    I'd say you're relieved now. How long were you in for? 45mins?

    Very relieved that it's over. It was about 30 minutes. I was expecting it to go over time but they concluded fairly quickly, no idea if thats a good thing or a bad thing!

    Well done, I am sure you did great.!
    Would you mind me asking what time your interview was at?
    Was there any trick questions?

    While that is true, no realignemnt is a complete restructuring of Revenue and how its functions are dealt with, currently is region based but going forward that model will be replaced and from an audit perspective it will be based on the size of the trader.

    Hi, if you put in the following coordinates to google maps it will bring you straight to the entrance, (Sorry I am not aloud post a link)??
    You enter through an arch and take the first right after the reception hut.
    Keep walking up that lane and you will see a Revenue sign outside a building on your right.

    53°20'32.7"N 6°16'06.6"W

    I hope that helps!!

    I completed an interview last week and was chosen (at random) to complete the online assessment again, under supervision - the assessment is identical to the format of the previous one.

    Yes, with the very odd additional question thrown in but still in relation to the application and your experience.

    Had mine today. It was tough enough but I’m happy with how it went.

    I’d give it 50\50 whether or not I passed it.

    Had mine today. Was ok. I was chosen to do the aptitude test again. Same format but I thought it was a bit harder, then again I was bamboozled from interview, and tired. They stuck to the form and asked for a few extra examples. End October for results

    Do you mind me asking if there were any technical questions? Anything about your knowledge of Tax or Audits etc.? Thanks

    I'd say that'll be down to how many people that fail the interview. 55% in each competency is high enough to pass. Not to mention the random retests that'll surely catch some people out.

    Had the interview today and it was very difficult, I was expecting it to be tough but I felt disheartened after.
    It all seems like a blur, but they asked about upcoming changes within revenue, what audits are, what other areas of compliance are.

    Hey folks.

    I work as a tax consultant and im interested in applying for the role in Revenue.

    I meet the requirements for having the minimum qualification.

    Just wondering about salary. I haven't read the information booklet but am I correct in saying the entry level salary is in or around 31k or how does it work?

    Thanks

    That's the Administrative Officer campaign see post #171 above for a link to that Thread.

    But yes, 31k and don't even think about applying without reading the information booklet.

    Were you in the top 300 OOM?
    __

    Just remembered sorry, I emailed them a few weeks back they said the first 300 OOM were called to interview.

    There will be another (smaller) batch called in January so you will be the next in line to be called then.

    Would 55% per competency be considered a high pass rate?

    I'm in a multinational, and our competency based interviews are 4 x 45 mins with an 85% pass rate

    Mines on Tuesday, I'm so relaxed now I know I'll spill coffee on myself on the train on the way up or something

    Had my interview yesterday. It was tough but I feel it went ok. I am currently full of the cold so that didn't help as I was very wooley headed. It's hard to tell, there was no reading the panel, they were very stoney faced. Time will tell. Best of luck everyone.
    I asked them about the training course. There is 2. One is a 13 week refresher course for some people who are already qualified. The other is a 2 year course. Which course you do depends on your skill gap.

    I had mine yesterday too! Same it was hard to read them although, I know there's two panels for this competition so mine were probably different, they were unsettlingly friendly.

    So I've either done well, or so badly they got a great laugh off me :P

    I didn't spill coffee down my top either so great success

    Anyone else so drained from the wait?
    Either way I’d just like to know
    Surely it’s a simple enough process initially after interview, pass or fail and they’d know that once the scores are added

    It’s not like private sector based on vibe / office politics etc

    But if the interviews are still ongoing how can they tell you where you placed on a panel. That wouldn't be fair on the candidates that come after you as they could score higher

    In my interview they asked a couple of questions about management, what you would do as a manager etc.. I was sure I read somewhere that an EO in revenue does not have staff reporting to them. Was anyone else asked these type of questions?

    No revenue EO's do have staff.

    Technically all EO's are people manager even if they don't have staff assigned to them straight away.

    From what I've been told EO's in Audit and Compliance usually don't have staff but that doesn't mean you'll never have staff assigned to you.
