NEW 2022 Assistant Principal Competition - Open and Interdepartmental

Congrats! Yes I think once you’re cleared they offer you a role then. Can I ask are you the open or the inter panel? Are you the most recent batch 2.2?

Movement seems to be quiet on the open panel for batch 2.2 (September interviews). Has anyone on the open panel been called for clearance yet? I’m in the top 15 and haven’t heard from PAS. As we move into November, I wonder is a January 2024 start most likely?

That makes sense! Do you mind me asking where on the inter panel you were? Trying to figure out if they have many left to get through. The waiting is the worst!

I think so, but not sure.

I’m in the same boat. Hoping we might hear something from the Open panel this week or someone who’s near the top will tell us! I’m guessing they’re finished with batch 2.1 open, but no idea.

Does anyone know how many are on the Inter-D panel batch 2.2 from September? So is it the norm that PAS will go through the Inter-D panel first and then start on the Open panel? Didn't realise that, though it probably makes sense since some people will be on both lists.

Thanks Res, and best of luck with it!

Hi does anyone have any further update from PAS on these numbers? TIA

For Dublin it's at 1037 and above, shortlisting at 127 and over for November interviews. They plan to also interview a "small batch" in the new year at a lower short listing number. I was 95 and they indicated I would probably be included in the small batch.

I am scheduled for an interview on the 9th November next but I am for a provincal panel.

Im 9th too Dublin

Hello,

I am hoping to put in an application for the next one, whenever that will be.

Any tips on psychometric test providers to try for sample tests? Anyone have success in using a particular test provider?

Thanks

Do we know which departments they are hiring for in the 2.2. open batch?

Don't mean to take away from this thread and the ongoing AP competition but just to say that shortlisting results came out today for the AP Higher competition (where the top 160 ranked candidates after Stage 1 for this open competition were eligible). All potential placements are in the departments of Finance, Taoiseachs and DPENDR. Anyone with a score exceeding 112 is being called for the next stage (main interview) while others on scores below this are being called for interview in due course. Shortlisted but likely to have interview after Christmas. Best of luck to anyone still involved.

That's fantastic! Congratulations! Do you mind letting us know your number on the Open panel? Thanks.
