Jobs Expo 2014 Croke Park

carveone

Worst day to be in a queue of any sort but did anyone go to this yet? There's no indication as to what companies will be there, just like last year. And if it's like last year it'll be Sky, Working abroad agencies and the usual recruitment companies looking for a cv for their books. And there was a 90 minute queue.

On the positive side, they did have some CV advisors last time so it might be worth it.

How much are tickets do you know, or is it pay at the door?

Just wondering if you went. I was at CareerZoo and thought it was a waste of time, but I'm not an engineer or software developer so that's why. 90% of the jobs there were for that.

get the tickets online theres no charge for the jobs expo but there is for the working abroad expo

also based on last year theres normally a queue get there early id say at least 30mins before it opens or you could be waiting an hour to get in or go later in the afternoon when the queues are normally gone

Did anyone go to Croke Park yesterday? Any use?

tramoreman

went to croke park yesterday wasent any use to myself same amount of companies as usual. there were construction companies from canada and switzerland and recruitment agencies from abroad there. if you want i can put up a list of what was there. cork jobs expo might be worth a go might be more companies there.

Awesome-O

I've just come back from abroad so that's no good to me! Might look into the cork one, thanks

tramoreman

The one in Croke Park was very poor, i knew there something up when there was no queue. Drove up from Limerick for it and only spent about 40mins max in the expo. Life coaches and construction in Canada. I think there was about 4 Irish based companies there and no big names exp Aldi. No Bio, Pharma or science based jobs on offer.

Awesome-O

I think I read Dublin bus was gonna be there? This with the new cross dublin buses?

tramoreman

previous times i was there the queue would still be there outside after an hour but i arrived around 12.15 friday and was suprised there wasent any queue inside was quiet in comparison to last year
