    Fair play. However you will probably go mad dealing with the general public. Sign up for the ranting and raving forum now so we can sympathise with you. : )

    Congrats!
    It's a bugger getting knocked back in interviews, remember it only too well.
    Things are on an upward curve for you, well done.......just practice a slightly generic Asian accent for your new post ;)

    Many congratulations. The very best of luck to you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red


    Well done for persevering, trying to improve yourself, and not letting the head drop. All that effort is paying off now. Congrats. I'm really happy for you.

    congratulations and good luck

    Delighted for you, honestly. A friend of mine is out of work for about 2 months now and he is so disheartened. He's not himself, down all the time and really finding it hard.

    Repeat after me...Have you tried turning it off and on again?
    Master this phrase and you'll be grand.

    Repeat after me: 'Have you tried turning it off and on again'? :pac:






    Congrats bro.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,617 ✭✭✭✭dastardly00


    Congrats OP and best of luck.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 746 ✭✭✭Starokan


    Nice one , best of luck


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,808 ✭✭✭Stained Class


    OP.Well, within reason, it's better to take any sort of a job than to stay on the Dole.

    The start money doesn't matter. It's a foot in the door & if you fit the bill with this crowd the wages can go up very quickly.

    BTW Congrats.:)

    Congrats and best of luck

    Happy Birthday OP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,248 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Good on you, op :)

    It's mental tough to get a job. I am on the dole too and all there seems to be out there is part-time positions offered were hundreds of people apply. It's insane.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 753 ✭✭✭Jonny Blaze


    I'm going to take this as a sign from the gods!

    Have an interview on Tuesday after losing my job in 2008, then college since 2009 so basically broke since 08!

    If i dont get it then my brother and I are out on the streets (rent increase we cant afford) so i'm ****ting bricks over it!

    Congratulations man, all the best with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,047 ✭✭✭Kettleson


    Nice work OP. You'll remember the effort it took you to get there. So when your head of IT in a few years time and you're interviewing nervous candidates for a new post, you'll know the one that deserves the break. Good luck and well done.
