Clerical Offcier 2023 open for everywhere except Dublin - which has its own panel from last year
details below
Yes & if you get promoted to a higher grade you have to complete probation for the new grade again
It's hard to know. There is a lot of retirements recently and internal promotions. People will drop the panel too if they refuse am offer which could result in a panel going above 200 fir example.
Oh! My apologies…. Perhaps there are very few then.
Is it normal going into a permanent civil service CO role that there is initially a 12 month probationary contract?
Did you ever get your one for limerick?
That doesn't mean that there is 600 positions available. It would be the total amount of CO'S across the various bodies and departments
There’s a link in this thread way up and if you go into each county you can see
@SineadLB yes you would 100% have to interview again
Got 16 in Wexford. Anyone know if your already a TCO do you 100% have to interview again?
Where did you see that? I can't see there being that many available
Appears to be over 600 vacancies in Galway so you might be in with a shot!
Oh is 400 ish for galway, any chance of her getting the buzz before the panel os up ye reckon?
Ah that’s great, any luck I will get called for interview. How long after your interview did it take to get called for an interview? I sent back my preferences starting closest to where I lived and into the city as last (I hope this will be okay!).
what’s it like working in the CS? Are they flexible enough in terms of home working?
@burkemg thank you for that, did they offer you the increment option straight away with the job offer or did you have to ask for it and negotiate for it? 6 weeks 🙈 hopefully you’ll get back payed??
I think you'll be called for Galway 1st, but then theres a large dept of education in Westmeath so you never know! Last year around mid june I got called for interview for Galway at end of July, i was no 94. So you never know. One piece of advice though, when choosing your location if you want to keep out of the city, dont even put Galway as last choice. I did, 6th place, and the only options i got was galway city!!! Good luck!
Just in the process now. Im starting in DSP on june 19th and I'm just finished after 2 years in HSE grade 3. Same level. They sent an increment form and i had it completed and stamped by my previous section head . I immediately emailed it last week and got a reply saying it will be processed but there is currently a 6 week backlog. So be prepared to be patient 🙈
"How would you deal with a client crying over the counter at you in social welfare because you can't help them and a big queue behind her?"
Jez. How do they expect to answer that one? Seems tough.
Does anyone have any experience of transferring over their increments from public to civil service and if it was facilitated?
I’m the same I got one for Leitrim but still waiting on one for Longford (first preference)
I think they are sent out at different times.
Got a message on PJ for my preference in Clare (58) this morning. Haven't heard a tap from my first preference in Limerick (88) yet. 🤷♂️
Anyone know how high they go in oom in louth or meath? Sorry how long is a piece of string! Got 173 in one and 218 in the other. Thanks
I’m between 190-210 (I think) for Westmeath - hoping to be called
Does anybody know how high they went with OOM 2022 in Westmeath ? Just checking if 300s will be called.😪
What is your OOM if you don’t mind me asking? Do you have any indication of how many jobs are available? Thanks
Anyone know what the chances are in Galway being OOM 90-110? And 190-200 for Westmeath?
any links to interview practice Q and As?
Yes, for Galway.
They got rid of the clerical assessments during covid. They haven't been part of the last 3 panels.
The interviews however are tougher. Zoom alone makes it bad enough but the questions are more varied.
Eg how do you keep yourself motivated whilst doing the same task every day?
How would you deal with a client crying over the counter at you in social welfare because you can't help them and a big queue behind her?
About 300. Maybe higher. The early 200s were called in Jan for interview.
Last campaign they got to about 62 and stalled for ages. Seemed to be about 3 batches of 20 called. I've no idea what they reached after December though so they may hit 100.
Still waiting on result of first assement based in Cork, is ther anyone else still waiting?
