Clerical Officer in the Civil Service 2022 | Civil Service - publicjobs.ie
Got the DSP in Dublin yesterday. Happy enough with that.
Well done congratulations what number are they on for louth pls
For anyone interested they are at OOM 60 for Tipperary as of today 👍
I have my interview this week any tips or advice on questions that were previously asked. Thanks
My oom was 11..
Just have your competency examples ready. I was asked why I was leaving current role.. I was asked one IT question, it was with gdpr how do you send a group email without recipients seeing each others email?
And just if I was familiar with excel and what courses I might like to do in future..
Is anyone waiting to hear from the Courts service? PAS have sent my assignment notice I’ve to them a few weeks ago and they have followed up again with HR but I’ve still heard nothing!
FYI
Has anyone heard when the next nationwide campaign will be ? Did they give a timeline for when this campaign will expire ?
Just had the rug pulled out from under me, finally got contacted by hr today after receiving assignment notice on the 1st Sept, the location of the position is 50km from the area I was proceeding to clearance for. Anyone had this happen and had a good outcome?
apparently next month for the new comp. End of Jan 2023 is when this panel expires.
I’d contact them and explain that with the cost of travel these days could they give you something nearer home. The money isn’t great when starting out and I think they don’t know how to read a map, once outside Dublin they haven’t a clue
Hi guys,
I have a interview for a clerical officer grade 3 role for the lmetb this week.
Any advice/tips for the interview process?
Thanks.
Firstly before jumping to any conclusions....
Is the blending working option available for this department? 1/2 days per week in the office.
Have you your own transport?
Isn't there a set distance from your home to office (eg. 60km etc) in which you can turn down a job and stay on a panel for one more offer?
Is there any departments based closer? I'm just thinking about my own County and many CO's have to travel 40/50/60km to work as no departments based in their local areas so no other option but to take the job if they want to get into the public sector.
Again, working from home here could be huge in terms of accepting the job.
Thank you for your reply, I appreciate them all.
Not a department where working from home is an option. There are 4 departments with offices in my local area one of which is where I thought I was headed.
I am taking a hit on income to try and a achieve a better work life balance, so spending 2 hours travelling back and forth the extra fuel costs and the extra 10 hrs childcare fees are the reasons I would never have proceeded to clearance for that area.
Just in pure shock as I never thought this could happen, I thought invitation to clearance for an area meant that was the area you would be working in.
Is this location on your list of preferences you gave? I selected 1 Town of 3 in my list of preferences and I was told my preferences got it. Then they put me down for a town I didn't pick, they rectified it very quickly.
No, I didn't have it on my list at all.
Then say it to them, they say this prior to completing location pref form " Should you be contacted regarding a position in a selected location outside of your chosen locations, you may decline this and remain on the panel for further consideration. "
Have gone past that stage, was contacted to see if I wanted to proceed through clearance for x location. All clearances and references completed. Assignment notice received weeks ago and today when hr finally got in touch it was for the wrong location.
Does that department have an office in your location?
That happened to me, HR contacted me for just say an office in my county 60k away. I said no I only selected x office in my town and they panicked and luckily there was a space for me there. Public jobs basically fucked up.... I was in a department where there was luckily an office in most major towns. If there is one in your town or nearer, state to them that you selected x place, forward them the email and demand it to be fixed.
Yes they do, they told me they had nothing currently open in my location and their request to pas had been for location they were offering.
Someone has fucked up somewhere I just hope I'm not the one left paying the price.
Good to hear that I'm not the only one and hopefully I can get a similar outcome to yourself 🤞
Spoke too soon yesterday re courts :P Got a call today from HR confirming start date of 7th November. They wanted me to start on the 1st but its just too short notice with childcare.
After a read over your replies since, this is a mess. It's their mistake!
Hopefully you get sorted. I'd keep onto them stating what you've said above and what others have said.
For the new CO comp I'm being told it's for the PPO only
Fritzelly what's PRO?
What's that
Passport Office?
This forum is for civil service only, there may be another one for ETB interview panels as the competencies may be different. Good luck with your interview
Yes
