You need a webcam on you anyway to monitor you doing them solo

I can't see that in the booklet. I've recently taken two CS tests and that has not been the case.

Do not use a phone for the assessments, if anything happens that would be a nightmare

@Spilly123 This is very good advice. I've taken two CS tests lately and it's way easier on a laptop/desktop.

Spilly123

Hmm ok, it’s just that when practicing the assessments I’m much quicker when using the phone as you just have to tap the answer with your thumb instead of dragging a cursor on a laptop. Do you definitely need a webcam? Didn’t see it mentioned and is a Chromebook ok?

Do not use a phone for the assessments, if anything happens that would be a nightmare and you only get one chance. You need a webcam on you anyway to monitor you doing them solo, so you'd need something external to your phone.

Very high! I know someone who went for the higher role as a recent graduate and did better than me! :)

Spilly123

In the familiarisation material booklet it says they suggest not to use a phone for the assessment but can you do so anyway? And is there any way they can tell you used a phone and if so would it hurt your chances of being called for an interview?

If you interview well and do good on the assessment too ofc, you will get the job especially if you're in Dublin it might as well be a guarantee.

I didn't go to university and I got in, meeting the competencies matters most but having your degree will definitely help with progression.

What's the chance that they'll hire a recent graduate? :) (obviously if I can do well enough on the OOM) Jobsearching has been a bit of a nightmare...

You can apply for mobility the day you start but won't be able to move for 2 years. Just get your name in the queue, some areas move at a snails pace just to be aware.

@hairyslug thanks!

I am me123

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120554009#Comment_120554009

Yes I also recieved the same notification.

I presume we get a message on our Public Jobs message board, informing us when the questionnaire has gone live on Monday?

Spilly123

Two questions.

Does everyone who completed the application get the link for Monday or is it just a select number?
Are the assessments the verbal interpretation, numerical interpretation etc ones?

CW2022

Any links for practice tests? Thanks

I've been a TCO now for 3 years, I'm applying for this campaign however I am hoping to be moving to Dublin next year. I didn't want to apply for the dublin panel yet as I can't afford to be travelling up and down just yet.

If I get permanent CO, I understand its usually 2 years before applying for mobility but since I've served 3 (so far) as a TCO am I able to apply for mobility?

Got a notification just now from public jobs to say we will be getting a link on Monday, open till 3pm Thursday

crinkley

Was that confirmed or just going by the information booklet?

busy_mom

Links for on line assessments to be issued on Monday 8th May.

As far as I know, but correct me, the Verification of Service form can be completed from each HR section of the Department that you worked in and your length of service will be applied to the relevant increment that you will start at. This will be requested at the screening stage.

CW2022

can anyone explain the transfer of service and increments for those who have prior public service or where you can go for advice? Thanks

VanBer

I applied for the NSSO CO. Does anyone know what they’re like to work for? Had never heard of them before. Thanks 👍

Thanks @sean3318

i didn’t download it either 😤

Would someone please post the competition booklet. I forgot to download it when I made my application.

lashofeye

My I ask what does the interview entail? Just finishing up a course and wondering if I'm suitable for this role? Thanks

Sometimes areas like revenue and courts run their own comps so they can ensure the people they employ have a specific skill set they would like as opposed to taking a chance on the generalist panels

Kirbi

Yes, the HR in the new organisation.

CW2022

@ Kirbi do you know who we ask this question to? Would it have to be the specific job HR? Thanks

Stace432

I see the courts service are advertising for clerical officers in a few select locations. Does this not come under the civil service?
