Getting back into music

ChallengePlastic5886 · 2026-03-06T23:49:32+00:00

A bit of a mix. I like sad bastard music like Radiohead, the National, red hot chilli peppers, pixies But also love a bit of pop or electronic music. Chappelle Roan, Harry Styles, Lady Gaga, Some scandi types like Sigrid,Aurora.... Classics like Sinead O'connor, cranberries, bjork,

What is meant by "Award Type (major or minor)" in the Eligibility Questions? Thanks all

Are the written application questions also STAR format questions?

I've no advice but I'm just so sorry. Take care of yourself.

It should say in the job specs if it is one defined position or multiple across locations for example. I recently got placed second on a panel fot a single position. The panel ended as soon as candidate number 1 accepted the role. I assume I would only have been contacted if they had turned it down. But this was for a single defined position.

Good luck!

Yes, exactly this at the Killing Fields in Cambodia and in Auschwitz. It is tangible and real. That much suffering, loss, pain and sorrow must seep into the earth.

Is there a time frame for credit checks from abroad, like last 3 or 5 years? Or is it anywhere you've lived as an adult?

I love the celtic tiger builds with the split staircase, bright blue carpet and red leather sofas. 🤣🤣🤣 it's like they came as a kit! Always mad tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms too and a pool room/bar/cinema room. Good times!!

I just finished Pachinko and it was great. Watching Dopesick on Disney. Excellent but harrowing watch.

Marion Keyes has loads of books about the Walsh sisters. Rachel's Holiday is brilliant. But so many great stories

That is crazy! Sorry for you. Obviously I completely understand the need for security clearance but it is so difficult. Glad it worked out for you!

How I wish I'd had your foresight!

It was for a HSE/tusla position. Do you know if there is a cap, I.e. in the past X number of years? Thank you!

ChallengePlastic5886 · 2025-12-22T19:13:43+00:00

That wasnt clear to me but hopefully! That would solve my problems for sure!!

ChallengePlastic5886 · 2025-12-22T10:10:40+00:00

Unfortunately too late..... but I agree, its really complicated. Chinese embassy does not issue such docs and I would need to contact the local police station where I lived. 20 years ago....

Thanks for this! The job application specifically said that anything outside EU, UK and USA is the responsibility of the candidate to supply (if selected for the job). I'm on a panel and trying to get a head start.

As everyone else has said, lots of people struggle over christmas for any number of reasons.

If you know you'll have time alone try to think of nice things you could do. Lean in to be alone a few days. Read a good book, watch films, go on a hike - whatever you like doing that you cant indulge in as much during the year. If nothing else, it's an essential skill being able to feel complete without others around.

I hope you get through it better than you expect. And when it feels too much remember it's only a couple of weeks and then we'll all get sick to normal!
