    howya guys.
    Im looking for a job while continuing my studies.
    Only the only part time jobs are flexitime..which would mean missing college time.
    Which sorta defeats the purpose.
    Does anyone have any tips in this regard or is it just really hard to get a job to work alongside your college hours:?

    I find it quite handy enough. I'm starting college in September too and have had to problem finding emplyers willing to work my hours. In fact I think they rather it, not many people like to work weekends where as with students it's the only time they can! I've had 3 interviews this week. Got called for 5 but had to reject two. It's all about looking for the jobs that match your experiences. It'll come in time trust me.

    Looking for Pharmacy jobs they want yeh to work odd hours that clash with college.

    I've a strong background in aviation, no experience is most of the jobs I applied for. I'm assuming it's the qualification of a leaving cert that gets me so many interviews. A few to name are Harvey Norman, PC world, KFC, Mcdonalds, Centra, eirtech aviation, Aer Lingus and bewleys coffee. Didn't get a few of these jobs simply because they were 9-5 so couldn't do it with college. But the likes of KFC Mcdonakds bewleys and Harvey Norman were happy to work around my college hours. Eventually I settled with progression with KFC. I've a 2 hour shift tomorrow just so they know I can perform well before giving me a contract.
