    I know Intel, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle do some form of program in Ireland for placements. Check out the banks they usually employ a lot of people. Check out companies that last years students went too. Don't stick your CV on monster, its no use there. Be more pro-active :)

    It depends on where you want to work. I know that AIB and BOI usually take on a few co-op placements in Dublin. Dell in Limerick do too.

    That's a coincidence. One of my family also did the work placement in QAD. Did you do the B.Sc in Applied Computing in WIT by any chance ? The feedback that I heard about QAD was quite positive. However, in saying that, the person to whom I refer expressed no interest in applying for a permanent position there upon completion of college.

    Im not too sure what it is for co-ops but as far as I know it was one of the best going around.... that could have changed though....
