    I didn't see a thread for this one : https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/careers/career-opportunities.aspx

    I wonder if anyone has any tips for filling out the application for this? This is my first time applying for a CS role as I've been in the private sector up until now.

    It's the personal statement and tech skills sections that's confusing me - I've read NOT to use STAR examples in the personal statement… I've tried to give high level examples that meet the person specifications and objectives. Do I use it in the Tech Skills or is that just for the interview ie have examples ready if I get that far? Am I doomed if the application form is confusing me?! I think I'm just over-thinking it but don't want to mess it up😅

    I'm currently filling this out myself. You only have to answer the personal statement and one of the others since this competition is for 3 separate roles. I'm doing it for data analytics only so I'm answer question 1 and question 4 since the other 2 don't apply to me.

    You just have to give examples using the competencies listed in the booklet. It's not as bad as it looks, the interview will use your answers and ask you to expand on that but it's good to have another example ready that you haven't written down. Check out the EO in TAC thread for more info, the application was similar :)

    Thanks I’ll take a look. I’m coming from an infrastructure background but would love to pivot over to analytics so going to fill that one in too.
