Just wondering if anyone would know of any shop/company looking for part time staff for stock room or similar work?

Moving back to Cork in a few weeks again for college and looking for a change in scenery.

Oasis in Mahon Point are hiring also.

Picked up some work with them a few years back when I was first out of college.

It depends on where you work with them - I was on a Google team so the earliest shift I had was 1-10, worst shift being 8pm-9am. The work wasn't exactly taxing, just taking calls and following a script/procedure on what to do with certain calls - when to escalate etc.

I didn't particularly enjoy my time there as it was a lonely job at times especially during night shifts but it was money so I was happy with that. One massive drawback during my time there was you didn't get an hour lunch, you got a half hour and 2x15min breaks - which meant you pretty much had to have your lunch with you, popping to the shop, either by foot or by car, meant you had to wolf down your food.

All that said, I worked there 5 years ago for a brief stint - while I don't see the nature of the work changing too much in that time - odds are the company is being ran differently and has different structures in place

*Edit - almost forgot - Congrats on the job Milly!

Just incase anyone is still looking now it was a while ago but the Silver Quay bar in Ballintemple was looking for part time staff and also Goldbergs were looking for staff... might be worth a look

Finally got full time work in my job so delighted... I haven't heard much about Voxpro but if you were looking in that area Abtran are suppose to be hiring all the time.. I would think you would have to put up with an awfull lot of hassle and abuse from customer but if you need the money..

Bit later, but if you're looking for work in that Customer Service/call centres, I'd recommend applying to Laya Healthcare. Would generally hire 3 to 4 times a year as staff move into different areas of the company after a while.

If you are looking for bar work the Silver Quay are always looking for staff.

Where else now, what kinda of work are you looking for

If your gonna be staying near UCC, SuperValu out by the Lough is within short cycle/walk distance. Also, try contacting the student centre, they are always employing students. Of course theres always DayBreak on College Road, The Rock & Sissy Youngs bars, and even Lennox's who would be reasonably big employers

I see Paragon worldwide in Blackpool are hiring, but its very vague http://www.paragonworldwide.ie/ - anyone know anything about them

Hi Guys

A UCC student here who's hankering after some part time employment come September. Does anyone have any guidance regarding where to apply to and also whom to apply to? A tad early for this craic maybe but a change in circumstances has really set a fire under me.

Thanks.

Pennys are taking on at the moment.
Chambers Bar advertised on FB.
Lots of shops with help wanted signs around town.

What happened there? I seen the picket line

linky

There is a one day a week tutoring job available (based in Cork). It starts next Monday so they need someone quick. It might possibly extend to two days for a certain period. It is set to last for a year but the individual would be free to take up a permanent position at any time if one became available during that time. They are looking for someone from a .NET background with certifications if possible (98-361, 98-364, 70-483 etc.). Some Java (Standard Edition) experience would be great too. Salary is decent considering it is not full-time.
The start date is next Monday so they are in a bit of a bind.
Pm me if you know of someone (or if that someone is yourself even better).
