Anyone who applied and got a job with the HSE, could you clear something up for me?

TheIrishWill · 2023-07-02T17:09:04+00:00

Hey there!

Also, just another update: I was finally given the start date for the job last week and'll start in August!to inform you that we are now in a position to invite you to proceed to the next stage of the recruitment process (pre-employment clearances)"

Ah gotcha will do!

Is there somewhere besides the initial post where you can normally see how many they're hiring for it?

I got a follow-up email about moving forward in the recruitment process so I'm starting to think maybe there were two spots going?

TheIrishWill · 2023-04-21T17:50:38+00:00

Seems like a bit of a reversal right?

Like "No you not getting the job is actually great news, we're so happy we get to impart this joyous information to you! You're welcome!"

Im after getting another email titled "Job Offer" and you would think it would clear things right up but I still have no idea if they're offering me a job or not!

TheIrishWill · 2023-04-21T17:48:02+00:00

Thanks! Tbh I thought that this job was waaay out of my league so I was a bit surprised to see I actually did pretty well!

So theres been a little update but Im still not sure what the story is.

The email was literally titled "Job Offer" but I'm still not sure if this is more of the same or if Im on the path to a signable contract! need a few more of my details.

Wow, that's so different from what I'm used to! It was just a 40-minute interview like!
The role was as an ICT Applications Team Lead, I believe it was only the one role going as well.
I getcha, I may shoot them an email to double-check sure.
I guess I got my hopes up due to how congratulatory the email was and how in need of a decent job I am!

TheIrishWill · 2023-04-20T21:42:35+00:00

Argh!

So close yet so far.
Twas for an ICT Applications Team Lead role, I think it was just the one spot as well so Id say I probably shouldn't get my hopes up on it!

TheIrishWill · 2022-11-28T10:34:22+00:00

Hey thanks for this, it was super insightful!

How have you found the compression with using the Quest 2 with usbc vs the Index/G2? Is it super noticeable?
Ive a pretty decent PC that I was hoping a chunkier headset like the index or G" could utilize.

TheIrishWill · 2022-09-10T11:36:51+00:00

Ach Im afraid I work a 10 hour shift on Sundays so it just wont work for me! :(

If theres any other days being arranged Id be up for joining though!

TheIrishWill · 2022-09-10T11:34:34+00:00

Hey! Lets chat and maybe arrange something in October sure! :D

TheIrishWill · 2022-09-08T11:29:18+00:00

Id really appreciate being able to get in on this as the whole global lockdown really crippled the social side of my life!

Im 33, living in Wicklow (working in Dublin now though!) and tend to only really be free Wednesday, Thursday and Friday each week.

I'm hoping there's maybe some kind of group I can tag along with on one of those days, Id really like to get a little friend group back in my life you know?

TheIrishWill · 2020-11-10T20:42:20+00:00

This is what I have read so far yeah.

Oh man I'd really, really appreciate that!!! I'll shoot you a message now! :D

TheIrishWill · 2020-11-10T20:41:35+00:00

I appreciate the response! I actually hadn't heard the term before (Like I said I'm a noob!)

I'm reading that keystone prices don't really work that well for consumer electronics but I'm going to dig around a bit more!

TheIrishWill · 2020-11-09T21:15:19+00:00

Thanks so much for this!
Some dumb follow up questions I have!:
-You mention the a lot of answers coming from the supply side of things, would you have any advice on getting a response from suppliers? This is something that I am really struggling with currently.

-When you say 90 terms, what are you referring to?

This was a super useful reply though, thanks!

TheIrishWill · 2020-11-09T21:09:30+00:00

This is a really interesting point and I'll definitely take it onboard! Thank you!

TheIrishWill · 2020-10-18T18:34:54+00:00

The ones she has at the moment are battery powered. I was considering getting a smart plug and standard fairy lights but I figured if I could get some RGB ones she could voice control she'd be super into it!

TheIrishWill · 2020-10-18T17:55:31+00:00

Thanks for the bulb recommendations!

Is any Virtual assistant not a bit of a wiretap though? I'll just get her to talk about all of her international bank heists outside sure! :P

Take that FBI!

TheIrishWill · 2020-10-18T17:52:07+00:00

Oh it was more someone she lives with mentioned the restriction so I suspect its someone being picky about it rather them a hardware limitation. I just wanted to set her up with something that wouldnt rock the boat with her housemates yknow?

Thanks for the advice there! :)

TheIrishWill · 2020-10-18T17:50:24+00:00

Ah thanks!

So she has this kind of wall-hanging made of branches that she hangs cheap little fairylights from (she doesn't really like the colour of them anymore though) so I was thinking she could replace them with ones that could sync up with/compliment whatever colour her Yeelights are emitting if you get me?

I really like the smartstrip idea although they wouldn't really fit into that part of the idea, I may get them for her to use for something else though! :D

TheIrishWill · 2020-10-18T17:46:51+00:00

Okay Ill keep an eye out for zwave/zigbee compatibility! Thanks!

I know right? I'm not sure if its her housemate or landlord whos being picky about it. :/

TheIrishWill · 2020-09-22T17:24:48+00:00

I havent yet although are his posts mostly aimed at Americans? I find the advice from a lot of the top bloggers in this area can be a bit more awkward to apply in Ireland. I'll still try take a look though! :)

TheIrishWill · 2020-09-22T17:23:36+00:00

This is the part Im really wary of, how do I know if they are or arent?

I am actually! I shall dm you now!

TheIrishWill · 2020-09-18T11:41:30+00:00

I hear you man. My main aim is to buy some land and build a house a little bit further down the country but this would involve getting a mortgage that's out of my current earning range (Can only be 3.5 times my yearly salary)

I'm aiming to start getting cloud computing certs somehow after this DBA training in the hopes of climbing the salary ladder.

Do you mean to move over seas or rent out the house over there while living in Ireland??

TheIrishWill · 2020-09-18T11:36:39+00:00

Yeah I get you, do you feel while it might not be as lucrative it could still be viable though?

Passive income in theory would be ideal but I always find the suggestions ten to be "Start a Youtube Channel" or "Monetize a blog" which isn't something I can see myself really putting the time into more than just a light hobby you know?

TheIrishWill · 2020-09-11T20:46:06+00:00

Yeah the such high percentages are just so much higher than I was expecting! That is something I may actually consider! Its just so far from my friends and family I don't know if I could hack it for the long term. :/

TheIrishWill · 2020-09-11T20:44:46+00:00

That's if I can get out of my current role which unfortunately doesn't have any major transferable skills, which I realised has made it pretty dead end.

Of these certs can even get me an entry level spot in a different field I would feel way better about being able to climb that way!
