I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Westmeath County Council (Mullingar, Westmeath)
Interview
3 interviewers on the panel, style was quiet old school. No back and forth just question and response, onto the next question.
Overall a relaxed experience, heavily competency based and want to know your knowledge about the council.
I asked a couple of questions about the culture, what my day to day would look like but as the panel were past-employees they were unable to tell me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you use personal effectiveness?
Do you have an example where you improved performance through people?
Can you tell us your understanding of the council, departments etc
What can you bring to this role?
