moving to Dublin Ireland

mc2020

I'm an Italian (EU) citizen, I'll be coming to Dublin in August 2010, to get a job and live and work in Ireland. I'm bilingual (English & Italian), I'd need your advice about getting a job and settling in Ireland.
I'm fluent in English and Italian, good experience in IT, Internet, Call centre and Customer Service.
I'm looking to work hard at establishing a career in customer service representative (call centre), sales, marketing, promotions and potentially working upwards into management. I'm a man of integrity and professionalism, with ambition, strong work ethic and a willingness to learn, teach, develop and motivate others by good example. I have the desire to achieve both personally and professionally with strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Best Rgds.

Is bilingual your only "thing"? Any skills, education, talent? What age are you? How long are you planning to stay?

I know a few Italian girls who worked over here in hospitality (kitchens, waitresses, etc).
You might also be able to get a job as a customer service representative (callcentre) given that you are bilingual.

In that case, don't leave your women alone

www.recruitireland.ie may be of some help to your job search.

www.citizensinformation.ie may be of use to you - particularly the "Moving to Ireland" section to start with.

Call centre is probably the easiest option, they're always hiring. Pay isn't great but it can be great craic if your colleagues are nice.

Only a bad joke

You are fluent in English but if you would like to get some practise before interviewing etc, you can try the Language Exchange in the Ilac Centre Library and it also may afford you a chance to meet and socialise with some Irish people, I havent been, but I hear its quite friendly and relaxed and there is no fee

In terms of finding a job, I am sure it would be possible to set up interviews before arriving in the country and suggest you do this. If you use the jobs.ie website you will find lots of bilingual opportunities and can apply online. I believe there is a lot of demand for bilingual candidates and you should be able to secure interviews before arriving. Companies such as Hertz, UPS, Google and Facebook are all hiring at present.

cpl.ie are a good recruitment company and I would suggest arranging an interview with them. They currently represent HP who are also hiring at present.

There are specialist languages recruitment companies, for example Adecco.

Goodluck with the jobhunt and the move to Ireland. And order a Smithwicks in your local pub, its the real Irishmans drink (Not Guinness)
