3 Applying for roles with the Public Appointments Service Pádraig Love Head of Corporate Services 18 th April 2012
4 PAS Clients
5 Some Legal Posts Recently Handled Chief State Solicitor Assistant Chief State Solicitor Bureau Legal Officer, CAB Advisory Counsel in the AG s Head of Legal Affairs in Garda Síochána Head of Directing Division, DPP Chief Prosecution Solicitor, DPP Assistant Parliamentary Counsel Law Agent in Galway and Kerry County Councils Military Judge ALSO advertise posts on for universities and International Bodies including EPSO Lawyer Linguists
6 Overview of typical competition Job outline and description agreed with client Essential and desirable criteria set Vacancy is advertised through and other media, e.g. Newspapers, journals etc; Applicants are asked to either submit a structured application form or a CV with a covering letter; Application forms are shortlisted and successful candidates are invited to the next stage of the assessment process which may include: Interview against pre-defined competencies Personality Questionnaire Presentation on a relevant topic Final Interview
7 Overview of typical competition Typically there is a very high calibre of candidates for roles and therefore all stages, in particular shortlisting, are highly competitive Shortlisting may be carried out against the required competencies drawn up by reference to the essential and desirable criteria For management posts, the level and extent of experience in leadership and management will be a factor Applications are reviewed by the full panel of assessors Those shortlisted are invited to the next stage The competition normally generates an order of merit Background checks are done prior to appointment
8 Advice on the application process Never enter a selection process lightly Reflect on the requirements for the job, the essential criteria and the skills/competencies identified as important and objectively consider whether or not you meet all the requirements; Think about your career and key achievements over the last year/ three years/ five years which are relevant to the role you are applying for; Document these examples for use either in a structured application form, your supporting letter or during the interview; Consider how best to present your work to convince the Board that you have the required level of managerial experience, i.e. responsibility for resources, staff etc.
9 Advice on the application process, contd. Think about the new tasks and responsibilities involved in the new post; Consider the step up for you personally and how you can communicate your ability to do this; Reflect on the context in which the job you are applying for exists and the strategic issues impacting on it. Source additional information if required to help inform you; Think about what the interviewer will want to know and the questions they might have about you.
10 Completing the Application form Remember that your Application form must bring you through the shortlisting process and is a first impression for board members; You need to convey key information about your experience concisely You may be asked to provide an example under each of the required competencies that demonstrates your skills/ experiences; Describe the context/ situation, the key stakeholders, your particular role, the outcome and key learning; There may be a word limit which you must abide by; a concise description but one understandable by non-legal assessors; If no examples are required, tailor your CV to emphasise the experience/skills most relevant to the role.
11 Problem areas identified in applications Generic approach to each post big problem Insufficient information/too much information Application forms with large numbers of errors; Getting dates wrong so that there are large gaps on the application form or inconsistencies; Using tiny fonts to fill in required text boxes: impossible to read and very annoying for interviewers; Using the same example for most/all competencies; Only using examples that are several years old; Using large amounts of jargon or technical language; Completing the application form at the very last minute and then encountering difficulties submitting it.
12 The Interview Successful candidates are invited to interview which may comprise a preliminary and main interview; Interviews are typically semi-structured; the required competencies will be explored and candidates are likely to be questioned on their vision for the role, the key challenges within it etc. There are typically 3-5 interviewers on the Board and the Chair will give you an overview of the process and the roles of the different board members; Notes will be taken during the interview.
13 Key Advice during the Interview Listen to the questions that you are asked If you re not clear what is being asked, look for clarification; Gather your thoughts before answering; don t worry about a short pause but make the best use of your time; Don t rely on your experience/ application form to do the selling for you; If you don t know an answer, it is better to be honest than try to bluff unconvincingly; Expect a challenging interview the Board will have the flexibility to ask the questions they feel are important and follow up on any element of your answers that they wish;
14 Mistakes made during interviews Candidates jumping in with an answer rather than answering the question asked; Some candidates demonstrate clear skills in their current role but do not give evidence of the ability to work in the role they are applying for or have a clear rationale for why they are applying for the role; As at the application stage, candidates must convince the board that they have the required skills and experience to perform effectively in the role, particularly if the role is different to their previous experience.
