Working in other parts of EU then moving back to Ireland

    I'm applying for jobs, which are related to my degree. However, they are located in Poland and Czech Republic. One of the jobs involves software testing. I know that there are not many jobs like that in Ireland, but this is the type of work that would benefit me in the long term.

    I feel that if I work in a regular job abroad rather than spend a considerable amount of time travelling around and looking for jobs in Ireland, I'll have much more time to develop my project portfolio. Also, the standard of my portfolio will be much higher.

    If I work abroad for a year, will this experience be viewed negatively by employers in Ireland? I have already got three rejection letters from Ireland, and counting, so I have a valid excuse that I was looking hard for jobs there.

    Nope, work experience abroad is viewed positively.

    Generally viewed as positive, no reason for it not to be.
    There are plenty of software testing roles in Dublin at the moment though, you may not need to go abroad?
