Job services for the unemployed

Vanhalla

Would anyone be able to tell me what kind of services are available for the unemployed and where to get them. if there is any!
in particular i mean help with CV/interview and maybe start your own business courses also.
thanks in advance

Have you called down to your local Social Welfare office?

In my local one there is always a good few posters on the various noticeboards about CV help, maths and writing help, and setting up your own business advice.

you could try springboardcourses for good courses which are funded by the social welfare and also there is bluebrick as well.
Then i suppose fas dunno how good that they are, i was unemployed for 6 months and got a course with springboard and am really enjoyig it

yeah i was looking at the springboard website.
do you mind me asking what course you picked?
they all seem to be courses where you need to have previous experience along the area of that particular course

i went for the certificate computer science i didn't need any previous exp. or anything its a good course gives me the option of doing it year by year going from cert to degree just in case it ends up getting too tough after been out of school a good while
