    Naas is a bollocks to get to, you're best bet is to get someone who drives to give you a lift or to get a taxi (which will cost a good bit)

    I know there's a bus that goes from NUIM to Naas for the commuters, but it doesn't do its first run to Naas until 1.05.

    Alternatively you could get a train into Dublin and get a bus from outside Connolly, my Nana loves that bus. It's the 126 route and it'll cost you 8.10 for a student return.

    Here's a timetable: http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1261645888-126.pdf

    Hope that's of some help.

    sorry to disappoint

    went pretty good i think...still have no clue what they do

    can anyone tell me what the Excel Organisation in Naas do?

    Probably might have helped to have found that out before the interview with them ( unless you were interviewing with an agency and they mentioned Excel ).

    Anyhow, hope it goes well for you...

    i had gone thru that entire website the night before the interview and to be honest i couldnt make heads or tails of it....honestly i was considering it as being a pyramid scheme at one stage

    I 'worked' for them for one day.

    Got the whole spiel about representing their clients - even though they never said who the hell their clients were.

    Went on the demo day and we ended up driving around a residential area - THEN i was told it was door-to-door selling. Trying to get people to join some charity i had never heard of!!
    Done that day, they offered me the job and that i should join the Business Development program...... Thought i'll try a day, that day was a nightmare.
    I'm involved in Sales and Development now BUT not at a residential cold calling level - you don't learn anything about selling at that level.

    We've all been stung with jobs like that. I hate the way the employ people, "A great business opportunity", "We evaluated your CV and think we might have a place for you in XXXXX". Then you turn up for the interview and they've got you selling make-up in the middle of Tesco's...

    Those BAS***Ds

    Worst thing is that some people who work for them really believe the "hype" around their job. They use business titles to motivate people, Jeez they're awful.

    In fairness though some guys can make a lot of money out of it, but I just don't like all the deceit surrounding the job :(
