    Not a peep, i'm expecting to hear something by Friday at the latest going by what they told us at the assessment centre. Heart skips a beat every time the phone rings/I get an email.

    Best of luck everyone.

    They said we would hear within the next 2 weeks when I was at the assessment so not really expecting to hear anything until next week myself.

    Thought it was just Cork or Dublin - and you say which you're applying for at the beginning?

    I applied for cork. Got offered dublin. Apparently its a panel and where ever your on the panel is where you ll be offered. Not sure is dublin or cork first on the panel fillment. I looked for feedback to find where i placed

    When you applied did you tick the box that you were interested in both Cork and Dublin?

    Did they give you much feedback as to when the fullfillment would be taking place for Cork?

    I wonder why they offered Dublin to you then id you stated just Cork on the application form?

    Was it e-mail of phone they contacted you by?

    Sorry for all the questions, on edge here waiting.

    I wouldn't necesarily say that's the case.

    Of all the people who went for interview only one person has had any subsequent contact.

    Will have to wait and see I would think.

    Same situation here; not heard anything yet. I don't know though, not sure my assessment day went all that well.

    Only one person *on this thread* has had any subsequent contact, that's only a handful of people out of 48. Who knows how many others have been contacted.

    I'll try and maintain some optimism, though and I certainly prefer your interpretation.

    There are alot of people on this thread who have commented, I'd be interested to know how many have heard anything back

    I still think its all to play for. I turned it down cause it was in dublin but im hoping against hope they ll come back to me with cork. Until i hear a full out rejection im staying positive. Everyone else should too

    Oh fair points, Nidot and Roger Careful Pussycat, it's better to stay positive. I was just thinking that others must have been contacted but either haven't checked in here or don't even know the thread exists (The group I was with were entirely unaware)

    And roe cat, 3 weeks today for me. Staying positive but kind of want to know one way or the other now really.

    Would it fair to assume that everyone commenting on this thread applied for Cork???

    Certainly true for me. I'd take either though!

    I've been holding back on posting here (didn't want to jinx anything til I got something in writing) but suppose I can give an update now cause I know how frustrating it was to be waiting for a call/email. I got a call last Friday and was offered a post in Cork. Delighted and will be accepting.

    @Roger Careful Pussycat: From what you've been saying here, and I may be wrong, it seems to me you were not offered a position/post but only a place on the panel for Dublin? As I understand panels you will be on standby should additional roles come up in the future or someone in the post moves on.

    To all the others, I can only say best of luck and hope it works out.

    Thanks for the information bluethunder, hopefully it works well for you, well done.

    That does seem to suggest that I get a move on looking elsewhere though.
