    Anyone here work with Dept of Education?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 vinaya


    hi I recently got an email saying it’s this position is for everyone


    that position is in central statistics office cork

    They are saying it’s urgent requirement and if I don’t accept it they would place me in the panel in the order of merit


    can anyone guide me as I may not go further as I stay in Dublin so will I be considered in the panel yet even if I don’t accept



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,266 ✭✭✭TaurenDruid


    Sorry, your post isn't very clear.

    Your best bet is to reply to the email and ask for clarification.

    I think what you're saying is you've been offered a position in the CSO's Cork office, but if you don't accept that, will you remain on the panel? I would imagine that's the case, but ask them to clarify. It certainly is the case if you put Dublin as your favoured work place when you applied.

    If you want to stay in Dublin then you need to either a) decline the offer and tell them you want to stay on the panel for Dublin (you said before you're 44th on the panel so would likely only be waiting a few weeks to a few months); or b) tell them you'll accept if you can work fully remotely (and if fully remote work would suit you) or do blended working (meaning you would have to commute to Cork one or two days a week).

    I received the message as well and from my understanding if you do not email to be considered for the position in the CSO, you will still remain on the panel



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 vinaya


    they mentioned that this post is for all people who are in that competition ID

    If we are interested, we need to reply but in case if we are not interested we should not email as they will consider we are not interested. That position is based in cork.


    they also emailed saying even if I don’t accept this position would still remain in the panel based on order of merit as this is urgent requirement.


    do you think asking for remote option in Dublin create confusion to them

    Ah, ok. I think if fully remote or lots of blended working was a possibility, they would have mentioned it in the email, especially if the post needs to be filled urgently.

    I therefore just wouldn't reply if you are happy to stay on the panel for Dublin.

    All of the questions you're asking - contact email address, pay rate - are covered in the information booklet you got before you applied.

    We can't know your projected take home pay because we don't know your situation or what tax credits you have.

    hi the other one which is for software developers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 Ash91


    In terms of location, I know the majority of roles offered would be in the dublin area but is there many other ict "hubs" outside of dublin that would be hiring for roles?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 vinaya


    can anyone share me the booklet please



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 361 ✭✭chancer007


    I emailed public jobs team and specified roles for Kildare/Carlow…..just wondering did anyone do the same & if they heard anything?

    Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 vinaya


    no



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 361 ✭✭chancer007


    Hi,

    I emailed pre-employment checks a couple of months ago stating a preference for Kildare. they said they would make a note on my file. How do you know if any positions are upcoming for Kildare?

    Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,266 ✭✭✭TaurenDruid


    Call PAS and ask? The only employing organisation I'm be aware of in Kildare, offhand, would be Defence, but I don't know how much of their ICT operation is civilian, if any.

    Hi ,

    I applied for the CSO EO ICT role that recently ran an open competition. I put down both the operations and networking /cyber stream in my application form . Can anybody body offer any insight with regards to technical questions asked at interview stage .

    Any info would be great. Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 vinaya


    my order of merit for the competition is 16 , before it was 20 in nov 1st week. in how many days we can expect mine to get the offer letter. when mu result came it was 44



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,266 ✭✭✭TaurenDruid


    So position 20 in first week, position 16 in fourth week, implying one person being taken off the panel per week, so 16 week's time will get you to number one. Maybe add a couple of weeks because Christmas.

    Or, phone PAS. They will have a much better idea.
