    Hi, I'm just finished my degree now and am looking for my 1st real job.
    I'd prefer to stay in my home town in the West (want to save money) and I'm reluctant to go to Dublin. I've checked all the job websites and nearly every job is for Dublin!! All the grad. programs seem to be based in Dub aswell...
    Just wondering what are others experiences with this

    Most big companies base their head offices in Dublin, and it's mostly big companies who run graduate programmes, hence most grad. programmes are in Dublin. You may be better off checking local papers to see if any small/local companies are hiring.

    Depends on the industry as well. Business/Commerce type grad progs would be mostly based in Dublin.

    Many pharmaceutical companies are based outside of Dublin so you'd have better luck getting a job close to home in that industry.

    You just have to go to where the work is I'm afraid.

    Exactly - plenty of non-Dublin grad jobs, a friend of mine just got one in Seagate in Derry, but obviously, the big companies advertise more heavily in universities, and they're mostly based in Dublin. There's no shortage of local companies, but they are hard to find...

    Why don't you try that website movewest or intothewest ( can't think of name right now). It's constantly being advertised

    Madge, I'm working in an IT company in the West. You are right about saving a bundle of money. If you want to save money for a deposit for a house, or a good car, then your best bet is to live at home with parents and find a job locally. However, Dublin has a better range of high tech jobs, so you might have to go there.

    You might try word of mouth to get a good job locally. Sometimes companies in the West struggle to find graduates who are more interested in living in cities, and also there can be a high turnover as workers leave to take up higher paid jobs in cities. So I'd say there are plenty of jobs out there in the West for graduates.
