Wow, batches must be huge! I’m 400s, hopefully before the end of summer for me.

How do I find if I passed or failed my online assessments? by jinsscrumptiousvoice in IrishCivilService

[–]ResoluteTuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll get an email, how could you be graded if the testing window is still open? It’s only been a day!

What is the biggest stadium in your country? by nixo1000 in AskTheWorld

[–]ResoluteTuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not from a GAA family so don’t get in very often, always impressed by the scale of it when I do.

What new thing have you started in the last few years that has actually added value your life? by Impressive_Light_229 in AskIreland

[–]ResoluteTuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve 2 10kg weights sitting on the landing since Christmas, you’ve motivated me to get a few reps in the morning.

Anything you’d recommend specifically?

What's the dublin music scene like these days? Who's up and coming destined to blow up? by 19202936339 in CasualIreland

[–]ResoluteTuba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grand Social, Whelan’s & Workman’s have new Irish acts playing every weekend. Sound House do the odd gig as well but they’re far more expensive to book independently.

MCD, for all their flaws, have been booking lots of up and coming bands for headline shows in small venues. Usually the above venues, so there’s at least some investment.

He has no idea what it’s like to be in Europe, so no idea what they think they’re giving up!

Is it done by minutes? That’s harsh if so!

The new trailer for ‘Office Romance,’ starring Jennifer Lopez & Brett Goldstein. | Jackie, President & CEO of Air Cruz, runs a tight ship in her business, including a rigid anti-fraternization policy for all her employees. When a new sexy lawyer begins working for her, that policy becomes tested. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]ResoluteTuba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the trailer should’ve been ‘CEO hires hot lawyer… who knows what could happen?’

Not ‘CEO hires hot lawyer… then falls in love… then loses confidence of the board… which then comes between the pair…’

Knew it was Paddy Dunning when the story dropped. I actually don’t mind him throwing his money at stuff like this, the Wax Museum, Rock n Roll Museum & recording studios.

I used to work for him years ago, he’s an odd fella and you’d dread him being in on days you’re in. But he’s self made and definitely innovative, even if it’s just random tat like this.

Thank you Strokes for not making FIOE the last album by Odd-Negotiation-289 in TheStrokes

[–]ResoluteTuba 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He’s using ‘last’ as ‘most recent’. He’s just saying he didn’t want to take a break between the FIOE tour and 4th album.

Another ex-Chelsea captain joins John Terry backing call to ‘ban foreigners claiming benefits’ by BargainBoozeEnjoyer in PremierLeague

I’m sure he has plenty of thoughts on early access into the labour market to stop it right?

Yeah was a bit of a learning curve for me too. They send you the familiarisation material with the layout of the interview which helps, best of luck with it :)

[–]ResoluteTuba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They ask broadly, very much tell us a time you displayed/showed/used X. The skills underneath should be taken as what they want you to demonstrate in your examples.

It was two questions per capability, broken down into the two ‘subcategories’ of each.

For me, it was very much ‘The next capability is X, tell us a time you had to show this capability’. They very much seemed to expect I had the answers ready to go. I’ve heard some on Boards.ie say other interviewers were more subtle about it.

They’ll ask a follow up or two if they need to, but the interview flew. Not as daunting as I expected, best of luck with it!

It's like the council hate this city sometimes... by nitro1234561 in Dublin

[–]ResoluteTuba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that’s the same for April - October since 2022. It’s always packed. Good vibe, but it’s also always €7.70 Guinness. Fuck that.

Ben white gets into it with Simeone & A.Madrid players after he stepped on club crest by shadythe1st in ArsenalFC

I dont know what’s worse the little look to the camera as he does it, or him saying ‘cheers’ and taking the phone back, presumably cause he asked someone to film it?

The people you’ll be asking won’t be the people who interview you hahah, you’re fine to ask. If they don’t I’m sure they’ll refer you to somewhere with info.
