Clerical Officer 2023 (Nationwide)

VanBer · 18-05-2023 2:48pm

This isn’t in relation to this particular campaign but is it normal for a civil service interview to not have heard anything back regarding how you did or the formation of a panel in over 2 months? The longest I’ve ever had to wait to hear back is about a week from an interview so I’m just not used to the process.

Spilly123 · 18-05-2023 3:03pm

@slick_rick88 Are we all not supposed to get an OOM after the assessment?

Is that for last year’s competition?

Yes I presume its just you letting them knpw that you are interested in the selected area you chosen, once they know then they will get back to you once there are going to be interviews held in the town/city you have choosen..but I'm open to be wrong

That's what I thought too..I think I'm going to email them and ask..Will let you know they get back to me..

Spilly123 · 18-05-2023 3:55pm

@slick_rick88 Cheers, I think that might be an expression of interest for a position arising from last year’s competition because I’m fairly sure we’re all meant to get an OOM first

slick_rick88 · 18-05-2023 4:54pm

This is what it looks like

crinkley · 18-05-2023 5:32pm

That’s last years competition, I wouldn’t be holding out for Kerry if I was you. Go for it and you could get Kerry in this years and just move then

Spilly123 · 18-05-2023 5:48pm

Yep that’s last year’s competition, the email says 2022, you should probably take it if you can.

It's not normal but I know of a couple of people who interviewed for CO jobs back in March and they still haven't heard anything back. It's an insanely long time to keep everyone waiting.

Can't afford to move to Cork financially..well spotted that it was last year competition..I'll just wait to hear from this year competition

slick_rick88 · 18-05-2023 6:59pm

Sadly I can't..well spotted..thought there was a certain cut off for competitions..thought once 2022 was over thought that would be end of that campaign etc.

Here I was getting all excited to hear back on whether I got an interview for Co Cork from this year’s competition.

🥲

CivilServiceNew · 18-05-2023 11:29pm

@2016claire thank you so much. I've said id prefer a department that has wfh in AGS but they can't guarantee it depends on business needs which is understandable. I'm starting in a month but haven't got a formal offer yet, from your experience will I be given my department prior to start date. Thanks for your reply 😀

2021_AP · 19-05-2023 12:25pm

It would be unlikely that you would know a specific section of AGS in advance, you will probably just know location

It will be up to the Supt/AP/chief whether they deem your role suitable for wfh and then there will be training time and time required to get a laptop or wfh token

CivilServiceNew · 19-05-2023 1:13pm

@2021_AP Thank you 😀

mrsdewinter · 19-05-2023 6:41pm

First time applying for CO. Given that the aptitude tests were last week, when do you think the interviews are likely to take place?

I have some time off in early June, I'm just debating whether to book a holiday, or are my plans likely to be scuppered by being called to an interview at less than 2 weeks' notice.

Blondedoll · 24-05-2023 12:49pm

Hey Guys, anyone have any idea on when stage 1 assessment results would be out. Thanks

berniegirl · 24-05-2023 1:33pm

I’m wondering too. I’m hoping I’ve at least passed that section.. hopefully we will hear soon. 🤞🤞

Spilly123 · 24-05-2023 5:43pm

Waiting too, surely be in the next week?

ddls33 · 24-05-2023 9:27pm

I wonder will there be many employed for leitrim or roscommon or does anyone know or have any idea?

McPhillips00 · 26-05-2023 9:08am

Hi I recently received my OOM result and placed in the top 100 in my chosen county. I was just wondering is it reasonable to believe I’ll get an interview soon or is it unlikely to reach 100 candidates. This is my first time applying.

Cape Clear · 26-05-2023 9:10am

Got a result for Cork this morning.

Blondedoll · 26-05-2023 9:16am

Got no results yet in Donegal

crinkley · 26-05-2023 9:34am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120641865#Comment_120641865

Depends on the county, if theresa few gov departments or even one large one very good chance

cargil36 · 26-05-2023 9:43am

Hi has any got an OOM for Limerick. Just wondering are they out? Thanks

koifish · 26-05-2023 9:46am

Got 300 OOM for Kildare... would that be a reasonable number or is it unlikely they'd be recruiting that many anytime soon? 😬

The_Kitty · 26-05-2023 9:47am

Hoping someone can help me :) the results of the stage 1 test is in but i can't open the message because it tells me i have it opened in multiple windows. I am doing it in my phone. I've tried closing everything and nothing works

The_Kitty · 26-05-2023 9:48am

Hoping someone can help me. I can't access the result of my stage 1 assessment cos it keeps telling me i have it open on multiple windows. I have tried closing everything and nothing works. It is a phone i am accessing it from.

mrsdewinter · 26-05-2023 10:10am

I'm well down the field in my first preference county. No result for my second preference. Dammit anyway.

It's all feedback, I guess...

Best of luck, everybody!

Blondedoll · 26-05-2023 10:12am

300s in donegal seems reasonable enough 200s for sligo fingers crossed for everyone.

sean3318 · 26-05-2023 10:16am

Hi got a result of 181 for Galway but nothing for Mayo for my first preference would that be right?

neador · 26-05-2023 10:35am

Hi, no result yet for Mayo here too. Got 99 for Kildare!

sean3318 · 26-05-2023 10:47am

Is that unusual do they give it at a later date?

neador · 26-05-2023 10:58am

No idea, I emailed there re Mayo results and they said 'you will receive an order of merit for both of your selected locations in due course'.

sean3318 · 26-05-2023 11:02am

Got there now got 156. Don't know if that's good or bad.

neador · 26-05-2023 11:05am

ah thats great!

Red Honeysuckle · 26-05-2023 11:11am

Limerick just out now.

slick_rick88 · 26-05-2023 11:15am

Got my second preference of cork again! Got 821 placed! Holding out for Kerry again! And yes before a few people ask, I double checked it was for this year campaign after my mistake I made the other day on here without reading the entire message on public jobs page!

sim.jel · 26-05-2023 11:43am

Nothing yet for Louth and Meath.

How long can it take?

sim.jel · 26-05-2023 11:46am

I just got results, 103. Is that good or bad?

Joeface · 26-05-2023 12:00pm

I am me123 · 26-05-2023 12:06pm

Delighted with result! Placed OOM 148 for Co. Longford! 😊

Blondedoll · 26-05-2023 12:06pm

Got the same feedback for Donegal and Sligo. So much be all round feedback for all regions.

26-05-2023 12:11pm

Anyone else still waiting to hear back from Sligo?

Beebop20 · 26-05-2023 12:17pm

I would say that's good, I got 218 for meath, best of luck 👍

hairyslug · 26-05-2023 12:22pm

In the 300s in Wexford, no mention of my 2nd choice Wicklow

tritriagain · 26-05-2023 12:25pm

I'd love to know what answers people gave as I did the competition for nosiness sake (already an EO) . in my previous CO comp I was top 50 and in my EO I was top 3. I placed 450+ in this one but I genuinely wonder how they scaled the results on this because the assessment was practically non existent
