thats pretty much it. once you register with publicjobs, you then register your interest in the job by setting a job alert for the guards and then wait for an email. this will contain a phone no. to call to book an aptitude test.

just wait now for the email to ask you to apply. all you have done is shown interest in the job..

I know it has been years ago at this stage, but can anyone shine any light on like the time of the day they send out the emails - just curious cos in work from early morning to evening and wouldnt like to miss it completely...

thelongwait · 23-06-2010 07:06PM

it was mid day as i remember it. the way it used to work was your publicjobs acc was linked to your mobile no. so you got a text as soon as you got a message, you have a few days then to reply so you couldnt really miss anything. i'm sure its still the same.

shakin · 23-06-2010 07:09PM

ya it was around midday, if you can keep checking it regularly and ring straight away!

hurler_87 · 23-06-2010 07:52PM

sound lads - computer in work is blocked from the internet - so would hate to think that I missed a chance just cos I couldnt get to my email...

bk1991 · 24-06-2010 12:11AM

shurely u have some time from email sent ?

thelongwait · 25-06-2010 10:45AM

as far as i remember you have a few days to ring the no they email to you. but i would advise you to call it as soon as you get it because they give you a choice as to when you want to the aptitude test. eg they'll say there on monday to friday, morning and evening, and you pick what ever time suits you. the later you leave it to call the more chance there is of them just giving you a time and no choice.

Could happen any day now,
I heard July it will be up and running. You'll be suprised at how quickly everything happens......and then the wait comes....ie background checks.
Just make sure your prepared for it all. Dont take any cances.
Quicker you respond to them the quicker you'll get aptitide and higher batch you'll be in

alrite lads,

just a quick question re publicjobs registration. I have an account and a job alert set up for a while, prior to the announcement of the new recruitment drive. Is this definitely sufficient despite having registered before the recent announcement, or does a new job alert have to be set up or anything??

thanks in advance:)

Hi folks.

I registered on publicjobs quite some time ago (2 years ago but I couldn't make the aptitude test for the last drive due to unforseen circumstances) and set a job alert for the Gardaí. I check my e-mail every day and haven't received any notification of the upcoming drive. I've also been chekcing that my alert is still active, whiich it is, so that's not the problem.

I went on to publicjobs.ie and the Garda Trainee 2010 seems to be gone from their featured jobs, and a search only turns up Garda Reserve.

Have I missed something here? Have they stopped taking declarations of interest on publicjobs, or have they started the drive and I've missed the boat again?

Thanks guys, any help is much appreciated.

Hi Pedro K,
No you haven't missed anything, no campaign started yet. The notice has been moved from that section of the public jobs website, and some people are starting to think that maybe thats a sign of something about to happenbut then again, everything is speculation at this stage. Once you have registered with public jobs, it's just a game of sitting back and waiting (yes, more waiting!! )for that famous email!

Did you re-register with them about 6 onths ago. I've had my interest registered for about a year and a half now. I received an email about 6 months ago to re-register my interest as they were changing around the website or something like. Just to let you know about that in case you didn't re-register.

Don't worry though , they haven't started anything yet though.

Stage1 is made up of 3tests
1) Skills Experience - Question about the kind of person you are.

2) Analytical Reasoning - your given a sequence of shapes and you must say whats next.

3) Job Simulation Exercise - Your given a situation you might encounter as a garda and you most decide what your course of action is.

All 3 sections are multiple choice, sounds easy -its NOT. i can only advise you to be prepared. there'll be alot more people than usual doing it.

Use google to find some courses and check them out.
