Job hunter. looking to connect with people in Co. Clare

Hello all in Co. Clare

(Newbie to Boards.ie).

I've partially (~70%) relocated to Clare last year. Now that the restrictions have eased I'm trying to complete the move with a suitable job change. Plenty of vacancies on Indeed.ie etc, but I'm having trouble getting interviews. (Technical Engineering background with good experience in Healthcare & Automation).

Looking to connect with anyone working in Clare, whose company may operate a referral scheme.

(PM me & I can provide further background)..

thanks

If you're having trouble getting interviews, then may be no harm to review your CV / Coverpage. Assuming that's all good, then I couldn't offer more advice than what you're doing. Check the job sites, maybe check linkedin to see if you have a contact somewhere.

You're welcome to post in the Clare forum, you might find a bit more local knowledge.

I tend to tailor the CV to each job . Alot of automated response emails alright, but little to no followups.

I'll check out the Clare forum. Thanks for the pointer.

Does Mr Robbins head hunt for Beckmann Coulter (Tulla) by any chance?

not that I know of.

Beckman coulter do have a pretty well developed online application portal. Although I'm forming the opinion that your only chance of getting your CV read is through employee referral. Applied for a few jobs here that were a near perfect match to my own profile & background. The usual feedback is .... not proceeding with your application at this time and/or the job may have been cancelled!

Sometimes I wonder if BC aren't just building a massive talent database!

Anyhow, the search goes on .......
