My understanding they go back 4 years however due to nature of your sick leave,a CMO can discount that period of leave for promotion purposes. I hope you are keeping well.

With regard Internal EO, I received an email in Education to say hoping to start in March but depending on availability of interview board.

3 interviews for an EO position is alot and should have been argued by Union as to my knowledge no higher grades have ever had to do 3 interviews. HEO and AP would have had to do a video interview on topics given in advance and then the main interview but that would have been for interdepartmental and not internal.

I got a requirement for presentation withdrawn from this internal EO as very little CO would have experience in presenting presentations.

Best of luck

Thanks for this!

I had an interview last May and this will be the second and last I hope!

I had requested my notes from the interview last year so I will be going over them along with my application form.

I think too much about interviews so I’m hoping il have a decent amount of time to prepare !

I've done the same for Westmeath. Is it just the waiting game now until they have positions in the locations we selected?

Danielle101 · 02-02-2023 4:46pm

Has anyone heard anything from Longford, got offered mobility today as a CO and trying to weigh up options.

RichPersonInsideAPoor · 02-02-2023 7:52pm

anyone know what OOM they’re up to in Waterford or Kilkenny?

I think so! I’ve accepted a clerical officer role in the mean time

Janas · 04-02-2023 12:52pm

How has everyone found the interviews this week? I have mine next week.

newbie18892 · 04-02-2023 5:37pm

i had my interview this week i found it quite quick of course but generally fine. i got a chance to use all my examples

apkmbarry · 04-02-2023 9:51pm

^ can echo that.

The 45 mins flew. Covered everything, I think I blundered one question, but overall not enough to fail the competency I believe. Mine panel had more of a ask 5-10 questions per competency as opposed to give me an example of X and let you fly through it.

I genuinely overprepared, if you have the questions covered earlier in the thread, and in the other thread on here covered, you're in a perfect position honestly.

quick feet · 05-02-2023 6:38pm

@apkmbarry & @newbie18892 care to share your oom (roughly) it'll give us a guide as to what number they have reached for interview.

CreativeCrafter3 · 05-02-2023 9:08pm

@Danielle101

I enquired about the OOM reached for Longford last week and they are at Open stream 12 interdepartmental 6.

I was in the 600's I believe. They've gone into the high 800s from earlier posts a few pages back.

Rebel90 · 05-02-2023 11:33pm

Any update for Cork open?

I contacted PAS 4 weeks ago on Jan 10th & was told 'OOM for Cork Open Stream-29, Interdepartmental-8'. Hopefully it's moved on a bit since then.

Re: interview experience

I don't know if "good cop, bad cop" it is official Civil Service interviewing strategy, or if someone was going rogue, but that was how mine was.

I've done quite a few competency interviews before for various non profits etc and never experienced that before.

Doing that must make it more difficult to mark everyone equally and fairly. What if not all the panels do that? I certainly felt prevented from getting my KPIs out. I kept getting cross-questioned on my previous point just as I was about to mention a KPI.

Same as me. Felt the man was quite firm and the lady was generally kinder. Thought the man seemed quite moody towards me which was weird. Was my own fault for failing and don’t think I was hard done by or anything but I agree with the good cop and bad cop act. The bad cop in my scenario I felt actually kept cross checking me similarly to you. One of the stranger interviews I’ve had anyways. Felt like I was being questioned by the Gardai lol

CP2016 · 07-02-2023 9:15am

I got those same numbers for Cork back in early December so it didn’t budge for a month. Hopefully it has moved since

Kizz1977 · 07-02-2023 3:13pm

Kildare Update.

I got the expression of interest for interview email on Friday. I am low 10’s interdepartmental stream and mid 20s open stream. Had an internal EO interview last week so its all go!

Got my EOI today folks - I presume you'll be this week if you weren't today!

solidasarock · 07-02-2023 9:26pm

Just got asked for expression on interest for a interview for Dublin.

~1000 in the open and around 500 in the interdepartmental. The message didnt state which pool they pulled me from.

jaffa20 · 07-02-2023 9:27pm

Hi all, I know it's not really related but hopefully someone can help.

For annual leave in the civil service. Is it correct that you need to use more or less all your leave by the end of the 3rd year?

I read circular and my understanding is you are only allowed to carry forward whatever is the difference between your allowance (say 23 days for EO) and statutory leave (20 days). So, 3 days would be max you could carry forward? I guess it means you'd have to use all additional leave accrued from previous years too.

katway · 08-02-2023 1:29am

@Kurokishi got my email today too! Hopefully we hear soon about dates

Mutt Love · 08-02-2023 10:53am

For those wondering about Meath, PAS have confirmed they've called up to 31 from open and 14 from interdepartmental.

shardor18 · 08-02-2023 11:07am

Has anyone got anything from Limerick since the first group of 7 open and 2 inter?

Mad Limk is in single digits and Dub is hitting 1000

Anyone know how far up they are calling in this batch for Dublin open?? (i am in the 1500's)

katway · 08-02-2023 11:46am

@Meanman I was called yesterday and I am OOM 852, I think there’s a comment above saying they were also asked yesterday and they are OOM 1000 so I would say maybe a month or two for you, they are going so fast.

Any update on the Kerry Panel
