Administrative Officer Competition 2024

Yes, reading back over some recent posts on this thread, it seems some people were contacted & offered an opportunity to express interest in a Revenue role. I'm not sure how this was determined, perhaps based on OOM or location, etc. I haven't received any contact to date..

does anyone know if there has been further movement in Dublin?

What number are you approximately Rubyjean

Hi guys,

I had my interview on the 27th January. Got the results on Feb 7 and I’m OOM 5 in my batch. They asked for my certificates and transcripts already.

Any experiences on timelines? I might have another job offer soon, but I really wanted to accept the AO. I really don’t know what to do.

Results for last weeks interviews are out

As of yesterday, they reached an OOM of 124 on the panel. If results from that batch called the last week of January are out as per above I imagine based on previous years a group will be called next week and presumably another batch in a little over a month's time.

The advice you got is spot on but I would add that I found the interview board lovely! It was intense and they move you through the questions very quickly but there’s no trick questions, they are very clear about what they’re asking and they were kind and friendly. They kept telling me to take water breaks while they spoke! All in all, a very positive experience despite the intensity of it. Happy with my result today too.

FYI there is another AO competition just gone live on Public Jobs for AO: https://www.publicjobs.ie/en/?option=com_jobsearch&view=jobdetails&cid=200259&campaignId=2526501&Itemid=263

Be worth applying…
On this occasion, publicjobs is looking for people with the potential to take on high level responsibilities in the management of public services and the analysis of public policy issues who possess particular qualifications, skills and capability in the following areas:

1. Human Resources

2. Finance Policy

3. Energy, Environment and Climate

4. Health Policy Analyst

Great minds think alike! But yes this does seem strange not to include law graduates (unless a separate competition will open), especially as there will be roles required in Garda Civilian Positions.

It could just be the time of year, this week was mid term and a lot of staff took some or all off. Also, our annual holidays run 1st April to 31st March so a lot of staff are taking random days off now because come the second week of March people are scrambling to take time off. Don't worry, you'll get there : ) Be great to hear where you're going.

Does it seem likely that there will be another batched called? I’m in the 160s so I should be in the next one if they do decide to call more. However they seem to be very slow placing people so it making me feel doubtful that I’d be called.

I know I’m the same. I’m in this competition and the eo one currently and waiting is killing me. Feels like I can’t plan anything nice just in case I get called.

Has anyone in batch 2 heard anything since the skills matching? Any progress either for those in batch 1 waiting for assignment?

Same here, I'm in the 190s OOM and no word yet on interview. Considering first batch was 79 and last batch was 50 I reckon there's a good chance it'll be the batch after next for me so hoping to hear word in 3-4 months if I'd to make a guess

I'd like to think, it'll be quicker. I'm just behind you and going by previous years, it should be.
