JOBS IN WATERFORD.

PTH2009

Try Hasbro there looking for people

Would not mind a job in Hasbro but I'd have no chance. No manufacturing experience and my highest education is a third level higher cert. I have a part time retail job but it won't pay the bills forever. Best of luck to anyone applying for Hasbro.

I worked in hasbro a number of years back. Only had my leaving cert and didn't have any manufacturing experience. Had some laugh out there for the summer. Nice shifts and meet some really nice people.

Apply away, don't need experience for a General Op, once you get through the test to see how fast you can work with your hands you will be grand.

Kind of like an aptitude test.

You have a board in front of you with holes in it, and a load of pegs and washers and you are timed to see how fast you put the pegs on the board and can only use one hand at time and you are swapped hands too.

Presumably they'll just pick those who have already done this gig. They might as well send out a circular.

As an old hand can you tell me what the evening shift hours are and is the hourly rate higher? I see they advertise "up to 25 hours per week" for that.

They take on new staff as well as call back their regular staff, some of them on evenings are there 20 years.
Evenings are 25 hours, work Mon til Thurs.
You start off at around 10 an hour, but if there so long it increases a bit and if you packing or feeding the line it extra again.

Well I'm doing exams right now, so hoping it will be something for the summer, would be a good experience.

Bull****. There is no coffin. There's still a long way to go but I genuinely believe Waterford has a bright future in store. I can only speak from personal experience but there's already a huge amount of tourists around. With the summer covered by the usual tourists and Christmas somewhat improved by Winterval tourists from all over Ireland, I think Waterford is becoming a big name again. Obviously I can only speak for one industry but things are on the up for Waterford city & county. I had some American customers in tonight who had passed through Dungarvan and were very enamoured with it. I had another couple on their last night in Ireland, yet to hear traditional Irish music and were delighted to find somewhere with live trad music.

As a blow-in myself, despite living here for 16 years, I was only aware of the basics of Waterford history. Recently I was invited to a short tour of the Bishop's Palace and Waterford Museum of Treasures. Suffice to say I was genuinely amazed - not knowing so much was literally inches from where I worked. Waterford has a huge amount to offer and not only to tourists but with a highly skilled workforce from WIT and TSSG also to technical and research roles.

Waterford is only going to get better and better.
