Hey ryan91, there was 3 pages of jobs in the Advertiser this week, definitely worth checking out. If you could say what kind of job you are looking for and what experience or qualifications you have, that might help people to give you a more specific response.

sorry, i've seen those but i'm kinda lookin for a job in retail, stackin shelves that kinda stuff, i'm in college doin business now and used to work for tesco.

I dont know if your interested but somebody on here might. The KFC in Briarhill that is being built at the moment has a sign up on the scaffolding saying they are looking for people.

Its probably opening in a month or two.

CHEERS!!!!!!

Millets (outdoors store) in the Galway SC are looking for part time staff.

Don't suppose anyone saw a number or email address on the KFC scaffolding? I googled them and got nothing.

Not sure if I have it remembered correctly but the email address on the banner is recruitment@mbccfoodsireland.com, MBCC Foods being the parent company of KFC in Ireland...

Google threw up this as contact details for MBCC.

I live right near there - I'll have a look at the sign on KFC tomorrow for you

sorry just noticed them as i was walking by. Champion sports is on the bottom floor of that shopping centre with pennys in it, and the head shops are just off shop street. I know possibly the worst directions ever!

weird this website just came up on my facebook as I switched windows after posting the comment above. They specialise in part time work for students, no harm checking it out.

Hi there,

After a redundancy in Dublin late last year, I decided to move to Galway to live with my boyfriend.

I am having difficulty finding work here. I've joined all the recruitment websites I can find, have email alerts on the job websites, physically gone into places with my CV.

Im going to keep trying obviously but does anyone have any suggestions of what else I could be doing. I'd do anything really. Preferably not pubwork though as I have a commitment in Dublin on a Friday evening.

Thanks for your help.:)

There's nothing.

Welcome to Galway!

galwayrush

Never give up.Something will turn up.:)

Best of luck searching. I found Galway to be a dead end in my line of work and so I had to leave to get something.

Very hard to find anything out there, incredibly difficult especially in Galway, these days it's nice just to get a reply saying "Thanks, but no thanks" rather than the usual run of the mill of not getting any response at all.

They've been hiring operators in Medtronic through Cregg recruitment. It's not secure work but they're projected to be busy for the rest of the year so chances of staying are good.

You can apply for jobs internally that would have more security once you're in.

Welcome to the Galway Unemployment Club!

More jobs have been opening up lately: I applied for a whopping FOUR today, and have another two to apply for tomorrow. One or two are even in my field, and the others are ones that I do have a vague chance of being considered for, even though they're vastly different to what I've done before (and fairly close to minimum wage).

This is a lot, compared to what there was before.

That said, jobs are still very tightly held here, I'm sure there's a lot of who you know mattering most.

Avaya (aka Nortel) are hiring order managers.

Wurly

Hey folks.

Thanks a million for the responses on the thread. It means a lot.

Sorry to hear that there are people in the same boat as me. But in a way, it's comforting. All I hear from my Dublin friends is 'it's hard but there ARE jobs out there'.. And i'm like - not in Galway there ain't.;)

I'm going to follow up on the suggestions given too, really appreciate that.

It just appears that unless you're an engineer or a software developer, you're pretty much screwed.:rolleyes:

I have a small business that i'm going to set up here in Galway but due to so many people being out of work, I don't know if i'll get much business. That's the worry. If I had even a few part time hours somewhere, it would help so much.

I'll keep trying though.:)

I was going past the off-licence (Slainte, near the private bus depot) about 3-4 days ago. They have a notice up looking for part-time staff. I don't know the working hours/days but it may be worth looking into if you don't mind the work. Better than a pub I'm sure.

Jobs going in Subway on Foster Street, They were looking for staff in The Skeff and Cookes..but that was a while ago. Hogans are looking for a Deli assistant. KFC are looking for an Assistant Manager and Team Leaders and will most likely be looking for assistants too. Happy Days are also looking for staff. HP seem to be looking for weekend workers for demo'ing printer,laptops etc.
