I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Marine Institute (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2021
Interview
This was an Irish public service interview based around a number of competencies. There was a very long gap between applying and hearing back. One interview, that was it. There were a number of people on the interview panel, and all seemed disinterested.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Give me an example how you had to influence.." and variations around that for the six competencies.
