Got called to a Case Study exam next week in Dublin.

If Anyone has done one of these before they might let me know what type of thing I can expect..

Cheers

CoolroeMan can i ask what day you've been called? I got called for Monday but it looks like i won't be able to make it.

Hoping its not the only day they're doing it.

CoolroeMan

I'm on Monday morning also. I know one other who's up at the same time.

I'm Monday afternoon, would love to know what to expect from the case study

I am on Tuesday afternoon. I rang publicjobs too and they said there is nothing else they can tell me/us about the exam.

Surely it will be accountancy/finance based though or what do you think? Like is there a need to brush up on ratios and formulas etc.? I am a little out of practice so am a little concerned.....

Wouldn´t imagine it will be too taxing but i suppose it wouldn´t hurt to brush up.

What time do the afternoon sessions start?

Mine is at 13.45 on the Tuesday. I am sure if you give them a shout they will let ya swap

Well I was thinking if they are using it as part of the process to trim down numbers it will surely be a little challenging?

Has anyone had any information on what case study may be on? Can't imagine auditing standards been examined. I'm in on Monday afternoon.

Anyone hear how today's tests went then?

Very accountancy/auditing heavy or more just general business?!

How did everyone get on yesterday?

Well, that was pretty fekkin tough. Well not even THAT tough but just very very tight on time

Made it to interview. Must have done better than i thought.

Crap - I haven't heard a thing

Kinda knew I wouldn't but still....

How did they inform you?

Just checked my publicjobs account and I did indeed get called! I am a happy wemmet again

Egghead12

Ive been called for interview too.

They emailed to the public jobs.

Poles

Got through also.

I wonder are they interviewing all who did the case study. Hmm

Egghead12

No don't think so. I know two people took the case study but didn't get called for interview.

Got called to the interview aswell. For anyone who did not get an e-mail message just log into the Public Jobs portal and check your messages to verify your results from the case study

Got the call myself.

So some didn't? Thought they might call the lot in. Well commiserations to those who didn't make it to the interview stage this time, and congrats to those who did.

Has anyone else completed the form yet? It takes a fair amount of time.....

Not yet been a bit busy. Had a brief glance through it and i did one like it before. Fairly exhaustive alright.

That is what I thought, same as the one for AO role like

But there is a load more stuff about skills/competencies in it that I didn't see initially

Yes, at the bottom. You have to fill it ALL in. (it says make sure you complete part 2 or something, which is the competencies etc.)

Oh so nearly finished that bloody form....

all quiet on the Eastern Front.

Almost too quiet....

Just had my interview, was pretty tough! Wouldn't be feeling too confident

Has anyone else had theirs yet?

Poles

Had my interview last week.
It went OK but thought it was tough enough.
They mentioned we might hear by Friday.
