Jobs in Sligo

Mr. Loverman

Hi all

I couldn't find a thread on jobs in Sligo so thought I would start one.

I know of a part-time sales job going at the moment:

Thanks Maggie! I will be surely sending you a CV As soon as I'm near a computer later. I'm on my phone at the moment.

Just one thing. What kind of hours will there be if I was to acquire a job as I live in Grange in Sligo and as I am aware the village food fare is in collooney. I just want to know this to see if I'd be capable of getting buses there!

Thanks!

TomJoe Wallace

Oh and also, it wasn't me sending you any messages! I don't think so anyway!

Maggie h

Well the hours would normally be flexble enough and to be honest if you are good at the job i would have no problems trying to accomadate them to suit the bus hours I firmly believe every good turn deserves another :p:o:o:o:cool: so we would worry about that when we needed to also we are having a car boot sale this sunday so if you guy's all wanna organise a car between ye and make some dosh this sunday for yourselves it could be of interest to you good luck xxx I know and understand how hard it is to get work so try and keep your chin up guy's things will come good eventually just keep a little faith

This has the potential to be a great thread both for employers like maggie and people looking for work. Its extremely fustrating right now, I have a masters degree in marketing but unfortunatly not alot of experience in a marketing role, so im either getting not experienced enough to get a marketing job or too qualified for some other jobs. I've been looking for anything decent to be honest but to no avail, im not someone who can lounge around all day doing nothing, I enjoy being active and busy.

So lets keep this thread busy and helping people

100% Agreed. It's so hard lately..
I have sent a CV to Maggie and now I am hoping for the best. I can say myself I generally fit the criteria but it's her decision that's final! Only time will tell!

I understand where you are coming from Cassi and understand that it can be the most tedious thing in existence looking for a job. I wish you the best of luck Cassi! As well as for myself! And yes. Keep this thread very active for everyone

Ever thought of doing some volunteering to keep you busy until you get a job? http://www.volunteer.ie/Search-Apply-for-a-new-Volunteer.html?92

There sometimes are volunteer marketing roles available on this site which would obviously help you gain experience and also keep you doing something. It's not ideal (no wages) but something to do anyway. Looks good on the CV too.

I've volunteered for 8 years with the Order of Malta ambulance corps and have been doing work at a volunteer radio station for the last year - 2 years ish.

I really wouldn't have anymore time for anymore!

How about with the Coach House one. Offering your services free for a few days. Explain you don't have experience but if they give you a chance and they like the idea it might lead to them offering you the job.

Apologies! Came up in the email that you replied to me!

Here is my expereince when came to looking for a job in Sligo.

I spent 3 months on the dole when I finished college, I ended up taking a job in Dublin-that was 9 years ago. I didnt want to move to Dublin but there was no openings for me in Sligo. I face a situation in work where I could be laid off in September and I am considering leaving Ireland for good. I take you have all tried the usual job sites?. Try and stay away from recruiters (I found them next to useless) and apply to companies directly it gives a better impression

I wish ye all the best of luck in your job hunt whatever your field is.

cassi

Elprez, thanks for the best wishes, hopefully you wont have to face moving away and things pick up with your work!

Im pretty resigned to the fact that I won't find work in Sligo. I've had to move abroad twice for work and don't want to do that again. I getting to the stage where I want to settle down and start working on a career, rather than just do jobs! So hopefully something will come up in this country!!

I hope that all the work is given to local contractors if at all possible!It would be a very poor reflection if work carried out on the summerhill college site was given to Northern contractors,bearing in mind how many past students are currently unemployed trades people,engineers...etc

UrbanSea

Bonzo's the government have to award the contract to whoever offers the best plan financially once the job has been advertised. Fines are imposed if they're just selected because they're Irish.

smily10

Thanks but im not 18 yet so wont be able to work there

UrbanSea

You don't have to be 18 to work in a pub,think that's just for pulling pints. Can still do glasses and all.

Yeah, its a bloody disgrace, Not a job going in this town, and any that you do apply for, they haven't got the good graces to even acknowledge you're application.

Have you found any work since Stewie?

Still looking. The number of applications totally out weigh the acknowledgments/responces received.

Unfortunatly the lack of communication does not just apply to Sligo employers.

To be fair, I'm pissed off sending in applications.:(

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere that was hiring in town?
I know there is next to none but any help would be greatly appreciated.

EverEvolving

Jobs in Sligo are like hens teeth at the moment. I know the Garavogue were hiring recently, might be worth handing in a cv there.

I'd check the FAS website, The Champion and the usual www.jobrapido.ie, http://www.connaughtjobs.ie/ etc. and keep an eye out for notices on windows.

UrbanSea

Lads might do to drop a CV into Centra Maugheraboy.
Plenty of students working there and they'll be going back in September,might get lucky.

Des? Seriously? That's not the experience I have with him. He kisses customer ass, which is fine, but he's a knob. I was delivering to him once and he got verbally abusive because I brought the lorry into his car park.

Most delivery drivers have fallen out with him.

UrbanSea

Butford I think you misread it,he said not one of the nicest.

Stilll,a job is a job

Places like Argos and Smiths toystore etc. would be worth trying especially for the Christmas rush, aside from that just bung your cv into as many shops and stores as possible and hope for the best.
