Job after completing JobBridge internship

mini_cooper · 2012-03-21 15:36:09

Are there many people who have been lucky enough to get a paying job while on a JobBridge internship or soon after completing it? :) I've recently finished one and haven't had any luck securing a paying job. :(

I got a job with another company about two months after starting JobBridge and a guy who was on Job Bridge as well in that same company started a new job in late February after four months on Job Bridge. The company I am currently working for has taken on an intern and if he shows promise they have the full intention of offering him full employment so it does work for some people.

What field of work are you in if you do not mind me asking?

I asked this question too in this thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056531481

Happy to hear that others have since obtained work. But I would be interested in seeing some stats to back this up.

Congrats. I'm delighted that some people are benefiting from this scheme. Are there many other who have been lucky enough to secure a paying job from JObBridge?

Unfortunately the company I was working for are unable to take people on due to hiring restrictions.

I'm in the environmental industry and many places want a min of 2 experience which of course I do not have yet.
