no but I can tell you how I escalated it
Good luck bud. I hope you get it if its right for you.
+1 I always console myself with the âtheir lossâ myth.
Pre-Celtic Tiger crash a friend of mine went for an internal promotion in the Central Bank. The role was in Banking Supervision. They asked him did he know what they did in this department. The scally replied that from reading the papers it seemed they didnât do a whole lot. He obviously didnât get the promotion but he was fucking vindicated shortly after.

A former colleague of mine went for a role as âgnvq coordinatorâ. He was doing so badly the interviewer asked if he knew what GNVQ stood for. He saud he didnât but that if he was appointed he would make it his business to find out

Best of luck bud. If itâs public service, youâll surely have a chance as theyâve to hit a certain quota in terms of ethnic diversity

How so? He saw it coming. They didnât.
ah lovely
They whole point of the âinterviewâ is to quietly make sure you arent a skanger or seeing as childer involved a peado. This is no longer in vogue in irish public life. Drop in âmy better half is a cork womanâ etc
Play up that you love the hurling and you âworkedâ in canada before, that you met a load of different ethnicities there and loved the experience.
DO NOT MENTION the shinners or an adulthood interest in any soccer team. If an interviewer happens to point out that tom brady is way overrated, bite your lip
Itâs a fairly stupid thing to say in an interview. If you donât want the job, why waste your time?
Did his self satisfaction make up for not getting a pay raise?

turn off your phone before you go in.
I was interviewing a lad before and he was going alright. His phone rang. He turned into an absolute ball of shit after it.
Ask plenty of questions. Your main avenue of finding out if the place will actually suit you, or if you are jumping into the fire. Anything you find in a job spec or on a website about the company/body will be the greatest wastage of words you will have come across since last logging onto the American Politics thread. Even the answers the interviewer will give might be just another collection of empty sentences, but read between the lines, read the body language and you will get the picture. Interviewers are often not experienced themselves and may let more slip than they intend to. Depending on the role, it may be more the interviewers under pressure to find someone than the interviewee trying to find a job.
I went for an interview once, was having a rough day/week, went in on the back foot, and only had 75% of the preparation exercise done.
When it was pointed out I didnât do parts X, Y, and Z, I said I know, but I did this instead!
They replied, this isnât what we asked you do, and I said I know, but I tried to work around itâŚ
They then asked if I was an expert in my chosen field and I said âNo. Thereâs always something to learn. Are you?â. They looked flabbergasted after it. At that stage, I knew my goose was cooked anyway.
Afterwards the recruitment agent rang up and gave out yards to me. Told me it was one of the worst interviews they had feedback on in a while. The fact that I fucked over the recruitment agent made me quite happy though in the end.

Why did you bother turning up at all?
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
