It can be used to calculate the future increment date. So if your increment is in 4 months it will take 4 months off the future increment date of the E.O grade (doesn't work exactly like that, a macro on excell is used to calculate the exact amount taking off).

Got my e-mail this morning as well. I replied there and then; they really do not give you a lot of time to get back to them so a prompt reply is essential.

When I got the message as to who was on the panel, it showed who would be covering and when so I think it's Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week and next week.

I felt it went well but I'm second guessing myself now :)

I think it's a mix of counties, I don't know when we'll hear either way but I'm not holding my breath for any news before the end of the month. :)

truespark · 12-01-2023 12:32PM

Dublin open, OOM mid-high 500s. I received request for expression of interest yesterday

skidmarkoner · 12-01-2023 01:15PM

Anybody in the wexford panel above oom 39 hear anything?

drawaline123 · 12-01-2023 04:35PM

Hello All!! How long were you waiting from interview to get the results of your interview? Or how long do you think the wait will be? Interviewed today, not all that happy with how it went so wondering when I will be put out of my misery 😅

I did mine yesterday but there are more next week so really not expecting to hear anything before the end of the month. What county did you interview for?

drawaline123 · 12-01-2023 05:33PM

Mine was for Westmeath, yours? I may just email them and enquire!

chillmad · 12-01-2023 05:39PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120099292#Comment_120099292

for Offaly, what number were you for Westmeath?

drawaline123 · 12-01-2023 05:47PM

I'd rather not say the specific number but I was in the first batch!

I was 276 on the Interdepartmental OOM so it's safe to say that they are a little further up the list than this.

Hi all I applied for Cork and placed 40 in the first round of tests.. then got called for interview for Clonakilty and placed number 1 which I’m amazed at.. have sent through my qualifications and will be going through clearance next.. can anyone tell me what’s involved..

I’ve recently just got promoted to hr manager in work so now I’m not really looking for a job but I’d be interested to see what they offer, does anyone know if there are hr roles in this type of scheme

jonevin · 12-01-2023 09:45PM

Thank you so would it be an idea perhaps for me to get in at this grade and try and still pursue a career in hr internally?

If you primarily want a job that is stable and solid then the EO position may be right for you. However, you are unlikely to be posted to or work in a HR role should you take it up, which sounds like it isn't what you are hoping for. Also, if you are entering in from the private workforce then you will be starting at point 1 in the EO pay scale as they will not take prior experience or qualifications into account here.

I hope this helps.

If you don't get placed in HR you can apply for a transfer into that area over time, after probation.

julylyly · 13-01-2023 10:09AM

I got my placement in Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection yesterday. Does anyone know what the department is like to work for? I've only heard bad things unfortunately.

skidmarkoner · 13-01-2023 10:34AM

No you can apply internally after 2 years

Job_seeker · 13-01-2023 11:37AM

Hi,

just to confirm they’ve called 488 for interview (Dublin open) but are up to OOM 890…..meaning 400 have been skipped over/ not taken up for whatever reason?

Cheers

ruudgullitsittingonashed · 13-01-2023 12:08PM

Hi, I can't find a thread for the Communications Officer (EO) campaign so hope it is ok to post about it here.

I had an interview for the campaign last Friday - just wondering if anyone else here had an interview and, if so, have you heard anything back from them yet?

Thank you.

drawaline123 · 13-01-2023 12:09PM

Congratulations! How long was the wait from interview to them requesting clearance from you?

I worked with a lady who was a CO in Social Welfare for years and loved it and anyone in our local office are there YEARS so it's probably not that bad :)

KevoS2009 · 13-01-2023 12:24PM

Hi, I have an interview next week for EO. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas as to what questions might be put forward during the interview? Thanks

EO2020 · 13-01-2023 12:30PM

Judging by other comments and how pas seems to work it seems up to oom 488 from Dublin have been called and completed interview so far but now up to oom 890 have been called for an EOI awaiting interview. So they haven’t skipped 400 people, 400 people are going to be called for interview shortly

LittleBoBeep · 13-01-2023 12:36PM

Know your competencies inside out and use the STAR method to structure your answers. There shouldn’t any surprises outside of that. Some good advice was already given throughout the thread if you skip back through the pages.

Best of luck, the time absolutely flies during it.

Absolutely! Know what motivates (This was a question) you and why you think you'd be suitable for the job (this was also a question).

Molly2016 · 13-01-2023 01:19PM

I had interview during week. Have really strong examples of each one, I think especially for people management and delivery of results.

be prepared for lots of small questions like why were you choosen to be leader of project or what you do differently.

example of difficult decisions you made and outcome.

they very nice and will question you fully until they get to an answer they looking for.

best of luck ☘️

Belle23 · 13-01-2023 01:28PM

Can anyone advise how long they were waiting for clearance to begin after being asked to submit location preferences? Just trying to get a ballpark idea of a timeframe..

I chose the 2 major urban areas in my county, no obscure areas that may have fewer positions.

Janas · 13-01-2023 02:15PM

Update from PAS just now

Offaly: Open Steam 61 Inter 26.

Westmeath: Open stream 41 inter 24.
