The companies at Arclabs are finding it very difficult to find qualified & experienced workers for these roles.

I don't know if any of you heard but I've been told that Bausch & Lomb are taking on brand new general ops and that previous factory experience isn't at all necessary. So if you're out of work and fancy making good money, do up a good cv and cover letter and hand them in. There would be an aptitude test but I can't imagine it'd be too taxing.

Strange, it says on the website that there are no jobs available at all in the Waterford Plant! Do you think it would be worthwhile going in there personally and just handing in a CV?

Can't do any harm anyway. I'm out of work at the moment so only heard from someone who heard from someone, you know? But there was definitely talk that it was going to happen a few weeks ago. Could be that they've enough CVs taken in but I don't know that jobs are advertised on that site much anyway.

Usual tips apply. Be presentable even if just handing in a CV. Make sure it's well laid out. Put it in an A4 envelope with a cover letter and make sure they're not folded. All the things to ensure your CV isn't rejected out of hand.

i work out in B&L and there was aptitude tests held on-site last week-i think that they use a recruitment agency to handle cv's-but sure get in contact with them all the same-and best of luck to anyone who wishes to apply-been there 9 years and it's not the worst place in the world to be fair

Thanks. I might make the spin out to Waterford during the week. No harm in trying. Been out of work since Mid March myself and it's getting to be a bit of a grind here at home.

Worked there for 9 and a half years and can't say a bad thing about the place. Once you get around shift work, you're flying. Was half tempted to reapply at one stage.

Yeah have to agree Ken. I'm there 5 years now and am happy out. If you're ok with shift, you get well-rewarded for it and not just in pure financial terms. You get your scheduled breaks, decent holidays, free doctor etc. Really not a bad place to work.
