How does one "come home with a job"? And to be completely blunt I wouldn't try. Emigrate. G'wan.

<Serious response.>

You could try asking this in the Dublin forum also if you had any contacts you could ask?

You want to move a pub from Dublin to your home in Meath

How experienced are you really though? How many times have you seen the film Cocktail? :cool:

There is a way you can find out OP. . . . .

Trust me, they won't come knocking on your door. Do up a CV, visit Dublin and find out.

Well you're probably the wrong person to ask!

Do up about 100 cv's take a bus to dublin with a return ticket to meath €20?

call into ANY pub you see and ask to speak to the manager and hand in your CV. It's better than the dole it will cost you a day.

Best of luck mate, from someone who recently got lucky in a position moving to dublin has been the best decision of my life.

I don't really see that happening.

Leftist · 26-10-2011 2:30pm

Guaranteed to come home with a job, someone will be meeting you at connolly station upon your arrival. I hope you like lots of money?

Jesus Wept · 26-10-2011 2:32pm

Good luck op.

Vicxas · 26-10-2011 2:33pm

Id go online first, jobs.ie and monster.ie usually have most of the bar jobs in dublin on the website.

What town are you coming from in meath?

Yes your right.There seem to be plenty of jobs on jobs.ie etc.But i think knocking on doors is the best policy.

Sky King · 26-10-2011 2:34pm

If you're forced to leave Meath anyway, why not go somewhere nice instead of that depressing filthy drug-riddled ****hole capital of ours?

During the week most bars in Dublin resemble Moe's Tavern. Nobody in em except a handful of hardcore boozers. It's definitely a dying trade.

Is there something else you could do aside from bartending?

Jesus Wept · 26-10-2011 2:38pm

Can you swing a sack of doorknobs?

x_Ellie_x · 26-10-2011 2:39pm

I doubt you'd find a job in Dublin either. My dad runs a pub here in Dublin and he just had to make a bunch of his staff redundant for the second time this year (he let a load of staff go in March too). My dad knows and is good mates with most of the other pub manager's/owners in the area and they are all having the same problems. Pubs all over Ireland aren't doing very well at the moment.

I know the pub trade is dying but i was thinking dublin might be clinging on to whats left

4zn76tysfajdxp · 26-10-2011 2:47pm

You should look for factory work or McDonald's something as well as bartending in Dublin. Widen your options a bit.

Maybe you should take those bartending skills to Australia? Nothing going to happen here for at least five years.
