Currently batch 16, oom 56 as from yesterday.

Arsenal1886 · 21-01-2021 12:03pm

Thanks. My OOM is in the 90s batch 16, what are my chances of being placed somewhere before it ends?

Working since late Nov and getting on great. I signed up for an online course on peoplepoint today but won't really get time to do it in work. I know you can do it through citrix from home but will they give me access to citrix only being there a short time.

I know the money is rubbish starting off but all i would say to people here is take the job with revenue. Fantastic work life balance, regular hours, flexi time pre covid. Money will go up. Less stress in your working life the better. Certainly has helped my life, mental health, etc.

I was assigned to AGS a few weeks ago, I had to complete 2 rounds of vetting, 1 with PAS and then a separate one that the gaurds run themselfs. I completed both and was told the next step is for someone to contact me for a reference, it's been a week since bith vettings where cleared, doesn't anyone know how long it takes to be contacted after vetting for a reference or to be assigned to a station?

Just looking for some general feedback on possible venues for CO and TCO assignments.
Where would be the best place one could hope to be assigned to in terms of workload & quality of training for new staff, etc?

I have a good friend who was a TCO and then CO and now is an EO in Revenue and she loves it. Really enjoys her work. She has progressed really quickly through the ranks too.

Emailed PAS last week and they were up to OOM 25.

Limerick Panel will be slow moving until the Collector Generals and Inspect of Taxes Office open up. At the moment staff are working from home mainly.

If you are a current TCO and the department you are working for ask to retain you can you appeal this on the grounds that the CO panel is a separate entity and you wish to be assigned based on the natural process of the CO panel? (Hope that makes sense)

Did they not ask you first if you'd like to stay?

Do you not wish to be retained while you wait for the permanent CO panel takes its course ?

Are you saying that instead of moving to a different location and starting new as a permanent co, they want you to take up your permanent role in the same place you have been working as a tco? I remember you saying you’d been assigned to same dept as you’re in now. The dept assignment may well have been the natural process of the permanent panel but if they’ve asked to retain you that does seem to suggest that had they not, you would may got a move to a different location in the county albeit still in that dept but in a different office.

Hi all
Just wondering where do the tipperary offices be & what do they do? My friend asking and not on this forum & i dont no myself thanks very much

bangors85 · 25-01-2021 2:09pm

Just wondering what kind of questions do they ask and do they keep interview short and just look for example of each question ?j

G2234567 · 25-01-2021 6:22pm

Interview is quite fast.
Start they ask you about CV.
Question about your skills and why you applied.
Then competency question example confrontation in work place.
Finish you have a chance to add anything you like.
It wasn't to hard and they were very pleasant.
Are you interviewing for Dublin? What number where you?
Best of luck.

A few of the options in Tipp are as follows:

Revenue in Nenagh or Thurles

Agriculture, Garda Vetting, immigration, in Tipp Town

Social Welfare in the bigger towns like Clonmel, Thurles and Nenagh.
Garda Sations in most towns.

I'm sure I am missing plenty off that list too

Garda Vetting and Fixed Penalty Points units are in Thurles, both have hired recently along with the DSP office in Thurles.

Garda College in Templemore is also an option but not much happening there at present with Covid. Likewise the big offices are all as good as empty in Nenagh too.

List is endless.

Did you friend apply? Or just querying it. Very random question to ask if already on a panel and not exactly knowing where or what the job is. Don't mean to be rude!

You can turn down a position if it's outside the a set distance, not sure what it is. Maybe 40/50km?

Others may know more.

Thanks for that il let her no that & she can double check herself the set distance so good luck & thanks again

Jamp 123 · 26-01-2021 9:43pm

Hi, just asking, is this unusual?

Should you express an interest in the above position and/or attend for interview, you will no longer be considered for other vacancies that may arise throughout the course of the Clerical Officer 2020 competition and will only be considered for a CO Customs Officer role. However, should you be successful and your place on the panel not reached, your interview result will be carried over and your place reinstated on the Stage 1 Clerical Officer 2020 panel

I checked a couple of weeks ago and Meath was on 48. It’s moving very slowly.

Hi I'm the same I filled out the application form as requested, for clerical officer customs officer, but customs in the port definitely won't suit me (shifts and distance), can I withdraw now? Will I be removed from the panel, or considered for another role? Thanks

Yes Rosslare Dublin Port, I applied for Wexford, does that me Rosslare would apply.
If you complete this form, does that mean you are removed from the CO panel? and just on the Customs panel?

How long after you have passed clearance does it take for your assignment to be posted to your message board? I have been given a proposed start date but haven't been told department or any further information.

My vetting came back last Monday, they had already contacted my reference a few days beforehand and I had an email and text to check my message board on Tuesday morning. That just said the dept I was being assigned to and a details of a contact in hr. Still don’t have a start date though..

I'm the exact same as you, don't worry. I figure it's all working in the background and they will be in touch soon.

My vetting came back 2 weeks ago tomorrow, and I already know I'm being assigned to AGS but nobody has contacted me with any further details, no start date no emails no messages, I'm trying to be patient but also getting paranoid that I'm missing something. Dont know wheter to email and enquire about it.

Yes if you express your interest you will be removed from the current panel.

But if you do not get a job with Customs after expression of interest, you will return back to the CO panel.
