    There are probably Revenue threads where people would know about these things. I think Revenue has its own competitions? separate to the general civil service competitions.

    Im in for this too. I have interview next week.. Id imagine the specialist knowledge will relate to previous studies /work experience in tax/audit/compliance.

    Heres hoping there hasn't been much applicants and we get an oom after the interview. Im guessing they are eager to get bums on seats in Revenue as they seem to be severely understaffed. Takes ages to get a response from revenue at the moment.

    Didn’t ask for a second example but grilled me on the values of the Civil Service

    For those that were lucky enough to get promoted from CO to EO, how long did it take to receive the pay increment?£



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 990 ✭✭✭furrybones


    For me it was over 3 months. I believe people point were the issue - there was a huge backlog and people point prioritised new recruits over pay increases. There were others in my Dept in the same situation at the time.

    I am currently a CO and was assigned as an EO in early March and retained by my department. I got an email from my HR at that point saying that they would assign me to an EO position in due course but i haven't heard anything since and am still getting paid as a CO. I spoke to my colleagues about it and they are of the opinion that i should be paid as an EO from the day i was assigned. Is this correct?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 990 ✭✭✭furrybones


    I would definitely clarify that with HR. While you can be assigned a position you need to get your actual start date nailed down. I was assigned my position and retained by my department but I didn't officially begin my EO role for about 3 weeks after that. Contact your HR section and ask them for an update.

    Anyone know up to what OOM have been called in Laois and Tipperary so far??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13 Oscar2286


    If you email LargeVolumeRecruitment5@publicjobs.ie they really fast responding



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 853 ✭✭✭hillbloom


    I think its very unfair contacting referees especially current employer & one not even knowing what part of the city or county you are been offered this position. The location might not suit & the long wait before been offered the job. Some employers could be very awkward especially those in the private sector. They seem to be very hidden.

    Does the process take a year from advertising to interview? Will there be an open competition in 2024? Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42 Watermelonsugar


    I was also about 3 months before scale around Chirstmas and had lots of hisscups so check all pay carefully.

    Like @furrybones mentioned there were backlogs in NSSO processing down to staffing and resouces focusing on applying the pay increases, hopefully it has sped up since.

    Defo contact HR and clarify your promotion date is effective from date of assignment to your dept as an EO, mine was and I moved roles thereafter.

    You are also nearing the 3 month probation mark without having begun the EO role, seems unusually long and unfair to hold you back on your development.

    Anyone know the timeline for interview results. Going off last comp it was 1 week. However, with bank holiday, I’m guessing it’s week after maybe, unless different this time around?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Strider84


    Hopefully sometime this week. I was interviewed over two weeks ago, and that batch of interviews ran into last Friday.



  • Posts: 101 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Hopefully this week to put me out of my misery.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 Eoin2231


    I found this to be the case too. Same interview panel. Found both interviewers to be very nice, but an awkward question threw me at the start and not sure if I recovered enough. Will find out when we get results.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 319 ✭✭JennyZ


    Apologies if this has been asked previously. I have an interview coming up shortly and I am just wondering, if successful, how long roughly it may take then to be offered a position? Dublin panel.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭OKDublin


    I had my interview end of Jan. I am starting end of May.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 835 ✭✭✭rsl1976


    I interviewed 27th Jan started in my new department on 3rd April



  • Posts: 101 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Think it depends if you are moving department, staying put or new to civil service. Anyone in my place who stayed, started in the EO position within a month.

    How long does it take for the interview results take to come back ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13 Oscar2286


    New internal EO competition announced in the Department of Justice yesterday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 kilkengal


    Anyone else regretting foregoing an expression of interest because it wasn’t your first choice but now your first choice still hasn’t moved and if you had taken the EOI originally you’d probably be placed by now. It’s so frustrating!!

    if anyone wants to know for Laois:

    open: 7

    inter: 6



  • Posts: 101 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Results are out.

    I passed. In the top 50



  • Posts: 254 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Passed also. I’m delighted. Congrats to all



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 Winter132


    Congrats to all who passed - just a quick question - is it correct to say everyone will be called from this batch before they move onto the next batch ? Sorry if it is a dumb question



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 Winter132


    Does anyone know how many from batch 8 have been called so far roughly ? TIA



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 Eoin2231


    Results from Batch 9 today. Surprised to have passed. 115 on OOM.
