Its a lottery so folks - best of luck but I have to say I giving up hearing that only 10 will be taken on. Surely 10 peope out of 100 will have a family connection to the company....oh well

Was thinking that myself, hopefully get an interview anyway. Good luck to everyone.

To be honest I thought at this stage they weren't taking people on, so small bit of hope if they're interviewing 300!

esb told me in email this morning.
"We will be advising all candidates of the outcomes over the next 3-4 weeks."

Young Friel · 21-06-2011 02:12PM

donegal2011 · 21-06-2011 02:19PM

Young Friel · 21-06-2011 02:23PM

Grannie Annie · 21-06-2011 02:46PM

Young Friel, you appear very confident! Did anyone else receive an email? My son didn't!!! So what is the conclusion!!!???

Young Friel · 21-06-2011 02:50PM

Am not confident, I just wanna no when we'll find out bout the interview!!!

Grannie Annie · 21-06-2011 03:16PM

Did he get a letter?

Grannie Annie · 21-06-2011 05:15PM

How and when was he notified of his interview? Where is head office?

Grannie Annie · 22-06-2011 08:59AM

Bassey, would you mind asking your friend when and how he was notified about his interview please?

mcon1 · 22-06-2011 03:28PM

Got a letter this morning....interview is Monday in Dublin, had me in good form going into me last exam for the leaving cert anyway!
It says that the issues discussed will be teamwork and achieving your goals, also i know that safety is very important in the esb.
Anybody have any other ideas or tips about what i should discuss in the interview, sort of nervous for it as it is my first interview??

Anyone hear anything? Still nothing here, so I'm not holding out much hope!

osullic · 24-06-2011 11:57AM

Still nothing here,I'm in Tipperary so if there is anyone that's heard something from this part of the country let me know.If i haven't heard anything by Monday its fairly certain I didn't get through.

HoggyRS · 24-06-2011 01:41PM

Heard nothing, not meant to be I suppose!

Good luck to all who got interviews!

J.R. Ewing · 25-06-2011 08:51AM

Got a letter from ESB confirming interview for next thursday, bit nervous haven't had interview for bout 11 years. Don't like the sound of those odds 30-1, thought there were 100 places with 500 making interviews. Fingers crossed!

J.R. Ewing · 25-06-2011 08:52AM

I'm from Tipp, got my letter last Tuesday.

yew_tree · 25-06-2011 01:30PM

Anybody from the west or connacht to be more specific get letters yet?

Grannie Annie · 27-06-2011 01:03PM

No letter for my son so far, so I supose he's out of the running! Very disappointed!! Sure I suppose he can try again next year.

Good luck to all who have interviews. Come back with some feed back and info on the line of discussion.

Grannie Annie · 28-06-2011 03:41PM
