    Nothing, unless you have a couple of years experience.

    Employers are getting extremely picky. Even tried for a job in Subway and they wanted "2-3 years Subway experience!!" - clearly more to making rolls than I thought! :rolleyes:

    My contract finishes at the end of the month, and I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm sending my CV out to a couple of companies in the same industry, but can see me being homeless quite soon.

    Hey all,

    Giving back our rented house tomorrow and just after thinking the grass is probably pretty long.

    Does anyone know someone to get in touch with about cutting the grass? Its a small area, couple of metre in the front and about 5m X 5m in the back. Even better if someone knows any young lads that are looking for a way to make some handy money. Its just off the Siobhan Mckenna road, looking onto the pitches beside dunnes.

    Thanks in advance guys

    I thought tenants were responsible for the inside of the house only - not the outside.

    Still it would be nice to do it - I have no idea who could help.

    Nice statement my friend but I doubt the dole is going to cover any poor sods who are out of work and paying off on a mortgage etc

    Personally I think that is a terrible attitude to have.
    1 you are leeching off the system
    2 are cans allowed on the beach?
    3 Suntanning can cause skin cancer!!

    I know its hard to find a job. Be innovative, cut lawns, busk, deliver papers, tourist type things, odd jobs... (I'm talking about students here)

    Hey man, if you can do it, do it! Being on the dole is tough but chillin at beach with some cans sure helps! That sounds great now as I sit in a hot office!

    I think this is where it is. It's hard to visualise things from a different perspective sometimes :) Basically walk around from the Cathedral car park heading towards the Bish school and as you cross the road it should be facing you over a little bit on your right hand side.

    There will be a big positive announcement tomorrow morning. It should be on the 11am local news ;)
    All the Head Dudes from Boston Scientific Globally are in Galway. The Taniste is going to be there and all the media including RTE are invited.

    There is feck all space up there so hopefully they are expanding to another nearby site - my speculation only

    ICE is the place to have your CV I think.

    You can do it in paint. Just open the image in paint and you can use any of the various tools to circle whatever you wish.

Job going in Currys. A couple of hotels were looking for receptionists and night porters. Lydon House Catering looking for the races. If you have a car Extra Vision in Tuam were looking. If you actually want a job and are worth a ****e there are some out there

    A €91m investment in Galway along with 45 jobs was announced this morning. Most of the jobs will be in R&D but I do believe they will be hiring Product Builders in the next few months. They might offer any positions to people they let go in the last 6 months.

    If any of you have good marketing/sales experience, I could have a small job for you. It'd be selling advertising space on a website, purely commission based but would be a quick job and a nice earner for the right person! ;)

    Experience essential though. I have a list of contacts and don't want them used up by shoddy effort. Familiarity with SCUBA diving in Ireland also an advantage (scuba website).

    Tried posting this on Adverts but they tried to charge even though it says on their Wiki that it's a completely free site. :mad:
