2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

hope so as im only a few away from interdepartmental and less than 20 places off the open

I’m on the panel for my location after passing my interview and I’m next to be called should any new vacancies be logged for my current location. I’m anxious at the way this is phrased, “should” any new vacancies come up. Does anyone have an experience where they were next to be placed, but lucked out because the panel closed? I’m anxious as this panel is closing soon and I’ll be so annoyed having gone through the process and the interview only to luck out on the timing like surely they have to call if I’ve made it this far 🙈

Any recommendations for coaches that would help with interviews?

I’m currently going through pre employment checks at the moment, but not 100% sure I want to take this position. Deciding factor will mainly be what department I’m assigned! Do they give an option to decline, or is it a bit of a pickle if I am assigned somewhere and I decide to decline it?

What area are you in if you don't mind sharing??

Internal DSP EO circulated today

only DSP - annoyingly competition closing date is 1 day before my 2 years is up as a CO - ah well

I was very taken aback by this for internal

no doesn’t count - started as TCO 1 day after the closing date - ie 20th June 22 - hopefully an open competition comes up, also there are plenty of retirements coming up soon in the office that am based in

thanks - checked it out with HR/PAS yesterday and they said no, however spoke with my AP who said to apply so just applied there - enjoy the job that am currently in to be fair

Hi, I had interview and was offered Drogheda, I declined as I had put Dundalk and Ardee as my preferences (they had asked for preferences after interview was passed, I also had to send a copy of qualifications, hopefully get offered something before panel closes in Sept

Received an update through PAS on message board to say the competition has been extended until 27/09/2024.

I didn’t get that but I’m 18 off Louth and it’s only at 50 in 2 years.

I know it's all hindsight but with WFH, I know a good few who selected Dublin on the EO panel and have been placed pretty easily. They will end up commutting 1 or 2 days per week but at least in an EO role and can start applying for mobility and the next EO panel too. Some counties, people have been stuck on number 1 or 2 OOM for shy of a year and nothing moving.

How do you know a new competition is about to start?
