Hi Guys ,

THANKS:)

You haven't any qualifications and you're plan is to come to Ireland to get a decent job?

I think you should research your move first. Maybe start with opening any European newspaper printed in, oh say, the last three years.

Hmmm ; op said Dublin, not Ireland!!!!
If Ireland stay well away! If Dublin you'd better pack your sandwiches ; it's going to be a long cold hungry ride. Get your cert by all means, but just because it's Christmas dosnt mean ther'll be any miracles.

Unless you've any contact who know your work & will hire you? Seems the only way people are getting jobs.

Yes by all means come to Dublin to get certified; however I'd question how well the OP has researched the move if he expects to walk into a decent job without, or for that matter, with some type of relevant qualification.

The jobs market is the best here at the minute:)

Thank you "the keen edge" and "JustAThought"
your comments are appreciated.....My Academic Qualification is B.Com, but in the field of music we do not have any single college or university which teaches "Audio Engineering", so we're dependent on EUROPE in this case...i'm working here as Music arranger and audio engineer, but I want to polish myself to get at international standard...and I'm planning to come to "pulsecollege" to get 2year audio engineering degree....so I want to bear all my expenses by working there.
Suggestions Please.

Without meaning to be funny, but the best place to get a job would be McDonalds or some of the major Supermarkets. They pay a bit over minimum wage, but tend to be flexible for students. Accommodation in Dublin is a bit expensive. Make sure you have enough money to live on for a while. Good Luck in your studies. Most employers would look favourably on someone going to such lengths to better themselves.

You might get some call centre work which you can do in the evenings to make some cash.

These places run all sorts of shifts and you might find something to suit you

As an international student I think you're only allowed work 20 hours per week

There seems to be a Pakistani community in Ireland. These guys could help you get settled, maybe someone has a room with cheap rent to get you started

funny guy ...

OP, the New Zealand community in Dublin would be happy to welcome you to the Woolshed ... and to give your country a run for their money on the cricket field!

Hahahhhhhh......

Thanks "mikemac1" and "Mrs OBumble" for your love and support.
@ Mrs OBumble I would definitely come to woolshed and meet u and New Zealand Community.....
is "woolsehd" a pub? or a name of a place?

Mrs OBumble

The Woolshed is a pub ... apparently legendary among NZ-landers here, though I live on the other side of Ireland and hate sport, so I've never been there.

If the OP has excellent experience in his field without qualification, and there is and industry for him here, then I don't see why she/he wouldn't be able to get a decent job here.

I think it's pretty offensive that so many people have assumed OP is not well qualified.

I think it's because they read the OPs statement " but without any certification...and for this is why I'm coming to Dublin to get certified".

Also, the OP is presumably going to be on a student visa, the most they will be allowed to work for is 20 hours/week. Even with excellent experience, i'm not sure how many employers would offter those sorts hours in "excellent" jobs.

We are looking at the situation of a student coming to live here on a student visa. The only jobs they could do within the limits allowed are in the likes of McDonalds, etc. We are being realistic and in no way offensive.

You can be uncertified but have a high level of skill and an excellent portfolio.

Have a nose around www.iftn.ie to get a feel for who's who and what's what in the industry over here...

Also, you can upload your CV for free here on the Irish Film Board website:

well worth contacting the sound studios and post production houses (listed on IFTN) and letting them know you're available for work, you never know what might come of it, best of luck!

That is true, but in the current climate would it be fair to say to the OP, yes come here, you will certainly get a brilliant job in your field without any formal qualifications. No, of course it would not. People are being realistic, and far more optimisitic than I would be.
