You've accepted a job and you dont know what the salary is?

sinjin_smythe

Well yeah, I had to get through an interview with only 10 positions available and 50 people going for the job, al you have to be in college to apply (dont know why) so the salary must be good as well as the hours

Thats pretty good odds actually I got offered a couple of jobs that in some cases had thousands of applicants for roughly 2 - 30 positions

(Yes thats me honking my own horn )

Worked there a couple of summers ago after 1st year - am eng student too, but was working in the motor tax office in Nutgrove! Was a great job, really relaxed and with lots of bizzare perks like getting paid for an extra half hour on Thursdays because we didnt take half an hour of to cash our checks or something like that Seriously I've had 13 jobs and this was the cushiest ever, it's just so relaxed, and when your polite to the public they'd be really appreciative. Hope you enjoy it, and good luck!

Yeh, I worked there last year. Cushiest job ever but was pretty bored where I was. Pay was something like €380 a week, and yeah we got and extra 1/2 hrs pay to cash our pay cheques on Thursdays! Also most departments have flexi-time so you can work up hours and take half days or days off if your department head lets you. You get 2 days holiday for every month you work too so I was able to take a weeks hol last August and got paid for it!! Be prepared to be doing the yucky jobs like photocopying and filing...but you can't really go wrong with it, its a Monday to Friday, 9-5.30, well paid and easy job which looks good on a reference-sorted!!
