Clerical Positions in the Civil and Public Service

OK, I've now gotten the 3 emails in (last one just came so they are still sending them - probably automated)

Total Score: 301
Dublin Region: Placed 343 - called to Stage 2
Cork Region: Placed 92 - we'll get in touch if your place is reached and call you to Stage 2
Meath/Louth: Placed 81 - we'll get in touch if your place is reached and call you to Stage 2

I presume if you don't get called to Stage 2 now it's very unlikely that you will in the future unless everyone else drops out.

It's really a numbers game - Dublin and other urban centres have more jobs so higher numbers of people will be called.

On the plus side this rankings are just a way of selecting people for the supervised tests. Then we'll be selected based on those for sending in a CV. Then they select based on that for interview. I've done this before so will be surprised if it doesn't follow along those lines.

I got 66 on the numerical testing (qualifying mark was 37) and thought I did very badly due to the time given.

cheers Pawnee, still have a thread of hope so!

Scored 252 and placed in the early 800's in my area, yah.

RoadhouseBlues · 28-08-2014 04:57PM

My score is very low but apparently I'm through.

Total score: 217

My place:
Longford/Leitrim/Sligo 1714
Donegal 812
Mayo/Roscommon 1312

I wont hold my breath:-):-).

Someone asked did anyone get through who thought they did bad on the maths. I thought I was gone. I got 47 on the maths if that's any help.

Wonder if notification does by when you did the test? I did mine about two hours before the deadline.

francozola · 28-08-2014 04:58PM

Should I receive 3 emails for the three different areas I selected?

I picked three but only realised the message I received is for one of the areas I choose.

wiseup42 · 28-08-2014 04:58PM

Just thinking about all the people who applied with the 'help' of a friend online -- the supervised tests will knock that one on the head!

3fullback · 28-08-2014 04:59PM

Did anyone get a call to stage 2 outside of Dublin ?

Yeah you will but there was a gap of 3 hours between my first and last email

I think somebody back the thread said they did for Cork and Limerick alright.

I'd imagine the jobs in most counties are in the low teens or even under 10.

I saw that but I would like to clarify if they actually were invited or just got the when vacancies arise message.

Tarzana · 28-08-2014 05:05PM

OK, that's enough checking and refreshing for one evening!

Hopefully we'll get word tomorrow.

yenom · 28-08-2014 05:06PM

Got 256, placed in the 700s for Cork. Not a hope will I be called. All the best to everyone else.

I don't understand this at all. 110 out of 20. Buh? Oh, is it right to wrong? Like 110 right, 20 wrong?

20 is the pass mark.

green and yellow · 28-08-2014 05:28PM

I seem to be in top 20 in Donegal but it's a 'should vacancies arise' message I got.

Same here Dre, but they tend to leave the best to last...

Just checked my message board got word at 18:22 was begining to think I would not hear anything. Passed stage one but am placed 1315 for the Kildare/Wicklow area. I also applied to Waterford and possibly Dublin. Will I hear back about these?

So there is still plenty of time for people to hear their results even later on today

Well, they're clearly saving the best til last. I obvs came first in Dublin, OBVS.

:pac::pac::pac:

OMG, just a thought, imagine actually being the person that comes first in your region? You'd be all 'Fúck yea'. :pac:

Placed 1100, so still just a reserve, like the TCO. Meh. 887 was the cut off.
