2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

Anybody know where they are on oom for Eo interviews?

Wicklow hasn’t moved a sliver for both internal and open since October .. not a single mm .. really hoping we are due an internal competition soon as I’m seriously loosing the will to live ..

Since I entered this comp, was promoted internally to EO and HEO…moves at glacial pace for those outside Dublin.

That gives me hope haha, I want to get HEO

Got results last August for Waterford and no move since, still oom 3 for open and Interdepartmental.....any others on here waiting for Waterford also??

does anyone know what pre-employment checks entail? Do they ask for a reference before they actually tell you which Department you’ll be assigned? I’m reluctant to ask my manager for a reference which will let them know I’m wanting to leave without knowing exactly where I’m going! 🙈

I've emailed PAS for an update on Waterford.....called all candidates up to and including batch 6 so due to call from batch 7 when positions are available...as stated previously moving at snails pace unfortunately

You will be asked to provide details of references and PAS will contact them prior to any offer being made. I believe the wording they use is “your are under consideration….” and assuming all is well with your clearance checks you’ll be offered the position.

Edit: you won’t be told where your department is until you get your notification of assignment, after clearance.

Hi PAS confirmed with me this panel closes June2024

I got eo last June, started on scale 4 does anyone know if I'll skip any scales like you did on co?

If an internal comps comes up do you do all the usual aptitude tests ?

Yes, PAS sent out multiple emails this week for expression of interest for interview in various Counties.

It's a strange system that makes zero sense. You don't even get the chance to progress to potential interview for what could be your number 1 location. You can see how OOM can drop a few places all of a shot due to people who have to pull out of one location if they take an "expression of intense" for an interview. No guarantee of even getting an interview even!

hi, what oom around are you for Louth?

I’m over 60 Só probably not this panel

Thank you
