Temporary Clerical Officer 2020 in the Civil and Public Service

Smegging hell · 09-01-2020 6:32pm

Got my result [snipped].

NomadicGray · 09-01-2020 6:42pm

Got a result for Cork. In the 90s on order of merit but i don't know what's good or not in these things.

Mollywolly · 09-01-2020 6:46pm

Also had my result for Co. Limerick. Happy enough with my OOM, better than last time I applied in 2018. When I was eventually called for Stage 2 testing 10 months later, I'd got another job and was reasonably settled. Fingers crossed I won't have to wait as long this time!

finla · 09-01-2020 6:46pm

Early 20s for Wexford. Happy with that &#55357;&#56833;

Messi19 · 09-01-2020 6:47pm

235 for Dublin. Just missed out on category A by 5, whatever that means

Scouseouse · 09-01-2020 6:50pm

Just got placed 50th for Donegal. No idea if this is good or poor for Donegal.

suppet · 09-01-2020 6:51pm

30's for Kilkenny, fingers crossed.

furrybones · 09-01-2020 7:00pm

20's for Offaly. I did much better than last year so I'm happy with it.

dartboardio · 09-01-2020 7:16pm

Got placed 74th for Waterford.
Is 74th okay/bad/good for co. Waterford?

How long does it usually take to be invited for an interview, if this is the case?!

LionelNashe · 09-01-2020 7:16pm

Bottom third for Dublin. I can't seem to get what they're after in these tests.

Scouseouse · 09-01-2020 7:26pm

Summer only., ranked 50 in Donegal . Not sure if this will get me an interview. Do interviews get held in Dublin or Donegal? I'm a first time applicant so no idea what happens next .

El_Floof · 09-01-2020 7:34pm

Has anyone gone through this before that has a rough idea how long the process is? Does the order of merit change after the interview?

Sorry for the questions.

Asdfghtabs · 09-01-2020 7:41pm

I'm in the 120's in Cork. Anyone know if that's good or bad?

Same. What is the secret to getting in the top 10?!

DundalkFan86 · 09-01-2020 8:21pm

I got 65 in Dublin bloody surprised with that!

Interviews for this competition are usually held in the Public Appointment Service, Chapter House, 26/30 Upper Abbey Street, Dublin 1, D01 C7W6. Back in November they announced they would also be holding interview in Prosperity Chambers, 19 Baggot Street Lower, Dublin 2 so If called for interview be sure to check the location stated on the invitation.

Sorry for the questions.

It depends on your location choice and the requirements of the departments in that location. They usual call in batches of 20-50 at a time depending on how many they expect to need in your county.

They changed the process last year and supposedly changed it back this year so your order of merit most likely won't change after interview. Summer only candidates are likely to be called first and the all year round called thereafter.

PS: Although your number won't change, if other candidates turn down the invitation to interview, fail to show on time or fail to passed the interview or subsequently turn down an offer of a job, you will be moved up on the list as other candidates are eliminated.

Mollieor · 09-01-2020 10:22pm

Mid 20s here for Tipperary. Fingers crossed

blackro12345 · 10-01-2020 10:47am

20 in Dublin. Delighted

suppet · 10-01-2020 11:05am

Summer only candidates are likely to be called first and the all year round called thereafter.

Why would summer applicants be first if they won't be needed until summer?

Ollie321 · 10-01-2020 11:08am

Lets say you are OOM No1 and you get a contract for 6 weeks, at the end of the 6 weeks when you are available again can you be given another contract?
Also can a candidate refuse a location if over 45kms as like the permanent roles?

blackro12345 · 10-01-2020 11:13am

I'm a TCO and I'm still one after starting in July 2018 so there's a good chance you'll be kept on

Are you eligible to apply for promotion to EO, if you served as TCO for 2years?

pjcpolly · 10-01-2020 11:32am

Early 20's for Wexford

Yes I think so.

bashybazook · 10-01-2020 12:52pm

57 in Galway, which is in the top third according to their feedback. Good, maybe?

coolshoes47 · 10-01-2020 1:26pm

Don't know, I'm in the 70's in Offaly, first time applying, so just curious if that's in the ballpark for getting called for interview

Syndic · 10-01-2020 1:28pm

I just got an invite for interview for Dublin for 30th January. Very shocked at this as my OOM is in the 500s. Thought it would be much later if I was called.

It will depend on TCO demand over the life of this panel. I was 70's in Offaly last year and didn't get an interview.

Hi, Can I just ask if you applied for JS or AY?

All year.

coolshoes47 · 10-01-2020 8:02pm

Oh dear, thats a pity. Now whats does OOM stand for? I presume its connected the position on the list?

coolshoes47 · 10-01-2020 8:38pm

Worked it out, Order of merit

Slippin Jimmy · 10-01-2020 9:12pm

I got called for an interview. Assuming I pass the interview stage, how long typically does it take to get placed? My OOM was 32 in Meath.

Janas · 10-01-2020 9:21pm

Am currently a TCO no 47 for Offaly for 2020 competition, have interview 21st Jan. There is no guarantee you will be kept on in a position. I am covering a 6 month maternity leave, and the person is coming back. Another TCO working in same dept as me got a 6 month contract, and hers has just been extended by another 6 months. It's all the luck of the draw

Janas · 10-01-2020 9:24pm

It can take a few months, last year I was no 53 for Offaly, had interview in May, and did not get post until 7th Oct

I interviewed last August for the 2019 campaign and just got an offer this week. There is no saying how long it takes to get placed, if at all :rolleyes:

coolshoes47 · 11-01-2020 12:23pm

Would you share feedback after your interview on the 21st? It could be really helpful to me, as I'm new to this TCO competition, having been at home with kids for the last decade

foreverme · 11-01-2020 1:32pm

anybody called for interview for Westmeath yet? Thanks.

ryanobr1en · 11-01-2020 1:35pm

Anybody apply for the Kerry TCO 2020 or get called for interview yet?

Slippin Jimmy · 11-01-2020 11:48pm

From their message I understand that they will not reschedule a interview. Is this really the case or would there be any room for a bit of leniency?

OOM 4 for Kerry, nothing yet. Had interview in March last year with OOM 5.

I asked for a reschedule last year and was told it was only in cases of illness or bereavement that it may be allowable.

EVanB · 12-01-2020 6:10am

The interview asks for "TCO References" what exactly is a TCO reference and where do you get one? (I was working as a TCO last year but I'm unsure who to get in touch with about a reference.)

You can get in touch with your EO or whoever was your supervisor in your department last year. Make sure it's on headed paper.

You may not be waiting that long. The Dublin panel take on the most TCO'S during the Summer months. There also may be some people in front of you who may not be able to take the position. Best of luck.
