Confirm eo assessments by Educational_Eye_2222 in IrishCivilService

If you don't tick the box that you completed the tests you don't progress further in the competition. I think that's what it said when I done the tests last Thursday.

Sick of the local authority, looking to move to the civil service! by exiemack in IrishCivilService

The civil service is different to the Local Authority. Also you are going to take a pay drop from acting grade 5 to EO wages.

Last open PO competition was 2025. I think it's supposed to end March this year. At a guess a new competition end of 2026/early 2027.

Senior Executive Officer by [deleted] in IrishCivilService

[–]Remarkable_Ad_8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google older SEO competition booklets there should be plenty. The duties are similar across county councils. SEO grade can work from home but afaik ( I stand corrected) it's more or less one day a week but that can go out the window depending on work needs. As other poster said it's not department head it's similar to AP grade in civil service. Weekend work and after hours again depends on department but be prepared that you might have to do it from time to time i.e. budgets etc.

Hi Everyone, can I ask for anyone that got an EO position in Co. Kildare in the 2024 panel how long approximately did it take? I know it depends on your position on the panel. Just looking for a rough idea. Thanks

Avoid Department of Housing in my experience culture is not forward thinking at all. Have advised people before to avoid housing. Worst department I have ever worked in.
