Don't know if anyone is interested but since there was a thread on something similar not too long ago...An Garda Siochana are looking for a photographer.

All of their linked forms are in .doc format. WTF? O.o

Calina · 28-12-2007 4:32pm

Yep, this is the issue with publicjobs.ie

But anyway I won't be competing as I don't have the required diploma or medium format knowledge plus I'm seriously squeamish.

No diploma here otherwise I would've applied. Back to looking for a new job for me

Photoshop your diploma!

kensutz · 28-12-2007 5:05pm

Now that's an idea!!!

Dudess · 28-12-2007 5:07pm

Might be worth putting in Work & Jobs. Or better still, the new Emergency Services forum (in Soc).

Wonder if you can include the amount of time you watched CSI as your previous experiences.

The gross pay is not great really ,I'd say that job can be fairly tuff.

I think that would be a cool job., Id tell everyone i worked for CSI and that can call me gris from now on.,

It really wouldnt be a cool job, a guy I knew worked in the sub aqua unit and told me of some of the times he was diving in water with no visibility and he had to hold up whatever he found up to his mask to see what it was, need I say more!!

depends how desentisised to that **** you are i suppose and you wont know that for real until your first murder involving kids id imagine

Borderfox · 28-12-2007 6:49pm

Definitely, and you will have to photograph whatever he fishes up out of a river

Calina · 28-12-2007 7:50pm

Like I said, I'm squeamish.

it has decent potential to be an exciting job,
but to be fair, the exciting jobs would come about a few times a year with the rest being boring or worse.
and the pay doesn't exactly go anywhere, it is a little dead end. Is there anywhere to go from there
