2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

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.

@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.

westhamlady · 08-02-2023 12:29pm

Any update on the Kerry Panel

Thanks Katway for update.

Itchyfeet89 · 08-02-2023 11:45pm

Anyone calles from the Irish language EO panel?

Itchyfeet89 · 08-02-2023 11:45pm

Anyone know when the next EO competition will be on?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120218055#Comment_120218055

It is usually a two year cycle so I dont expect another campaign to take place before mid-2024. Dublin may be different of course as most vacancies are there.

galsberg11 · 09-02-2023 3:44pm

zeldamayo · 09-02-2023 7:17pm

Does anyone know if a Level 7 Special Purpose Award suffices for qualification on open stream? I am assuming it does based on point (i) of the information booklet.

Kennyk1990 · 09-02-2023 8:32pm

For anyone in Waterford I got an EOI email today for the open compitition. My OOM was in the 50s

sunnysideup21 · 09-02-2023 10:07pm

Anyone know anything about Cavan panel?

rsl1976 · 10-02-2023 11:32am

How long of a wait for interview results generally? I interviewed 30th Jan. Not hopeful I passed but would like to be put out of my misery 🤣🤣

apkmbarry · 10-02-2023 3:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120223217#Comment_120223217

I interviewed around then and they told me two weeks at the end of it. So another week to go :))))

rsl1976 · 10-02-2023 7:16pm

I was counting today as the last day, so hopefully early next week

apkmbarry · 11-02-2023 12:43am

I assume we're the same batch, so they'll prob leave it late next week.

Fiona Marie · 11-02-2023 11:06am

Kerry Panel:

About a month ago my friend emailed them and they said they’ve called upto 46 on the open and 16 on the interdepartmental for Kerry. There maybe some movement since then.

Yes, Batch 3!

TheJet · 13-02-2023 1:01pm

Havn't been on here in a while. My OOM low 100's in the open comp for Cork and mid 100's for Limerick. I can't believe in 6 months there has been hardly any movement on both. Half sorry I didn't select Dublin as a lot of Departments working from home and could manage the commute to the capital a few times a month if required.

chillmad · 13-02-2023 1:15pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120223217#Comment_120223217

I interviewed on Jan 11th and got the results on Jan 27th.

rsl1976 · 13-02-2023 1:21pm

Thanks, could be another few days so

I had Limerick as a second option and I was low 100s too, glad I accepted the interview for Dublin now. Very frustrating to see Limerick panel not move at all, thought Revenue would be recruiting lots of EOs. I’m based in Dublin but looking to leave and hopefully work from home in the next role if successful.

13-02-2023 7:48pm

Remember folks you can apply for mobility straight away to move closer to home or another department once you get placed in your new department. Just because you may not have got chosen area in this competition,all is not lost. It just may take you an extra couple of years to get there.

When applying for mobility it will mark you as ineligible because you have to be 2 years in current department however you move up the numbers, meaning in 2 years time you will potentially be at top of that list and will be able to move, once that eligible button appears.

Hope this helps!

user1250 · 14-02-2023 9:03am

Does anyone have a rough idea of OOM for Dublin. I know someone said a few comments back they were 1000 but didn’t know if they had been called from the internal panel. I’m in around 1200 and just seeing would I be long waiting.

Congrats! Has clearance been in contact with you yet? Hoping we’ll be offered positions soon

@Iggy1986 Revenue are running an internal comp this year which I presume is why the Limk panel hasn't moved. im top 20 open and top 5 inter and haven't heard a thing. After the tests for the internal comp I'm not too optimistic for that either 😒😒
