    What kind of work are you looking for?

    What kind of pay do you want (realistically)?

    Does your CV have the same level of spelling and grammar that your post does?

    I'm sure you'll find someone from Texas who'll give you a few thousand if you "sell" them The Spire!

    How old are you?

    What qualifications do you have?

    What experience do you have?

    It's very hard to help you with the limited amount of information you've given us.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭akamossy

    Have they told you that they only take on foreign staff?

    That's very serious discrimination if they have.

    Is there any chance of going back to these jobs?

    I assume it's just part-time work you're looking for and you'll be back in school in September?

    Pubs always need lounge girls.

    Restaurants always need waitresses.

    the office is fully staffed, waltons was only work experience and the olympia i had to leave there cause i had a dodgy heart so couldnt carry the crates.. and yeah its just part time work

    and pubs wont take ya on till your 18 and restaurants want experienced waitresses... iv checked out loads of ad's on the job websites and thats what they say about pubs and restaurants

    I take a lot of CVs in, in my job. The amount of spelling mistakes is laughable and the format is terrible. Some are 4 pages with 5 spaces between each line. Get someone experienced to look at it of you can.

    Set up a new email account for your CV then.

    Edit your post to take out your email address too.

    Lots of freaks online.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,015 ✭✭✭Epic Tissue


    spam bots are gonna get that email :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Might be better to remove your email address from the thread.

    I've sent you a gmail invite, maybe get yourself a gmail account in your name to use for such things as applying for jobs/serious type things?

    Most HR departments are packed full of idiots who do no work, like most work places I guess.
    You really need to stay on top of them to get anywhere, especially for non-specialised jobs where they are recruiting lots of people for the same role.
    Maybe you are already on top of them - don't let up.

    Recruiters will often email you, especially if you've applied online.
