The Public Appointments Service recently advertised a recruitment campaign for Clerical Officers in the Civil and Public Service.
Over 28,000 applications were received by the closing date and the competitive selection process is currently underway.
The selection process takes account of candidates' previous relevant experience. Should a candidate be invited to interview, due recognition will also be given at that stage to relevant work experience a candidate may have.
The Deputy may wish to note that the competition is not restricted to filling posts in any particular public service body.
