    I never got any topics or anything like that in the email, all I got was one example of a question they might ask about past work.

    As its for an electrical apprenticeship does that mean if you got it you'd be trained as a linesman or which electrical section would it be, electrician ?

    You'll be trained as an electrician and do normal off job in an IT as like all other electricians and end up with a fetac electricians cert (level 6 advanced) But along with being trained in that area, you will also be trained in lines, cable jointing, HV station work and operating the network/fault hunting. You will be trained in these areas both on the job in 3 month rotations between different departments, and in the training school in Portlaoise, which you'll also spend quite a bit of time in

    Best of luck to all in the interviews!!!!!

    I just replied to the last email I received from them. I didn't get any info from them on my application, I'll just have to wait. I'm presuming that since the interviews are being held next week that I didn't get through.

    Got my interview for the 22nd of June up in Dublin. Anyone have any advice on the how the interview goes? or common questions they like to ask? I've never had an interview with a panel of people :/

    If u read back through this thread there are a few posts from last year where people gave advice on what issues to cover.They mentioned safety and team work are very important. You could Google it and you may be able to find the posts.

    Best of luck with the interview.

    I just got off the phone with person in the recruitment department of ESB, she said they still going through the applications its a manual process and they will let each applicant know either way, its just high number of applications this year.

    Hope there is still hope :)

    Hi. I don't have interview date yet but will hopefully get one soon. I doubt anyone will come on here and tell us the questions. It's a competition after all. They would be putting themselves at a big disadvantage. Just my opinion

    I don't know the questions, but have experience with the company. Safety is massive at the moment, so stress safety and following procedures


  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭jrobertos


    Everything has gone rather quite here😊


  • Registered Users Posts: 35 dnk123
