I've been offered a job in Ballina, Mayo. Just sent off the evetting form. At what stage do you find out what dept it's in? I only know Environment and dole office, no clue what other departments there could be. I'm assuming if it was AGS, the vetting procedure would be different? Any info would be welcome.

I’m fairly certain there are some smaller sections of departments in Ballina like Housing, Gaeltacht, and rural development. You could also be placed in the courts I think, correct me if I’m wrong! Congratulations, I’m hoping to get a position in Ballina.

Thanks Pamela, that broadens the scope a bit. Good luck, hope you get Ballina.

Questions I got:

Working with a difficult colleague;
How would you feel about working shifts
Example when you provided good customer service
Working with a team

Know the competencies inside out

Did you get results or an OOM yet?

pizzzza · 19-10-2020 1:03pm

Apologies if this has already been asked. But for those who have been asked to forward on references and scanned documents etc, how long did it take before you received the link to the e-vetting? I sent mine off on Thursday, just wondering when I should expect to hear anything.

AlohaLights · 19-10-2020 1:57pm

Hi all- could someone please provide the email address to query current stance on the OOM in a county please?

Got an update today that they have called up to OOM 31 for Co. Mayo.

celticbest · 19-10-2020 3:13pm

Hi all, just been informed that I've been placed 28th on the panel in Batch 14 for the position of Clerical Officer in the Civil Service 2020 in Co. Dublin, does anyone have any idea if I'll have to wait long for an offer?

tritriagain · 19-10-2020 5:05pm

Did interview today and was informed I placed 1st in wexford. Will I have long to wait and how long do you get to decide if you take the offer

Hey just wondering wat questions you were asked for it? I have mine tomorrow for Westmeath, congratulations on your placing from what I've seen on some comments here I doubt you'll be waiting long for placement

I think I was given three days to accept the offer. Tuesday to Friday if I remember right! That was for Revenue though so could be different in other departments. The wait wasn't long but again that was for Revenue where there's a recruitment drive. Other departments you might have to wait for a position to come up which could depend on someone leaving etc.

beenhad · 19-10-2020 9:31pm

Just out of curiosity, did many of you get the expression of interest for Co Dublin panel today? I did and am already on this panel, very short response time and you are removed from panel if you don't respond!

Vologda69 · 19-10-2020 11:27pm

Any new hire delays likely in Level 5 with difficulties training staff etc?

Hi do you mind me asking what documents you had to scan through.... with lockdown looming I want to get as much prepared as possible I know I have my university transcripts but I definitely don’t have my leaving cert do they ask for this if you have a degree

You won't need anything like that. It's filling in what you get sent and then your identification and reference contact details

Catrionaoc · 20-10-2020 10:03am

Just had a reply.
OOM for Clare is 2 and Limerick is 19.

Thanks for your reply, I have a little bit of a wait ahead of me so.

Cloggerson · 20-10-2020 11:40am

To date we have called up to OOM 32 for Co. Meath and OOM 9 for Co. Cavan.

lass1 · 20-10-2020 1:25pm

Hi been had
I just got an email today asking the same it’s very short time to reply

happylad21 · 20-10-2020 1:39pm

I am just wondering what is the next steps once you are successfully after the interview. I have a couple of questions?

When they say batch what do they mean? I see above it was mentioned Batch 14, so if they are interviewing for batch 14 does that mean batches 1 to 13 are finished and the people in them batches have gotten a job?

How many people are typically on a panel after the interview?

How long would you be waiting for a job if say your in the top 20 of a panel?

tritriagain · 20-10-2020 2:59pm

Have to supply details and the are looking for reference contact at current employees. It say they won't contact them unless giving permission. Is this the case. I'm on trial in current position and would definitely be let go if they thought I was looking elsewhere

Clare and Limerick are very slow compared to some of the other counties

Gosh I can't remember sending Id with vetting

Guffy · 20-10-2020 10:48pm

Just checked my spam folder to see if the e-vetting form had gone there, i discovered a fecking bounce back email

deadline was the 19th, is there any hope I'd still be considered?

I forwarded on the original email with the time stamp on it. So bloody annoyed.

Will have to follow up with a call in the morning.

Its worth a try. I mixed up the date of my 1st interview, logged on a day late. Emailed, grovelled and was put back on the panel. Don't think they are taking calls. I would email ASAP.

Guffy · 20-10-2020 11:08pm

Emailed there, had to split it over 3 emails as it wouldn't compress it below the required 10mb.

Actually feel sick right now.

Hey just wondering how long it took for any of yous to be giving a start date once you were assigned? I was assigned to social protection nearly 2 weeks ago and havent heard a thing from the dept about a start date, I have 2 friends who were hired from the 2019 comp and they both received a start date the following day after being assigned, I tried emailing and havent got a reply so not sure what's going on

Hi guys
Anyone know what the batch numbers mean?

The batch number is how they group people together. The number of people in each batch can differ between counties but for example you could have the first 100 people called to interview in Batch 1, and the next 100 in Batch 2.

Sometime they also do sub-batches so in Batch 1 - the first 20 maybe batch 1.1 and the next 20 are in batch 1.2 and so on.

Can you apply for mobility once the one year probation is up? Is there a long wait to get moved does anyone know?

EireinOZ · 21-10-2020 8:48pm

You can apply for mobility straight away and you join the queue AFAIK. You have to wait two years before you can actually move though.

Latteral transfer on secondment can become available after you finish probation.

celticbest · 22-10-2020 10:21am

Does anyone know what Batch number they are working off now in Dublin? I was told I'm Batch 14?

Yes, mobility can be applied for on day one. May aswel get the name in the hat as a 2 year wait and then another bit until a place becomes available so could be any length then after the 2 years is up.

I'm 3 weeks plus waiting on social protection to get in touch

climber123 · 22-10-2020 1:52pm

That's great about being able to apply for mobility, thanks!. Does a manager in your department know when you apply? I think I might be happy long term but handy to keep options open
