Summer Work (just had to do it)

Couldn't resist with all the other posts up
I apologise in advance.

I'm looking for work in Cork, I'm doing a Degree in Maths/ App. Maths/ Physics in UCC. I've experience in modelling (mathematical), electrical systems, electronics, and basically overseeing a network at small company (10 comps) level.

Anyone know of anyone hiring in Cork city itself??

On a completly unrelated topic, which is more employable? A degree in physics alone, or a joint honours in maths and applied maths??

I'm no expert but I reckon joint in Maths and Applied Maths would get you a job in IT quicker than physics (of course you want to work in IT)

Although I'm probably wrong so queue flaming.

Ahh phil, I was going to say that...

But seriously tho... dont go for anything network related if you only know how to manage 10 host networks. Try learning routers/bridges/repeaters etc then u might be able to get a job. As for the which is more employable - generally all companies are looking for now is a diploma or equivilent in computers with practical experience of the area. MCSE or Cisco is handy too. So youre over qualified! But on the upside, Tesco are always looking for bag packers and trolley collectors!

But for now, practice this line

"Would you like fries with that?"

And, there i was applying to 4 star pizza

I've no intention of working on a large network, my experience is far too limited. As for being over qualified, I must disagree, in Maths/app. Maths fields, a post-grad is normally a given.

Plus in an app. maths degree one learns how to "program" in Mathematica and Maple. V. useful for the above said modelling, which I'm primarily interested in.

Thanks anyway.
