    Yes just got that update. I didn't think the e-tray results would take that long unfortunately



  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭Strawberry66


    The results for the last e-tray I did in the 2019 competition took 3 months. Won't be holding my breath this time!!



  • Registered Users Posts: 569 ✭✭✭Dublintigger


    It doesn't give us much time to get placed if we are successful.

    I wonder if the end date of this competition has been extended too - does anyone know?



  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭Mr lebowski


    When is it due to end? Did I read on here July?

    I had my interview this week and was told I would get my results within 10 working days.

    Any other curve ball interview questions? 🙈



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 moonunit90


    I think the main thing is to expect to be interrupted and give a different example. That can really throw you. Another question I got was “what if you were given a message to pass on to your team that you disagreed with” aka would you sugarcoat it etc

    For anyone that was called to the E-tray in Dublin recently could I ask what your original OOM was before doing the E-Tray?

    When I was asked about whether my integrity was questioned I replied no, it was never questioned although if I was implementing a change in procedures I made sure my staff knew the reasons for change and ask them for feedback. They want to hear that you have good communication with your staff.

    I interviewed last week and was told at the end of the interview, my results will be about 4 weeks. I hope it’s the 10 days mark, the waiting is the worst.


    To those asking about number reached before e-tray, I have a friend just completed e-tray this week at OOM approx 2800.

    Hi all when will results be if interviewed today?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 raelia


    Just got my email to say I was successful and I'm on the panel



  • Registered Users Posts: 8 BallyA


    Same here, I’m delighted! I’m surprised how big of jump the oom number was after the interview



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Aimhigh22


    Same here, just found out today. Interview was the 23rd Feb!



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 Aimhigh22


    I was sure I didn't do well in the interview and they said it would be 4 weeks u til I got word but 8 days later I got it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Beel


    Did my interview recently and still waiting to hear back. If I'm successful, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are supports while I'm still breastfeeding. I'm also getting married in June so will it be too soon to book time off? Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 128 ✭✭acawarrior




  • Registered Users Posts: 5 odracir


    Well done.

    Same here, I got my Open Stream number on that message.

    Would I be right to assume that that number is my place on the queue for an appointment?

    P.S.: I had my interview last Friday (25th).

    Best of luck everyone!

    You can apply for a reduction of your daily working hours by 1 hour until your child is 2 years old. This hour can be taken either at start or end of day or as numerous pump breaks throughout the day

    Hi guys,


    Got my interview results for EO 2020 in Dublin today. Placed 106. If that was Cork or another city I'd kiss it goodbye, but what do ye reckon for Dublin? Competition is open until June I believe. Good chance of getting called?



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Sixofone


    The rate of placement varies a lot. It can be as high as 40-50 a month or a good bit lower than that, depending on demand. I'd say your chances of being called are pretty decent. Also bear in mind that not every offer will be accepted and as they just move on to the next person on the list it can move quite quickly.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,450 ✭✭✭SouthWesterly


    Has there been any movement on kerry?



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 Peter O Reardon


    Thanks for getting back to me man. I appreciate that a lot. Put my mind at ease somewhat there so you have. The waiting is the worst part! All the best!



  • Registered Users Posts: 16 rose1010101


    I would also say the fact that they’ve just ran another E-Tray is quite promising as well, hopefully the positions are there :) i’m in the early 100s on the open OOM too

    I was unsure how I did at the interview, got my results today - through and on the panel for Dublin, OOM in the high 70's.....

    Pretty pleased with that!
