    Well just finished the tests not too bad. Kinda disappointed only got to page 5 on the call handling but I don't know how anyone could go any faster and be accurate. Really hope I at least make it to the next stage! I'll be fierce disappointed if I don't but ho-hum! Good Luck Everyone!

    Yes me too!! Just got one question on call handler and then they said I'd completed test, tried to go back in and got same msg.

    That happened me too, didn’t get hardly any practice.

    Anyway I did the test today, was happy with the verbal and questionnaire but don’t think Ill pass as I got very little done in the call handling just went so fast.

    There was an error when I was going one of the the tests and I got logged out too early but the test still showed 'in progress' the other 2 showed up as 'completed' but I couldn't get back into the test as when I pressed the 'start' button it showed a pop-up box with 'completed' I emailed them and they sorted it out for me but that was a good few days before the deadline. Worth mailing them about it but I'd imagine as the deadline is passed they won't do anything about it now, as it actually says in the notes to do the tests early in case you run into IT problems!

    Nobody can say for sure. It's only when we receive a message from public jobs, we'll know.

    Just out of curiosity,what day of the week is It? Hoping if I get called it'd be for a Saturday as it'd be hard to get it off work during the week.

    Was there an aptitude test result with the invitation? It seems unusual you got an invitation to stage 2 when the results haven’t been sent out yet.....

    Rather interestingly, when I was having a look about my public jobs profile, I went into the Bookings section and was given the option to book round 2 testing on the 20th, 21st, 22nd or 23rd of this month. I don't have a message in my inbox, so it might just be a glitch and I won't be invited to the next round.

    Kind of disappointed in those dates as they really don't suit. I was hoping in vain that like some of the other campaigns they would run testing on a Saturday.

    In the same boat (Dublin) - dates, but no clarification to proceed.

    I clicked one date out of noseyness and the times are 9:00, 11:00, 12:30 and 15:00 - do we know how long they take?

    Looks like a half day needed.

    I have that option in bookings too. It's very short notice and it looks like there will be supervised test and interview on same day which is great not to have to travel twice but next week!
    I presume the smart centre is in Chapter House on Abbey Street where they do the supervised testing.

    They do it with all the civil service campaigns through PAS.

    Basically its your ranking based on your test score. So after every stage of the competition you are ranked again. If your OOM is 100 for example that means you are the top 100 out of all applicants for your region. The lower the number the better.

    Once all stages are completed the OOM is the order that they start offering positions. I hope this makes sense!
