Just opened today! Anyone know what percentage of job offers are based outside Dublin just out of curiosity?
I did actually email the large volume recruitment email and they just said "Invitations to interview will be sent out in the coming weeks and interviews will be held throughout May".
My increment carried over from the County Council but I'm not sure how often this is the case.
No you should receive an increment as in go to the next scale point above what you are currently on now
I'd say your brother is thinking of Internal Competition Interviews where forms have to be filled out & you're asked questions around the competency examples you've listed.
Saying that, they can ask for more than 1 example in the Open & Interdepartmental interviews so it's wise to have back up examples for each one just in case.
Hi all,
I currently work in the Public Sector as Exectuive Officer (almost 5 years).
Will I be placed on the same payscale when I take up my new position as Executive Officer in the Civil Service?
Many thanks
Hi I got my EOI for the Interdepartmental dublin last Monday OOM 741 any ideas for the wait for Interdepartmental interviews after receiving EOI?
Ah ok thanks for clarifying as I was confused. I will of course if I hear anything. Not sure If I should email them?
I found my interview very hard, I found I was **** compared to my 2020 one. Here's hoping the results show I've done a bit better. I only missed out on 2 competencies last time. Feel like I did **** on all of them this time. Head was just not in it. Here's to 2024.
I wasn't directly but they did ask for examples from previous jobs I had, right back from since I left school.
Seems like there's some sort of hold up from others experiences but I might give them a call. Thanks.
Ah ok wow that's a long time. Sorry I checked I'm actually 1522, I think I was getting confused with my AO OOM :) I guess we just wait then. Will you check back in if you hear.
Anyone who has had an interview already were you asked for a second example of any of the competencies? My brother who's also a civil servant had told me they'd often ask you for one that's not on your form as they expect this one to be rehearsed but I don't think we even had to put the competencies on the form this year?
Hi I have an OOM of 1457 for the dublin open stream and got an EOI for an interview on the 4th of April but haven’t heard anything since.
Hii had my interview this week and I was around 1440's. I would contact PAS to enquire. They do say you should receive with 3 working days of an EOI if not contact them.
Hi , All
Just an update. I had my interview this week and as previously advised it was fast paced. Alot of questions on my education and previous job roles.
Conflict, underperformance, anyalsis and decision making skills. What my challenge would be as an EO and challenges for Civil service. How I deal with pressure. Would I be impartial or biased. Presume this was asked as I previously worked in Deasp.
Not sure when results are out but presuming they are doing interviews in 2 week batches, so may be out next week.
On 31/03/23
we have called forward up to open OOM 58 and interdepartmental OOM 21 from Kerry to stage 2 interview
Same, I have an eoi but no date yet.
I got an EOI (Dublin Open) on the 17th. Still waiting for an interview invitation. Seems a long time. Anyone else receive an EOI that date? My OOM is 1457.
I got assigned the Thursday evening at half 4 before Easter, they got in contact Tuesday at 5.20pm ish. So 1 working day was mine lol
Two weeks today, still waiting...
How long are people waiting roughly for their new department to contact them after being assigned? I'm anxious to get moving :-)
They understand that most employers expect at least a months notice so you'll be able to hand in your notice in reasonable time.
On open competition, once assigned, how long is it usually before the start date?
Do we get to give notice to current employer (non Civil Service).
Thanks
I know someone who went from EO to AO, didn't even move desk! I'm sure theres a way of HR tagging who they really want, just depends on if PAS bothers to pay attention to it tbh.
Thanks a mill 😊
Thanks, yeah I meant in same Department. Although section would be nice and there is vacancies at the moment. It's probably still going to take ages for me to be called for EO interview but it's good to know there's a possibility I can try get to stay in same Department.
It can be done alright depending on the HEO & AP & of course on whether there's a vacancy for an EO. I worked in Revenue & one of the COs in my section got EO & was allowed to stay in our section.
Do you mean just the department or actual section you currently work in? Staying in the same department can be done alright, especially bigger ones like DSP and Revenue. Staying in your actual section/area can be a lot harder and I've been told it's not the done thing at all.
I haven't been called for interview yet but I'm just wondering for those that are currently COs on the open competition, is it possible to request placement in your current Department? Ideally if I was placed, I'd rather stay where I am.
Hi all
Does anyone know what no they have called to Sligo
