What's more, it looks like they're Google mapping bikes. Nice little summer job for a computing student, good money too.

"4.​ You must process strong customer service skills"

Good thing they're so detail oriented themselves!

Hmm, I'd be tempted if it was not for the requirement of the van.

Am I reading it right that they supply you with a van? But you just need a parking space for it?

Yes.

Am tempted by this myself, but I can imagine the interaction the public would have with you, not something I'd be great dealing with.

Just imagine, at least once a day you'll have some gob****e or raving loony come at you ranting and raving about privacy and filming in public places without permission. One or two will probably call the Gardai to "report" you. If you're happy to deal with that, you'll be grand.

Cycling through a drunk filled Temple Bar with what is effictively a banner over you reading "Scream your spitle in my face". It'd be great bloody training though.

Going to send my CV in. I have the parking for a transit and I can cycle.

I need money for a masters so I need a job badly

Harrybelafonte

If I send in my CV I'm going to include my Cycling Ireland licence number. Should be proof there... Hope they don't weight us, though a free VO2 test would be nice

I'd love that job. I would provide them with extensive 360deg views of the city parks on sunny lunchtimes. Its usually a thongathon, down on Merrion Sq.

I'd be mad for this if i didn't have a "Real job"
Stoopid responsibilities!

DaveyDave

I love how pretty much every job going at the moment wants you to be the worlds best. Professional education? What does that have to do with anything? Do I need a Masters in bike riding? And experienced, in what? Trike riding? They should get off their high horse, along with every other employer. If you're in shape, like riding and are aren't a lazy dole sponge and fit the rest of the criteria the rest shouldn't be relevant.

I'd love to have a go of a trike, no chance of getting a job with them though.

Im applying for this, all the years as a cycle messanger might finally bring me some good fortune.

With the state of the streets that yoke is going to need some serious camera stabilization arrangement. And with the weight of it, its going to need some serious anchors. Otherwise it could spend much time making self incriminating footage of itself running red lights or flattening jaywalkers.

It's Google. They are the high horse. And now they know you wrote that.

Tonyandthewhale

Skills required include "general car knowledge" presume that means one of those driver's license yokes. That's me out so, damn bureaucrats.

This isn't for streets. It's for tourist attractions like the zoo, etc...
