Irish Rail Jobs Discussion

N/A

Hi all. Did the phase one tests in inchicore yesterday morning and got an email in afternoon to say Id got through to phase 2 . Tests are next week,not too worried about the tests themselves but am worried about the pre-interview form,is there many questions in this ? And what sort of questions? Thanks

Yeah think it went alright. Heard someone say should here early January about the next stage.

Best of luck.

It's an indication that you might, no guarantee

The answers you give on the 16pf are analysed, and if deemed suitable, you are then invited to an interview which will be based on the answers you provide in the 16pf, it is a very indepth interview, so those of you who do get the call for an interview, be prepared.

I got past the 16pf and it's interview, earlier this year, then the line manager interview and medical in March this year, I received an email looking for my CIE staff number earlier, ( I work for another group under the CIE dome) then getting restless, I contacted HR in mid November, and the reply was that my application is still live, and thanks for my continued patience, it is indeed a long road.

I've gotten an invite for the 16PF interview!

Any tips? I know a lot of it is based on the answers given in the questionnaire and the pre-interview form but I'm drawing a blur as to what I put down or what was asked.

Good luck to anyone else who was called in

I just finished the 16PF interview. Was brutal tbh, a lot of questions about what you feel and why do you think you feel that way in regards to your personality.

Gave it my best shot anyway, be surprised if I make it to the final round of interviews. Had to make up an example that I wasn't fully prepared to go over.

Best of luck to anyone here doing it

Also recruiting for skilled craftworker.

Hi mate, where did you hear about Nationwide on the 9th of Feb? Sadly didnt get past the second interview stage last year and debating weather to try again. But I have since heard that they were to hard on candidates at the interview stage last year and the required number wasnt met as a lot didnt get pass the second interview. So seemly have relaxed a bit. As it was always the case the exams were the hardest part. So this has me thinking to go again.

As my interview went on for an hour and 50 mins when it was only meant to be 50 mins.

To be honest mate I dont think I would of answered the questions any different! I have 2 mates who work on the tracks one is a trainer of the machines that move the tracks and I told them the questions and answers I gave and both taught I 100% had it and were shocked that I didnt pass. Hence why I actually believe the above, who I heard from a toldly different source in Irish Rail.

I went a second time and this time passed all the tests, interviews and medical, but still waiting on that elusive call for regional class🤪 so definitely try again if that's what you want.

Looks like line manager interviews are being rolled out for Feb, got one myself.

Best of luck to anyone involved, and feel free to share tips if possible 😉

Not this recruitment I applied last year
