i applied for a tempory position as clerical person in revenue in kerry office but positions were advertised national wide it said may to sept and i applied on line can anyone else who applied tell me did they hear anything as i thought i might have heard something by now
Hey
I applied too.
If you have your confirmation number that you submitted the application form, phone the dublin number that was with it and ask them if you've been shortlisted.
I phoned them last week and was told i was way down the list ie. i'm not getting the job! They said they'll be posting out letters by the end of May.
She didn't accept it because she had a new job got.
What experience/qualifications do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
Maybe they might have called all the people with accounts/office experience first (She has 12 yrs experience between general office work and accounts).
They might have done it on Leaving Cert levels, or might have called all the people with degrees. She got 6 hons in leaving cert and has a business degree with some accounting exams.
I think that Kerry might have less places than the larger towns. Also competition could be stiff as a lot of the people in college have good work experience nowadays.
Since you have a degree, this may look just as good as someone with no degree and lots of experience.
The govt jobs value education and will put more weight on a degree. For permanent jobs, you get a certain mark for your education. If you have a good L Cert and degree, then you would get high up in the panel.
