    Are they finished interviewing everyone?

    I asked at the end of mine and they said that they would be letting people know in early May so at least we won't be waiting for too long.

    Good luck everyone:)

    I dont think so. The lady at my interview said that they were interviewing all last week and this week and then a few people next week that they couldnt fit in. So obviously they are interviewing huge numbers of people. Anyone have any idea how many roles are available in each area?

    Roll on "early May"!!

    Grand so we should probably begin to hear by the end of next week.

    No idea how many jobs are going but remember there are around 8 streams!

    The girl that interviewed me said that it would be 3-4 weeks before they would be getting back to people. That was in the corporate and treasury division. While I was waiting to go in I was talking to another candidate who was going for actuary and she said there was 4-6 places in the actuary division

    Has anybody got word yet?

    I am wondering how involved with some other interview processes I should get. Although I'd say my chances here are around 10%!:D

    Not from me anyway.

    I sense another rejection on route if the AIB one was anything to go by. Hands on the buzzer tomorrow!

    So is it safe to say the business banking applicants have not been contacted yet??

    Meteors signal went down in the area i was in today so didn't know whether I was contacted or not. Pissed off with meteor.

    I hope so! That way we're not guaranteed a rejection just yet. ;)

    I'd imagine they would have left you a voicemail if they'd called. These places usually do.

    Fingers crossed for us all today!

    Nybody else applied for the HR role? The interviewer was saying that they took 2 last year so I'd say competition is fierce... I haven't heard anything yet so feeling super nervious now.
