    @pygmaliondreams @PmMeUrDogs thank you for that, do you think I should I tell my manager about the interview or just leave it and wait until I hopefully pass the interview? Sorry for so many questions just feeling a bit lost 😅

    Go off whether they're sound or not I suppose, mine gave me some room during the day to go to my interview so I didn't need to waste leave but that's probably not standard.

    If they seem kind of rude you can wait until after but you will need them to fill out a reference if you do pass the interview stage even if you're only there a short while

    they might be able to give you help and direction if you tell them. I’ve always found CS v supportive and encouraging to people to advance

    No idea if it's standard or not but people I know working in CS were all given paid time off to attend CS interviews. Dunno if that's a sound line manager or an entitlement though!

    Definitely an entitlement, it’s an option when updating clocks. You just need to provide proof of interview.

    Hey I'm looking for some feedback please. I've passed the interview but I'm unsure whether or not to take the job. I love my department and don't really want to move. I'm looking for feedback on location, role etc. Anybody have any feedback please?

    Hi all,


    Not directly related to this competition but I don’t want to begin a new topic just for one question. I was wondering if anyone has any information on working in the International Protection Office?


    I applied for an EO role recently as I wanted a change after from my current department after a decade there but am second guessing it now and am just looking for a bit of reassurance.


    Thanks

    First of all, congratulations to everybody successful in this competition, good luck to those in the interview process and the ones that did not make it in this competition, do not give up!

    For those who have already started from this competition, how long did it take to hear back from Staffline? I handed my documents/references to Staffline over 2 weeks ago, but have not heard anything from them yet.

    Don't want to be chasing them, but also don't want to feel I have been forgotten.

    Thanks in advance!

    My situation would mirror yours.

    I've yet to speak with my referees but apparently after they've been contacted and replied with a reference, DCEDIY HR will be in touch thereafter with Garda Vetting and other docs to be completed.

    Thanks for that! The thing is that I didn't even get an acknowledgement from Staffline and my referees haven't heard from them yet.

    So now I wonder if I should send them an email to confirm they received my info. I know they are doing interviews until today, so maybe it should be the right time to send them another email.

    Thanks again!

    It could well be that they're waiting for all interviews to be done and dusted, so that new EO's then do their induction etc en masse.

    I've sent you a PM on it there now.

    I'm in the same situation. I sent everything off 3 weeks ago and have not heard anything back. My references haven't heard anything either. I'm wondering when I'll possibly be starting.

    I'd say it is what Lemon Davis III said up there. They were doing interviews this whole week, so they might reach out to everybody all together, and I'd assume everyone will have the same starting date too. Hopefully we will hear from them in the next couple of weeks.
