    Really... Have they been many placed as a result of the internal competition or is it still ongoing?

    No it only finished a few weeks before this one came on - I wasn't eligible to apply for it so had to apply externally but quite a few long timers grade 3's in my office did apply- they haven't been called for interview yet though ....

    ooops i had a like 30 seconds left for some of the parts and let the time run down to give myself a little break... silly

    I'm not sure if it's an established fact, or just speculation about the time factor - I would have thought it would have been mentioned in the information sent out..

    When you submitted an answer early, it asked 'are you sure? time remaining'

    Yeah defo, not an established fact. That's usually how they work but yes they should have made that clear in the information sent to us.

    How come you weren't able to apply internally...seems odd if you've been there for some time. You would think that they would prefer people like you who have knowledge of the system as you already work there.

    I haven't been working long enough with the HSE to apply and all sections are different and have different functions and roles- it is like Revenue, you could have been working in Debt Management in one office and only be trained in that and then transfer out and be working in paye only and would have to be retrained again.

    HSE ran a Grade III competition last year for specific purpose contracts which is what I am on now, but have still applied for the new Grade III and Grade IV as well.

    Oh that's a shame, is your role in a hospital?

    I remember that campaign as I was annoyed that I missed it, but glad to be on the right track for the permanent campaign which would be great if something comes out of it. Fingers crossed for all of us. Thanks for the info.

    Agh I didn't get a chance to do the assessment over the weekend so had to do it this morning in work on some downtime. Got called away from my desk by management for a brief question while doing the verbal and missed a whole section. Really hoping it doesn't affect my score too badly!
    Starting a grade 3 civil service position in September but want to keep my options open with this panel as well.

    The internal competition is running at the same time as this competition. It is limited to people currently in a temporary appointment as a Grade 4. 20 percent of positions are to be filled from the internal panel and 80 percent from this panel.
    The internal applicants have submitted competency based applications that will be evaluated in September to see who goes to the next stage of interviews.

    128, 76th percentile. Disappointed but I was expecting a low score after being called away during the test! Do they ever break it down by area at all or is that the only ranking we will get until after interview?

    95th percentile too! Delighted!

    Of course it doesn't mean anything, if there are no jobs in your area.
