Just opened today! Anyone know what percentage of job offers are based outside Dublin just out of curiosity?
I’m in the exact same position as you here. Gutted!
Just got my results back, failed on one compentency, which people management.
I was thrown by the questioning which was all hypotheticals when I had prepared examples which I had no opportunity to use.
Does anyone know if I have any opportunity to be interviewed again for the next round of vacancies or do I just have to wait til next year.
I'm absolutely heartbroken. My Oom was in the top 70 and the rest of my competencies were all high. I can't believe that I've lost the opportunity just because of one question.
The posting for the Communications Officer (EO equivalent) panel went up just before 10 this morning. I had a scan of the info booklet for the requirements. You need a level 7 degree in Journalism/PR/Multimedia/Communications/Marketing and/or some relevant experience in 2 or more of the following areas: Multimedia/Communications, Press Office, Marketing, PR, Journalism along with experience in social media/branding/basic design etc. The list of requirements is quite extensive but those are the main things. Just wanted to put basic details of it here as I know it was discussed here a couple of days ago.
Also just to note, the Public Jobs website is going to have limited access from 2pm today (Friday the 2nd) until 8pm on Sunday (the 4th)
Ye but the panel is not the same length for each county Dublin has a longer period now. Also I know there is a good few EO positionz in my department which is bugging me because they aren't being filled.
on their end though, it's better for them to have a panel waiting, than to then have to put a panel together.
So it's solely for their benefit, but annoying for us.
I received the exact same e-mail about Cork. Very disheartening. Why didn't they just hold a competition solely for Dublin?
I sent an email about Limerick and this is the reply I got on 17th August:
We currently have no outstanding vacancies for Limerick. As vacancies arise candidates will be called forward in order of merit to interview.
A minimum of a NFQ level 7 qualification is needed for this campaign I think
Honestly don’t know waiting till it opens tomorrow to have a look.
Is a degree in a specific discipline required for this?
EO Communications Officer opening tomorrow for anyone that fancies it. Seems to be no end of jobs at the moment.
Oh that's good they must have a push to find EO's so
No presentation just a standard interview.
mine was on the 17th and still haven’t heard anything the wait is stressful 😂
Did your interview include a presentation?
Not yet and the
Not yet and the suspense is stressing me out.
Has anyone heard back from the interview board yet? My interview was a week ago tomorrow and the wait is killing me!
Fingers crossed but then again etray knocked out plenty of competition maybe they'll make the interview tougher
I am 249 open and 86 interdepartmental and haven't heard anything yet. Fingers crossed it will be soon
I doubt it to be honest, they went straight into interviews. If anything, that screams desperation and it'll fly?
Doubt it to be honest they’re desperate for staff across all departments.
Think they pretty much depleted the last comp near if not up to 3000
Is anyone thinking this might go slower than previous years as there is no etray?
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 :)
It will vary hugely depending on the county you're in/what the departments etc needs are.
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.
Interviews are all online I’m afraid!
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.
Does anyone have any idea where they are on the InterD Dublin panel?
from what has been mentioned, anyone so far is around the first 150-200 mark.
