Interdepartmental HEO

Well done to all that passed the latest round of interviews & to those that didn't don't take it as a failure and definitely request feedback & a copy of the interviewers notes for the next time. I failed the first time I tried but thankfully passed this time around. Can anyone that has received clearance/offer from batch 2.5 say what department they have been offered & if blended option is available straight away?

The 2020 panel I believe is still in place. This current competition was opened to fill Dublin vacancies and would only go to Regional if nobody was left for a particular location on the 2020 competition. I think this one expires 2024. Current department I'm working in has extended it's internal HEO panel which is due to close soon as a new internal HEO competition is going to get ran shortly

Hi Lads,

i posted there a week ago re Clare/Limerick interviews , i rang them thursday 9th and emailed them and was told that no department had put a request in for anyone in Clare/Limeirck. The next day i got an invitation to an interview. So what does that say.

anyway a year later I got a date. I was wondering could some of you on the board that have finished with there interviews give me the topics they received fro presenation. Was reading PFG and there are 12 missions and about 6 topics under each mission. Shaking in my shoes with this one. and have looked at competencies in so long.

your help would be much appriicated

Seems to be happening a lot, do you mind sharing what department you were offered.

Where are people being placed?

Hi Mary Irish, There is no way of knowing what topics they will give you for the presentation. My advice would be to do your interview prep and then work on presentation when you get the topic. Try pay attention to the competencies being assessed in the presentation and word it towards meeting them! I thought my presentation was great but barely scrapped a pass when the results came in and I think that's where I fell down.

Nope, clearance is just a self-declaration form then they ask your dept for a reference. No word on department til after this process

Where did you get placed?

My interview was competency based and each interviewer took 2 competencies each.

Has anyone heard back from PAS about where they are to be assigned?

The day I sent back my clearance docs I asked which dept I was going to and PAS answered. I didn't hear from HR unit until about a week before start date. However, each dept will differ in how they do things.

So do you think I should ask?
