I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Mayo County Council (Castlebar) in Apr 2017
Interview
Not too long - panel were friendly and professional. Didn't really get to develop scenarios in detail. It was difficult to relate my experience to the job at hand as panel kept it fairly high level .
