    @Maripepe some areas you can do blended, it's usually 2 days from home and 3 in the office. It really depends on the area you will be assigned to. It might be possible in finance, hr but not in the likes of PEMS. Hope this helps.

    I also got told they are working through a backlog. No time line given, I'm currently waiting 9 weeks. Still on C.O pay, year 1 😞

    I would have thought:

    A) You COULD turn down internal offer and wait for the open as it is a completely separate competition

    B) Accept the EO in your current dept and then accept another EO role on the open


    OR can you accept EO in your current role and immediately go on mobility? You probably have to stay two years in the EO role but maybe not?

    Completely agree. It just seems so wasteful to not want to put relevant skills and experience people have built up to use. Surely the civil service overall would be better for that. In other public service job panels people when posts come up candidates get to bid on them and then allocated according to OOM. I'm sure that system isn't perfect either, but at least that way you might ensure candidates have a bit of motivation for/interest in the role. Kind of fascinated that the civil service might be a big body of workers in which an unknown proportion are mis-matched in their jobs. I was hoping for one department aligned to my education and career history, and expressed a preference to PAS but have been assigned to a (very) different one. It also seems fairly bonkers I couldn't find out what the actual role was before accepting it or not. Is that the same for everyone? I'm going to accept it anyway because my current job is basically a zero hours contract. Fingers crossed for a good team and manager which always help, eh?!

    Has anyone ever asked PAS how they arrive at their allocation decisions? I find them a bit difficult to deal with. I don't think they like being questioned.

    I am currently in AGS and no WFH, depends on the office, if it was shift work he would be told so. Hope this helps.

    Hi Folks,


    I've my interview tomorrow & have two examples lined up for each competency. I've also had a look at the renewal plan. Anything else you think I should consider going over last minute?


    Thanks.

    Just spotted that .. so does that mean they have cleared the current Dublin one ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20 user1250


    Hi 🙂

    I’m currently going through reference check etc does that mean once the nee competition opens if I haven’t been place I’m off the panel?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 102 ✭✭Ahshurlookit


    I'm fairly certain the Dublin panel will be exhausted before a new panel forms. Even with a competition opening on Friday, it'll be at least 3 months before a panel is formed. Probably 3 weeks to submit applications, then at least a week before aptitude test window which will be another week. At least a fortnight before results are announced and the probably 2 weeks notice of interview dates. The interviews probably go on for 2 to 3 weeks and then another couple of weeks before results are released. And all the above are conservative estimates, each stage could take longer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 983 ✭✭✭furrybones


    If you're going through reference checks you are most likely being considered for a position. You will be placed from the panel before it ends.

    Where did you see this about a new EO competition



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭raheny red




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34 Sunshine_21


    I see there is a new EO competition starting for Dublin. Does anyone know or think that if you were to get through all stages of the competition would there be any option of changing county or letting your own HR dept know you made panel?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 molly1523


    No if it’s for Dublin, jobs will only be offered for dublin if successful. You would have to accept it and wait for mobility if you wanted to move county’s from that job.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34 Sunshine_21


    Thanks for the reply. It was wishful thinking on my part. I'm currently waiting to be called for interview, it's just a long process for people outside Dublin.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 477 ✭✭skidmarkoner


    Way too long 😅

    Does anyone know if COs have blended working in the Dept.Of Education? If so, how many days WFH? Also, is it straight away or do you have to see out your full 1 years probation to get it? Thank you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 398 ✭✭pygmaliondreams


    I'm gonna apply for the new competition tomorrow, does anyone know if my Level 5 PLC will be accepted? It is in office administration and I have 8 distinctions.

    I got 4 H4s and up in my LC but the other 3 are H5 :(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 127 ✭✭Mr lebowski


    I had a level 5 FETAC course that qualified me. I was unsure and nervous about it but it was approved and I got the go ahead thankfully. So if that's the same level as that yours you will be fine.

    Hi Everyone, i passed the EO and received a message that i have been assigned to National Parks and Wildlife Service, i believe its under the Dept of Housing and Heritage.

    Anyone know is there blended working? The Dept i am currently in has blended working.

    Cheers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 Help_Dubai


    It seems to be just a brief application at this stage? The full competency examples application must only be required if you score high enough in the aptitude tests and are invited to interview? Makes sense I guess, not wasting applicants or public jobs time with applications that don’t progress.

    Anyone know is Cork panel moving over the summer? Was at 48 a few weeks ago… thanks!

    Hi

    I recently got placed to the office of revenue commissioners does anyone know anything about their wfh, flexi etc.

    Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 983 ✭✭✭furrybones


    I believe Revenue is 1 day in the office, but only after 9 months training - which is 5 days in the office.
