    29 & 9/12ths (yeah, coming close to that figure), but I haven't really been reading this board much recently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,190 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I'm 19, but in college. So I only read/reply/post here when I'm looking for a new p/time job :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,663 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    21

    What would be more telling is how many people :

    *look for work here
    *post job offers here
    *are bored at work here :)

    Post a poll? *shrug*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭phobos


    I'm 21,

    But I always get paranoid and think someone is profiling my character, saving this sacred information until some day. A day where they will pop out of the bushes with a big red book, and drag me on to a TV set, where I shall meet all those people that I was told were dead, and such ;)

    RIGHT!, there ya go.

    thats because its a work discussion forum, not an agency recruitment site.
    and actually as it happens, we have had a few jobs advertised here. in fact vagga used to advertise here and then when hed sacked them, he hire here again :)

    i just wanted to get a rough idea of the people who look at this forum. is it students, or people in full time employment etc.
    i guess its just a whole range of people with nothing better to do :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan
