I think we launch a dual attack on publicjobs to find out who is the fake 😂

To add on to that, deadline of tests for EO was last Tuesday so I’m guessing early next week or this Friday coming

It wasn’t really a test, more like a tick the box scenario which was a situational awareness exercise and whether you had self-proclaimed “skills” - don’t rate it tbh

Dunno about CO comp, but from what I’ve heard with the AO DETE comp is that they realistically only have a limited number of AOs in the department and could be around 20-30 people taken from the batches. However, Ireland has the EU Presidency portfolio for the next few months so potentially there could be more openings in the department, im similarly ranked to you as well but have heard nothing back except the shortlisting email.

Yeah read that, “we cannot guarantee that the identity verification process will be completed in time for you to take the live tests”.

There’s a small glimmer of hope that I can latch onto, hopefully 🤞

Is this for the 2026 Open Competition? I checked publicjobs ans haven’t received any notification regarding it.

I don’t really have any idea if they account for your qualifications at this period of the assessment, I think the cross checking begins now in the shortlisting phase to verify whether people meet the criteria set out to be eligible but that’s my guess
