I applied for Clerical Positions in the Civil Service which is handled through PublicJobs.ie some time ago. I recently got an invitation to "stage 2" which is a supervised exam but it (the exam, not any potential job) is being held in Dublin at 8am and I live 4 hours from Dublin (and we only have one car which is necessary for children to get to school & public transport cannot get me to Dublin for 8am). As I really want a job I will do my utmost to make it to this appointment but it will require serious juggling to get there (I have rung them; they do not change appointments but if I miss my slot I can take my chances that they'll let me in for a later one). I would be interested to know though whether there is a genuine chance of a job at the end of this process. I understand that it is a queuing system (currently I am #180 in my area) but I have often heard that civil service jobs are who you know not what you know and as I am not friendly with any politicians I will not ever get a CS job. Anyone?
