Higher Executive Officer 2024

I agree that once you've a date set for interview, it would be very difficult to get them.to change it. But when you do get called for interview, they ask if there are any dates you are not available and they do try and work around that. So telling them you aren't available at this point is not going to affect your chances of being called.

In all probability, they will just ignore stuff like this until they know who they are going to call for interview. As you said, we are just data at this stage. Again, why would you be bothered contacting PAS with when you aren't available for interview if you don't even know you will be called for interview. Talk about jumping the gun 😄

I didn't say it did. PAS will take no notice of that and rightfully so.

This thread is becoming toxic you all just need to wait until the next stage if any of us get called in short listings and go from there.

I agree, I think the process is sometimes too long and people are anxious because they would really love the positions,

Fair play to everyone for even going for it because it’s a tough time financially for people and realistically we all want this only to allow for us to live more comfortably and provide for everyone at home and that’s admirable.

I hope you all are successful and get the opportunity to move up in your career and to ease the burden today’s economy puts on us all and for all the various other reasons you individually have :)

My money is on tomorrow, afternoon time for results😂 well done though, fabulous result

Stressful waiting so long for these competitions.

Just as an FYI for anyone who gets an email saying they didn’t make the next stage after shortlisting based off their form, it may be worth appealing the decision. My husband is currently partaking in another competition which is using the new framework and web based form. He got an email saying his form didn’t display enough evidence of a particular competency under one of the essential criteria. He appealed it as he was certain he did. They subsequently reviewed his form and he was reinstated in to the competition.
Human error in assessing the form could have cost him his place. So just be mindful of that when you get results

In my experience of the 2022 comp there was no message to say that shortlisting had commenced, only the following message through my public jobs account:

'I refer to Stage 2 Shortlisting for the above named competition. I regret to inform you that you were not successful on this occasion.

A shortlisting board was set up by the Public Appointments Service where they examined and assessed the applications received against the agreed shortlisting criteria.  

In order to be deemed successful, you were required to reach the qualifying standard in each area. '

I think the results will be tomorrow

I think that is part of the whole experience at this stage!! The test of endurance 😂😂

They haven't and at 1400 she could be waiting a while 🙈

Also for those outside of Dublin, prepare to wait even longer. From the last competition thread I believe it was November before other counties began getting their applications reviewed and even later for some of the counties with less opportunities.

I'm in a county where I'd be surprised to hear anything before Christmas so I'm putting it out of my head for now.

Last time there was a panel in place outside Dublin, I believe there is currently no panels in place so I would expect it to be quicker

I just got shortlisting results, outside Dublin. I was successful thankfully went from no 2 in my county to no 1 now

I was shortlisted, no 4 in my chosen county (not Dublin).
