Hi all,
In the process of preparing out a few sample interview answers,
I've touched on :
1.Teamwork
2.How I stay organised
3.Confidentiality
4. Handling a difficult customer
5. How to priorotise tasks with same deadline
Does anyone who has recently interviewed have any more suggestions please?
Thank you!
Hi there,
prepare something for a project you’ve worked on that your proud of. Can use work/ college essays etc. That one threw me off
best of luck :)
Is this panel closed now?
Just got placed in Revenue GUTTED totally not where I wanted
In terms of interviews they're in the 600s by now, believe it's batch 3. In terms for employing, it seems like they're in the 200s?
Wondering why not?
Just not what I envisioned..could be on phone bank all day ..I'd crack up
After 7 months of waiting I got an email today for an interview- CO grade III in HSE.
I am assigned for Revenue at the moment and now I am thinking should I go for this interview or not.
does anyone here have experience working for HSE and Revenue what would be your thoughts?
Is that for all grades ...I'd hate to be working from home
Hi.
Im new to using Zoom.
I was provided with a URL interview link , Meeting ID & password for the interview.
Question - Do I need all three of the above to get into the interview?
How does it work?
Thank you.
Hi, you'd find it easier if you're using a PC and install the Zoom application.
If you do that you'll enter the meeting id into zoom and it'll ask for a password, following which you'll be added to the call. You'll be waiting a bit there before the interviewer joins and then it's just a normal video chat.
I have the Zoom application on my laptop.
Do I click on the URL link I was provided for the meeting first?
Im a bit confused.
Just click the link and it will open the app to the meeting (might ask do you want to open it) - get in 10 mins early and make sure sound and voice are enabled and get yourself positioned in the camera and a large glass of water in arms reach

Revenue is a great Department to get. Plenty of opportunities to progress and move around. They have plenty of promotion opportunities when you will be eligible.
Also apply for mobility as soon as you start, mad I know but in 2 years time when eligible to move, you will be at the top of the list.
Best of luck

My hubby works in Revenue. They are a great department to work for. Plenty of opportunities to progress and move around.
Another family member works for HSE and hates it. Looking forward to getting out. Also friends have worked for HSE and would not recommend it
Personally I think you should stick with Revenue, apply for mobility for other departments as soon as you start and in 2 years time you will give yourself the opportunity to move if you wish. The perks are better in Revenue especially for WFH.
Best of luck with whatever you decide
Do I need to use the Meeting ID & password in that case, if I click on the Meeting url provided?
Just click the URL and it will take you straight in to the meeting
Cheers fritzelly
Thank you for the info, I just looked at the booklet attached to my interview arrangement and noticed that working hours in HSE could be 8am-8pm over 7 days. This is not suitable for me, and I hope I will get normal office hours and weekdays in Revenue. I really hope that revenue doesn’t have any shift work 🥴
hey,
do you know if revenue is all 9-5 or is there any shift work? Also is there flexitime ? Thanks
What OOM have they reached in Dublin?
I think 90% of Revenue phone lines close at 1.30pm daily. So chance of a whole day on it are slim.
You can work 5 days a week in an office if you wish.
@bichonfrise7
Revenue has flexitime, it's not all 9-5. And yes shift work is applicable to certain roles that you must apply for through internal competitions. It's not just expected of you to do.
No employee is expected to work ,shift work in Revenue unless you apply for a role that requires this. Flexitime applies through out the department.
Majority of departments are the 35 hours per week Monday- Friday, 7 hours per day. Core hours you have to attend are 10-12.30 and 2.30-4pm. You can do 9 to 4.30 and take half and hour lunch and work your 35 hours a week. Or start at 8.30am and finish at 4. You may be on a rota for phones which start at 9.30am - so that could be the latest you may be able to start. The above may vary also but a rough guide.
Flexitime is available but may vary from department to departure also.
I'd associate shift work with Customs department.
That’s great thank you !
Yeah the HEOs and APs on my team and other teams only do 1-2 days a week in the office max and the rest is from home. My teams PO seems to always be in the office or at meetings tho so I’d say it’s different for a PO . Revenue is very for WFH and blended working. If you can work from home they will make you . If you say you cannot WFH for some reason you’ll be sat alone in an office most days.
does anyone know how long before you get told your start date roughly? Got assigned to revenue yesterday!
Same!
