    Hey Folks,

    The missus worked in a bank for two years. She quit there about a year ago as she had some property that she needed time out to refurbish and rent out in Poland.
    When she came back the jobs market had gone to the ground and there was no chance of a job back in the DMC. For the last six months or so she's been working in IKEA but has been keeping an eye out on the financial sector. She's applied for a few jobs but nothing has happened yet. She applied for a Fás course which involves some work experience with Merrill Lynch. The course details are below:

    http://www.irishjobs.ie/Jobs/F%C3%81S-Financial-Services-IT-Communications-6174424.aspx

    The only issue is that the course is quite short at 23 weeks, including 10 weeks work experience in Merrill Lynch. The quandry is does she quit IKEA where she is permanent part time or go for the course which might help her get back into working in the financial sector.

    Do any of you folk know anything about these courses? Are they worthwhile?

    Many thanks.
