best skills/courses to do for employment

oreo47

Hello
I am 20 years old and I am looking for a job. I have went out to lots of retail places asking for work on sundays/saturdays (these are the only days I can work as I am doing a very busy college course) but I have had no luck. This has made me think that I need to upskill in some sort of way so I can get a job. I was wondering does anyone know what are the best part time courses that dont require too much work to get a job. I am interested in electrical stuff but a course in electrics would take up too much time. I wouldnt mind working in a bike shop but there arent any bike shop close to me. ANyway what courses are best to do?

If you are just looking for a part time retail job try to get done work experience in a retail setting. Volunteer in your local charity shop for example. Then you will have retail skills that will look good when applying for a paid job. Also ask all your friends to recommend you for jobs where they work as it’s a common way to get a job in Ireland.

It's very difficult to get hired with no flexibility in hours. You dont want completely different staff on at the weekends it can negatively impact service levels.

Springboard is great but the courses can be extremely time consuming. They give great qualifications though and some awards can be used towards a degree.
