2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

Interviewed in Oct and got placed this week thought timelines might help.

Interview 7th Oct

Results 24 Oct oom 50s Dub open

Eligibility check 27th Oct

Clearance 3rd Nov

Assignment Letter 7th Nov

Remaining in current dept so skipped Garda Vetting making last step quicker.

Like others found the interview tough, as a first timer. They did ask questions specific certain roles, interrupt and even some hypothetical qs, so examples went out the window. I was not that confident but scored late 20s early 30s in all comps so felt it was fairly scored. I guess they are trying to avoid the scripted responses to get a real feel of your experiences.

Good luck to all.. it is definitely a process!!

I was told 4 weeks for Kerrys, such a long wait, not sure why, surly they know there and then if you passed or not. Does the results of the aptitude text only get you to interview or is this included in interview score I wonder and that's why it takes so.long

I was told 4 weeks at the most for results but would probably be sooner. I guess they would have to score everyone and assign new OOM's so not really a case of knowing there and then of you passed or failed. Fingers crossed it will be much quicker than the 4 weeks 🤞🤞

Would you happen to know what number was in the first batch for Cork, by chance? Thanks

With regards timelines

I'm in Cork interviews started 26th September and ran until the 14th, results were issued 24th.

Clearance email Nov 10th.

I am open panel and need to do my Garda Vetting, last time I was vetted was September and it took 3 weeks so I'm guessing I'll get my assignment letter in December

I was in the first 20 anyway, if you email PAS they'll let you know what number they're up to for interview

Hi lads,

Any update for Laois/ Offaly/ Westmeath? Thanks! I'm Laois/ Offaly but my friend is Offaly/ Westmeath. Thank you!! :D

Oh that is odd. I'd love to know what way they're processing (unless I've happened to choose areas so one else wants lol)

Anyone who recently had interview in Offaly, how was it?? You can private message me if easier 😀

Also interviewed for Wexford last week and received results today, very quick turnaround.

Got top 5,really thought I didn't do that well because they were firing the questions at me and I felt like I was grasping at straws trying to answer!

I had thought by the reading of the area selection docs that we could still be offered other areas as they arose, maybe I’m incorrect in thinking that ! Hopefully I’ve not disadvantaged myself by only selecting certain areas ! Thanks !

Does anyone know, I got results of the interview for Waterford. It says:

Batch: 2

Open Stream: 5

Does that mean that everyone in batch one will be placed before Batch 2?

First time making it this far in EO competition.

I’m 106. I don’t know if I have a hope 🙈

Thanks @furrybones

Wonder how long it will take for a position to come up?

Still pondering whether I would take it, coming from private sector so many things to bare in mind, pay cut, actually going into an office etc

@furrybones What county did you apply in?

Is notification of assignment given before you need to pass the clearance part.

Lots to weight up better work/life balance would be a big bonus as would job security
