    I’m in the same boat. I emailed them and they responded saying that they will try their best to accommodate all applicants preferences.

    Appreciate that thanks! I got an email back off them today have to fix an address on the Form B this evening and they’ve told me I can’t have the first of December either (even though I selected it over a week ago) so I’m now booked in for the second. But still no further detail on times etc

    Just wondering if the career service stage 3 is worth the €120, I’ve passed stage 1 and 2 using career service but I don’t want to be throwing away money at this time of the year if it’s not worth it !🎄

    I used gardaip for stage 3 prep. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

    @Nompixels Did my interview last week, found it kinda rushed and when I was explaining things they literally just wanted a quick answer to everything, like the they say to use the STAR but I felt they don't really give you time to use it right and give a detailed answer . How did you get on?

    Don't be dissuaded by this. Their goal is to score you as best they can across all competencies. With limited time to do that, they end up switching up the conversation often. I had the same experience as yourself and ended up scoring quite well.

    From anyone that has done the interview in last few days . Do they go straight into the competencies or ask about you at the start . Will they prod you for more or let you keep talking ? Should you have a story to your competencies or just bullet points and then they will ask you to elaborate ? Thanks

    @Physeter Thank you for the advice, How long where you waiting from when you did the interview to when you got the result? @Mann2022

    For the beep test/shuttle run, does it tell you what stage your at when upping levels or does it just beep? Thanks

    Up until level 5 they'll call out just the completed numbers (1, 2 etc.). Beyond that that they should call out the granular levels (5.1, 5.2 etc.) but the tape plays a beep also. If you have a decent invigilator, they'll wave you down once you've completed the required level.
