Don't think anyone has been notified yet. Hopefully by Friday

MW2020 · 04-03-2020 12:35pm

No I have heard nothing yet either and also hoping we will hear this week. And wondering what the next stage will be if I get that far!

Next Stage would normally be supervised tests but considering the timeframe, they might just go with interviews. Maybe a presentation as well.

Next stage is anyone's guess really. The last 2 competitions I've entered the supervised test have been before submission of the application form. My guess is that it will be an interview next to form the panel however it is only a guess.

GalwayGirl2020 · 05-03-2020 2:40am

Thanks everyone

I presume this panel then would be for September? I am under the assumption that we are too late for the March start date. Just guessing by the time they get people interviewed and a panel created and offers sent out and references/garda vetting checked it would be well into April if not May. Just wondering if anyone knows if last years panel got offered a start date of March 2020? Thank you Xx

I can't see anyone starting in March from this campaign but march may only be an approximate date . It did say the panel would be valid for 1 year from when it was formed so I guess that gives us a chance for next march also.
The external panel from last recruitment expired at the end of 2019 but there would be internal panels in place and transfer that may have been offered positions if they arose.

A new revenue campaign has gone live today for anyone that's interested. Ap tax nationwide

Ollie321 · 05-03-2020 8:43pm

Fingers crossed we get word tomorrow

cornel08biz · 06-03-2020 1:42pm

I didn't ask but I assume it will be interviews.

Ollie321 · 09-03-2020 12:27pm

Any idea what day we will hear?

Anonire · 09-03-2020 11:03pm

I wonder if they haven't issued invites to interview in case the country goes on lockdown.

If that were the case which it could well be, it would be nice to know if we have been shortlisted or not, this could go on long enough

No, nothing here. I would have thought when they said early next week that we would have heard by today at the latest

People on interview boards will be at high risk of being instructed to work from home. In that context it is difficult to see how they would arrange for a cohort to travel from all counties of Ireland to one interview room. Any date interviews might have been planned for will by now be uncertain.

MW2020 · 11-03-2020 10:31am

Yes its frustrating even if they sent a message to say next stage delayed that be something. Suspect it will all be on hold until things are clearer in terms of schools and that closing and working from home arrangements so it could be a while really.

They may be trying to come up with a different plan maybe online interviews or some such. An update would be lovely though put us out of our misery for another while.

Emails will be out tomorrow or Friday and this time I asked...the next stage is supervised testing ðŸ™ðŸ™

Anonire · 11-03-2020 6:27pm

Thanks for the update.
I guess all our conspiracy about the corona virus contingency plan was wrong if it's supervised testing.:D

Connected99 · 12-03-2020 1:16pm

Just got email - didn't get through to the next stage. Disappointed!

Best of luck to everyone!!

Bubbles100 · 12-03-2020 1:18pm

Result are in guys. Wishing you all the best of luck

mary poppins · 12-03-2020 1:29pm

Didn’t got through either so disappointing . Best of luck to everyone else.

BoyLaw937 · 12-03-2020 1:40pm

Shortlisting done, next stage is tests but no date yet.

Anonire · 12-03-2020 2:29pm

Sorry to those that aren't progressing.it is very disappointing.
Congratulations to those who are. The wait continues.
Stay safe everyone.

Ollie321 · 12-03-2020 3:21pm

I don't understand why candidates were given an application form to fill in to now be told that there qualifications are not sufficient to the various streams. Qualifications had to be declared before application forms were issued

marmieB · 12-03-2020 4:10pm

Next stage seems to be the verbal and numerical in supervised environment. It says nothing about an interview. Given all the restrictions just announced, they should have included interviews as well, especially with any curtailment in public transport

I'm sure many of the applicants have already sat these supervised tests in previous revenue competitions, hopefully they decide to use that as their verification, unless they are using the tests to form the oom. Or else have the interview and tests on the same day although as you said no mention of interview.

Rikand · 12-03-2020 4:34pm

Got through. I imagine there'll be a delay on hosting the supervised testing due to the restrictions in having people in close proximity to each other for any sustained length of time.

Could be a month or more before anyone is directed where to go and when

jw_sweetman · 12-03-2020 5:36pm

Got through as well. Put myself down for the taxation panel and economics/statistics. Was kinda annoyed that I only qualified for the latter as I'm pretty sure that there are few vacancies in that stream. Was anyone here accepted for taxation?

12-03-2020 5:45pm

I have a BBS Degree Accounting Stream & Diploma in Applied Taxation - I queried at the start of this competition was I eligible for the Taxation Panel & was told no. Taxation was a major subject in my final year of my degree but that didn't matter. They told me that this competition was more specific in eligibility & general streams are not eligible. I was lucky as I got through on the Accounting Panel but it's very unfair on others who's degrees are not eligible.

Anonire · 12-03-2020 5:57pm

Got through on the tax and accounting panel.

Galantis · 13-03-2020 6:17pm

Did anyone receive what position they were on the Panel?

Did they fail you on the qualification criteria?

Yes hence why I wondered why an application form was issued at all. The criteria wasnt easy or clear for candidates to decipher wheather they would actually qualify or not

I didn't get that impression. I thought they were quite clear and clearly stricter than previous competitions. Best of luck with future endeavours.

mary poppins · 14-03-2020 8:48am

Anyone unsuccessful on this campaign applying for the current one ? Just curious it’s a much higher position.

I thought the criteria was very clear although it was alot stricter than previously. I know its especially disappointing to not progress when you made the panel previously. I do know someone else this has happened to.

I am still in this competition however even If I wasn't I would be applying for the other comp.
The feedback form from this comp will tell you the areas where your form needs improvement.

And what's also disappointing is when we have to sit supervised testing and not pass those to progress.

I am being considered for Taxation & Accounting.

It was my first time doing those tests....but will I get on as good the second time?? Here's hoping...

However, in the current climate I would not be surprised that we receive an email to say the next stage/competition will be put on hold for a while.

The tests will be the very same format again nothing to worry about I wouldn't have thought.
Not expecting to hear anything anytime soon however.

Take care everyone

If you google the name of the tests we did you should find a relevant provider. You'll get a free go before buying. Use this to ensure you are buying the right one - if you do buy.

But if you passed the previous ones you should be ok with future ones.
