Where are all the jobs?

Kark

Hey!

I've been unemployed a while now and REALLY want to get back into working,
Any of you know who's hiring in Cork at the moment?

Whatever i can get lol!
Have shop and some call centre experience so something in that area

I heard BoyleSports were doing interviews recently, apparently they rarely advertise, they just collect the CVs that were handed in to the shops. Might be worth a try, knowing absolutely nothing about betting is often an advantage in their eyes.

Ok, might give that a go! I have no clue about betting.... Why would they see that as an advantage?

I've seen dozens of places with signs up in town. Don't know if you're male or female, but Oasis is definitely looking for someone.

Dan Dare

Also Sam McAuley's in Blackpool Shopping Centre had a notice yesterday in their window.

NoDice

They're also looking for someone in that cafe next to the Gate cinema. It says you need two years barrista experience but the sign has been up over two months now and its easy to train someone in on making different coffees.

Well, it's defo not a disadvantage, a girl I know was asked in her interview and she said she had no clue, they said that was completely fine. In saying that the manager of my local betting office used to work in the pub near it years ago and was a daily customer of the bookies. I suppose it's like a non drinker being employed as a barperson, could be seen as a good thing. You'll learn all the bettig stuff very very quickly if you do get a job off them.

2 years experience, that's insane!
I have a bit of experience there absolutely hate this type of work as I'm a bit clutzy!!

Ya two years is mad for a coffee shop, worth a shot if nothing else goes well. Best of luck in the job hunt dude.

Maybe this thread should be stickied? Whenever we see a job posting we could pop it up here for anyone looking??? Could be handy for alot of people??

Yeah sure! how do you do that?

LilMrsDahamsta

Currys in Mahon Point Retail Park also have a sign in the window for full- and part-time staff. Saw it today. Asking for CVs to be placed in a box on reception desk (which I would guess is their way of giving you the once over before even bothering to read).

Good luck!

All very helpful posts in pointing the OP in the direction of where they may get work, top class folks.

Ah that took a while :rolleyes:

i dont read the first post, i read the title.

Is that directed at me ? If so I was in the pub for an hour so didn't reply to the posts until I got back. Anyone who thinks those posts are remotely helpful to the OP is a total and utter fu*ktard. I actually reckon they are quite insensitive, not what I would expect to see in the generally helpful Cork City board.

corkcomp

in fairness lads.. cop on.. all it will take is for one person to stop responding and something might be salvaged of the OP's thread..

mik_da_man

to the OP - Bord Gais are Hiring.

To RJ - chill out and get down off that high horse ffs

How does that help the OP, questioning how long it took me to reply to a post. I'm not on a high horse old boy.

If it stops people acting the cnut and ruining the OP's thread then yes it is helpful, not everyone is lucky enough to have a job and shows alot about a person when they rub jobs in peoples faces

i dont think anyone is rubbing anything here. if ya join the thread, join with something of relevance about jobs. no need to be aggressive. and its not luck, its all about being in the right place at the right time. luck doesnt come into it.

At this point the thread went down the toilet.

Hey again, sorry I got a bit busy yesterday. I'll send a message onto a Mod about getting this stickied. Might start a new one due to the negativity unless they're happy to go with this one.

Anytime we see a job posting we could pop it up here for anyone who needs it?

Best of luck in the job hunt again Kark, it can be hard to find a job these days, hope you're not too long waiting.

I think you were right though it can be hard not to see red sometimes. I sent a message to castie and asked if she thought we should start a new one. I can't see someone who has been unemployed for a long time appreciating people boasting about having jobs/job offers, but most of us are adults here and if Castie thinks it's cool to keep then cool.

I think it's a great idea, the Dublin City forum has the same thread! I bet it's helped loads of people, even the lurkers you know?

Better stop chatting here! Back to the chit chat thread!! lol :D

castie

Created available jobs thread and sticked.
