    Congrats to those who heard!! And don't be thinking your doomed if you haven't, not everyone starts the same date, everyone has to go to the training centre in portlaoise at the start so they usually go in blocks, so there would be people starting two/three weeks later, and two/three weeks after that again I think. Well done and welcome to the board!! Have fun in Portlaoise, and don't worry, you'll do more than climb poles once you're on the job in a few weeks. Make the most of it and we'll done!!

    I am also starting on 31st August. I rang HR to find out about accommodation but they said that they don't give out accommodation lists anymore! Does anyone know of good places to stay? I also asked HR if ESB subsidies the cost of accommodation but the guy didn't know - still waiting for him to get back to me - does anyone know? Thanks

    Does anyone have any idea what the wages are like with the ESB? And how frequently they pay? I'm used to weekly so monthly will be a shock to the system haha

    Brilliant thanks! Is the training in Portlaois paid or at our own expense? I don't mind either way, just wanna get my finances in order and make my last two weeks wages last.

    I haven't got any word from the ESB since my interview, good or bad, so no medical or anything. Should I be worried and start considering my cao offer which I received this morning as it's very late and I will only have till the end of the week to accept my cao

    Just a quick word of advice guys! If you haven't heard anything keep an eye on the spam folder in your email. I just found my one there now and it was sent out over a week ago!!

    Hang in there it's a long process with loads of waiting.. If you did the medical you're more than likely in there unless you tested posited for drugs or have some sort of ailment?

    I would give it two weeks from the medical as a waiting time to hear if you get it. They seem to be starting it in blocks ie 31st of Aug, 7th of September so 14th should be the next start..
