    I've forgotten exactly what those jobs entail, but I've heard nothing but bad things about that particular site/organisation.

    Yeah I suppose, but I just rage when I see stuff like that. I don't know why but it makes my blood boil.

    That site does look fairly dodgy alright. Especially seeing as it doesn't even tell you what sort of jobs they are, just "fundraising", which smacks of "chugging" to me.

    I think that's what they are, You know the "Hanley Centre"? or something like that, the emo kids that sell scratch cards in town, I think that's them.

    Or it could be another chugger agency, I dunno.

    The only ones I ever encountered were White, Underfed and sad looking, telling they'd be in trouble if they didnt sell all the tickets.

    Still told the to fúck off, (At one stage I actually did.....)

    Yeah or Grafton Street in my experience.

    Spotted a few spelling mistakes on it and all. Doesn't look like a professional set up at all.

    Carrolls are looking for people, seen an ad on www.jobs.ie yesterday

    With all the lay-offs, it will be tough getting a summer job :(

    I got 3 weeks of work as an ardcinnire at an Irish college. Was hoping for 9 weeks.

    Think I'll spend the rest of the summer pointing out people who pluralise words with "z" instead of "s" :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    Burn Beach Club, Bondi, D2, are all looking for promo staff to work weekends.;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 246 ✭✭live2thewire


    what would that entail


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Standing on the streets of Dublin handing out flyers trying to get people to go to your club.

    Surely one would have to be over 18 to work that job?

    Personally I'd be weary of anyone with 5 posts trying to get people on to the website.

    I'll be working in my local Centra all summer. Well most of it. I've been working there for about 3 and a half years now, I'm part of the furniture. To be honest, I don't even need the money too bad. :p

    Attack the post, not the poster, etc...

    Oh, and it's wary, not weary :)

    If it was only 1 post then maybe I could possibly be a spammer but since I actually replied to what others where saying regarding my question, its just not likely.
    If I had 500 posts what difference would It make?

    Anyhow lets get back on topic after his very controversial comment :rolleyes:

    I think i'm sorted for a job during the summer now, I posted a picture of myself online and playgirl magazine got in contact asking me to be on the cover for the summer months :pac:

    PS: But seriously its next to impossible finding a job, see the amount of people who where at the IKEA open days?
