2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

That’s very helpful to know. Thank you. So I presume there would be hundreds of people working on the floor there?

Ok thank you. I don’t think this job will suit my personal situation as I need blended. I’ll be looking at other job options.

Anyone here get the EO that was already a CO? If so what happened to your annual leave? I carried over 15 days into this leave year on top of this years annual leave. Will the carried over 15 days all have to be used before taking up the EO? Does anyone have any experience of what happens. TIA.

I’m in batch 9 and was emailed for clearance today 🙂.

Just got an email to say I’ve been allocated to the department of justice and to fill out the extra clearance forms. I requested to stay within my department I’m currently in and they requested too so obviously wasn’t meant to be! Have no knowledge of justice at all so can anyone give any insight? I currently do blended working… do justice allow blended working? And is there flexi? Thanks for your help.

Probation in justice do blended working and some offices have flexi too

I only got the justice clearance email this afternoon

Yes, I heard immigration are very short staffed and most posts are with them!

Hi, depends where you are, I have friends in the IPO who work 4 days office 1 at home and then others 3 days in the office and 2 from home.

Yes I was an CO & all my annual leave carried over so you will be fine.

People who have been called for clearance in the Open Stream in Batch 9 for Dublin, whereabouts was your order of merit after the interview?? Don't need an exact number, just a rough indication. Trying to figure out when I might be called...

I’ve found out that my section in DSP only offer 2 days WFH after 9 months. Not great. I’m gonna keep looking for other jobs. Lot of other jobs offering more flexibility. If civil service offer poor flexibility on low pay, they’re really going to struggle to recruit. There has to be some benefit.

Hi, looking back at previous batches I guess the 2nd of June after the 2 weeks of interviews are complete, doing mine soon, can you tell me how was it, how did you find it?

It went well, Interviewers were very friendly, they spent some time at the start going through my application form and asking questions about my jobs before going into the competencies. They also asked a lot of questions based on my competency examples. They'll interrupt you a lot so be prepared for that too. At the end they asked some stuff about civil service core values, so try to incorporate some of those and the civil service renewal plan into your answers too ;)

Yes. Be sure to remind HR that you are an existing public servant. I was able to carry my more generous public service annual leave entitlement also.
