me!
Not yet and the
Not yet and the suspense is stressing me out.
Did your interview include a presentation?
mine was on the 17th and still haven’t heard anything the wait is stressful 😂
