I asked myself that question many times while reading the email. What a bunch of clowns.

Well it just doesn't seem fair. Glad we have till the 29th of March to do it.

hopefully its not as long as the PAS CLERICAL OFFICER one...its been going on since last year for me...

The PAS clerical one has not been that slow moving for the majority of high scorers. I had progressed past three stages by mid October after having applied in june

Just so you all have an idea i am currently a TCO with the HSE almost 2 yrs and all of us that are TCO's in my job we have quiet a few have to do this campaign to secure our jobs. So it can go either way if current tcos do not pass more jobs open up its mad! But there are quiet alot of vacancies!! Im in Dublin and places have been so understaffed due to embargos over the last few years!! Good luck everyone x

Hi Just wondering what kind of scores do you all reckon we'll need to get on the online assessment, if the numbers are high I presume a pass rate won't be enough what do you reckon?

If it's like the Pas - the pass rate is 40 iirc but it's the higher you get - you'll get called up for further progress

I applied in May only had interview in Feb

I don't think applications opened to June. It's a 2 year panel so it will be open to end of summer '18. Everyone applied at the same time so we are all waiting not just you.

Does anyone have any idea how many people applied and how many positions are available?

What's the salary for these positions?
Thanks.

When you say previous experience does that mean in clerical roles as I'm 13 years in public service but as clerical

Fractions, percentages, ratios, interrupreting data from graphs, all of them will probably feature.

if you google it, some more practice tests are on the Public jobs page

Clerical Officer Grade III
There were 23,269 applications. Assessments will issue shortly. Moving to Stages 3 & 4 of the process (competency based forms / interviews) will be done on a geographical basis. Geographical areas with the greatest number of approvals with Job Orders / Panel Management will be prioritised and actioned.

Just thought i would share with yous the email us TCO's in the HSE got circulated in relation to the amount of applicants there were.

The error checking was tough with the time limits. I had to do it twice as I took too long reading the question, was over before I even realised!

I did it twice the practice ones but my laptop froze and said I couldn't do it again before I could do the other 4 fml

The verbal and maths weren't too bad

annoying though we cant re do it though - would like more practice on the error checking
