    You're one of the lucky few! I've work experience the length of my arm and have glowing references from restaurants, clothes shops, gift shops, chinese take away, publishing company, a playschool and I've worked with a newspaper and a magazine. I've worked with other companies for the experience, without pay and I have been a volunteer with New Dawn for about two years now, doing most of their promotional work and a lot of fundraising coordination.
    I will work ANYWHERE that I can get a job- but at the moment there is nothing there! I have bombarded all of Gorey with CV's as that's where I'm going to be over the summer. There's no point trying anywhere further afield since I have no way of getting there because the public transport in Gorey is a sham. It's hard enough for me to get into the town (I live in a village about 8 miles away) so I can't depend on it.
    I agree with what you're saying about the spongers that don't want to work or have no intentions to. I've been working since I was 14, during school terms and over holidays, often working two jobs at a time- but at the moment there is nothing available.
    To prove my point, a cinema is opening on the 11th June in Gorey. They received over 1,000 CV's including many from people with PHDs and Masters and most of them didn't even get an interview because nearly every job went to TY students. They had 40 interviews for 25 positions and every TY that got an interview got a job.

    So apologies that some of us are moaning, but we're trying to cope with reality.
    If youve done the playschool you should try trabolgan, always taking on for the summer, and moving to cork would be good craic working with loads your age. They love people who have already worked with kids, just a thought

    Ryanair would have been proud if they had thought of that publicity stunt...

    I'm suprised they didn't manage to get in how they are showing World Cup matches in 3d and streaming live Operas from across the world. :D

    seriously?
    you see no harm in the state putting resources into training & educating people in research for years upon years for it to be wasted
