    Does your college do a student job mailing list? Maybe have a chat to the people in the student union of your college, they might know of place of hiring (I'm sure companies contact them all the time looking for staff).

    Have you tried any of the promotional companies around Dublin? There's quite a few if you google search them.

    Look around the shops for Hiring signs.

    CV drop into big stores in shopping centres/department stores etc.

    I see HCL are recruiting part-time customer service folks to work at Eircom, here. Evenings & Weekends.

    They bring it to you—free.

    Try pubs and clubs.. Puts a damper on your weekend social life but you can make up for it during the week in college!! I worked in a pub all through college and loved it! :)

    You don't need a business plan to run a business.

    You just have to sell stuff for more than you paid for it.


    To get capital investment and/or other assistance from banks/other sources in order to buy stock or meet other costs you most likely will need a business plan at some stage

    The trick is to lie through your teeth on your CV, no experience? No problem, lie make something up. The Mod Flanders type here will tell you how not too but its a dog eat dog world out there and honesty counts for nothing.

    For example you're applying for Dunnes, why would Dunnes want to hire you when there are loads of people with experience? Well you have experience, you worked in a shop for 2 years and put you aunty down as a reference, instead of aunt though write something like shop manager!
