I'm out of work over a year now and it's so so hard to take knock after knock. I've applied for numerous jobs and I follow them up the best I can and still nothing.

It's so frustration to not even get a reply to an application and when you ring them to follow up some are nice about it but others are not. I have a feeling it's my age that's stopping me getting a job as I had my CV professional done and I have qualifications coming out my ears.

I really feel for you. Are you getting help from the DSP? They have budget for any help you might need.

If you need industry certs or driving liecences, they can cover the cost etc Your case advisor can advise further.

Try leaving out some early jobs so your age is less apparent. I know you should never have to do this but play the game! There are professional career advisors you can pay to visit that might be able help, if you are industry specific.

Are you from Waterford, what your networking like? Do you ever hear of any jobs in your sector? Are you in LinkedIn? (I had to get a younger cousin to set up mine!)

Also you probably know you should be changing your CV for each job to fit the brief. Again mention at least 3 ways you fit the brief in your cover letter.

Can I ask what area you are looking in?

Thanks for the helpful tips. Two areas that I'm qualified for are IT and Pharma. I have other qualifications and have worked in other industries and retail but those are the two that I want but at this moment in time anything will do as it's easier to get employment if you are in employment.

Have you applied to West Pharma?

Waterford is a hard place to get a full time job if you dont have Qualifications or knw someone tbh (even that factor is hard too come by now). I have a few qualifications but nothing earth shattering

From all the jobs ive appiled for i can count on one hand the amount of interviews i got. It can get tiring to apply for jobs and not here anything back

You need to re-invent yourself! Get away from what you are doing and get

training in something new and different. If you can't or won't do that, you need

to look at other alternatives such as looking for work in other counties.

Absolutely nothing is going to happen employment wise for the long

foreseeable future and anyone who thinks differently are only deceiving themselves.

I'm sick to the teeth of how little has ben done by elected representatives both at local and national level. DC & JH are only here for photo opportunities as for Mary Butler v Ciara Conway, what's the difference? Jokes of representatives!
All sideline politicians, waiting to see what way the wind in blowing before forming an opinion, if they're allowed one!

Tell me then all about the current positive happenings in Waterford?

Finally got work started today as tech support, pay is average enough but beats the dole hands down, it's a call centre but it's a start and the training went well today and I was pleasantly surprised and how well they treat new people, early days I know but I'll give it my best shot.

Talking on the phone would scare me away from those kind of jobs

Best of luck in the role

They don't have the jobs live yet anywhere to apply for, do they?

Something should be done about this!
There are areas across the country that need employment and to bring in
more migrants to a country that is in a housing crisis is just ridiculous!

longshanks

They can't fill the vacancies locally. What would you have them do?

Its a weird one. If that warehouse was in Waterford the jobs would be gone in an act

Id hate to be on the dole full time and been stuck at home 24/7 would not be good for the mind/well being. No matter how badly paid a job may be its a job and youre out meeting people, gaining experience etc

bit off topic but Id love to do a degree course part time/Night time but its way too expensive and a daytime course would not suite. in fairness the WCFE (waterford college of further education) is a good institute but the courses are FETAC credited at the end of the day and that means very little in gaining good quality employment. Employers are going to overlook Fetac qualifed applicants for Degree/third level qualifed applicants.

Things are getting better in Waterford job wise thankfully as a load of companies have been advertising for jobs the last few weeks

WCFE have some excellent courses which go up to advanced certs . Most employers wont look over certs once you have a bit of experience as well. If you have an advanced cert and 2-3 years experience it will be equivalent to most degrees . Unfortunately a degree is not a pass to a job.

again off topic.

Done 2 courses in the past there. I done the first year of the Sound Engineering course in 2007/08, it was a good course but as it was the first year of it there were a few blips and stuff regarding course structure and content. heard its an unreal course now.

as a whole the irish education system is a bit backward. In the leaving its all about the points and if u dont get enough for what you want than your a failure in the eyes of the stone age secondary teacher.

Coming up to this time of year Retail is your bread and butter here, Penny's, Dunnes, Dealz, Argos and pretty much any "Big" store would traditionally take on for the Oct-Dec weeks. Most likely get let go in January but go in and do a good job and you'd never know.
