    Hi,

    Received interview invite last Friday for October 2nd in Castlebar for the West area. Surely they must be nearing the end of interviewing candidates??

    I asked at my interview in early september and was told they'd be interviewing till the end of the year and not to expect any results from the interview before then. Such a waste of time. :(

    I’ve been working with them through an agency and got an email from agency saying my position was being filled from someone from the panel.? How is that if the interviews are still ongoing and also I’ve been for the interview and no panel has been formed yet? Is there still people on the last panel???

    I had an interview yesterday in Galway. Found it difficult. Asked the usual competency questions, but then asked me unusual ones like, have i ever organised an event, situation orientated questions like you have been handed 2 important tasks both urgent, how do you proceed. They said it would be the New year before I hear anything.

    They told me i would hear back late september, i've heard nothing. I've taken a job offered from PAS since tho so if they do contact me at this stage it's too late.

    They will ask you what you know about Tusla, who they work with, who they represent and who falls under their permit (children, vulnerable adults etc) and how they work etc.
    I cant remember what they asked about GDPR but they did ask about it.
    Just research as much as you can about Tusla, read over some GDPR stuff and know what your role would be as a clerical officer (your day to day job).

    They asked what legislations apply to Tusla. Children First GDPR, Preschool regulations etc. They asked what do you know about Tusla. They asked competency questions and for examples I gave they asked what was the learning from that. They asked specifically about teamwork, communication, a time when I didn't meet a deadline, a time when had difficult experience with a colleague. Solution and outcome from each experience. Hope that helps.

    I emailed Tusla today and was told no results for interviews until end November most likely.

    Oh god that's an awful kick to miss by one stinking point. What's for you won't pass you by.
    I interviewed for Limerick as well and haven't heard a Dicky bird from them

    I know.
    In fairness I do think it could be interesting work. Its just that I've been thro the PAS recruitment process and there's no comparison. At least you knew where you were and could follow it.
