    I suppose it depends on how quick the paper work goes through. More time to get fit though!!

    Can you actually get interview feedback? I didn't know that was possible.

    Just found this thread! But had my interview mid Sept - Results early Oct. Had my meeting with my local Sgt on sunday night and she got the paperwork and all my references contacted. Garda appointments got onto me yesterday for some additional info and I got it back to them within the hour. Rang them today to confirm receipt. I'm like a plague making sure nothing holds me up!

    Also I am going to head up to Templemore on the 24th Nov. No harm having a look around to give me more motivation to hit the gym harder!

    I don't think you'd be allowed to attend yet. On our invitations it says you must present the invitation and ID before entering the Garda College. Hopefully ya won't be waiting too long to hear something!

    It's only those who received the invite. It says so on the email unfortunately. But there will be another one soon I am sure.

    A lot of people haven't been called yet. I've a single-digit oom and haven't heard anything as of yet. I'd imagine it depends on your local station and how busy there. Considering traligurl was only waiting a month I'd be hoping to be seen this side of Christmas. Going by that I'd say the waiting time is 1-3 months, but just my opinion.

    More of an informal chat. But I would dress smart as they are deciding whether of not you are a suitable candidate and will check Pulse for any records and will be contacting all your referees.

      They checked my references before I went to the station and she asked me when i was in the interview if I had anything that would show up on pulse, so based on that I am assuming she hadn't checked it already. But I knew there was nothing on it for me so.

        One of my reference now doesn’t want to be a ref cause he’s a lot going on personally. Do you think I could change it since I haven’t been called for a local interview yet?

        I would ring HRM. Best to try and change it than have your reference get called.
