Computer shop guy wanted

Evac101

Friend of mine mentioned this to me this morning:

<advert>
Computer/Gadget shop southside city centre (more or less) is looking for 1-2 staff for sales, customer facing and some technical support.
Appropriate canidates should have an interest in technology in order to be able to converse knowlegably with the customers.
This is a young, energetic business and would probably suit similar staff.

</advert>

I know the owner of the business involved (easygoing, nice guy) and that, for the right person, this could be a great job.

The money involved (initially anyway) would not be great but the prospects could be great.

If you're interested ring 01 4757177 and ask for Colin Baker. <edit> Alternatively email colinbaker1@eircom.net

commited

Would he be willing to take somebody on for the summer?
Where on the southside?

Sangre

I would also be interested in summer work after the LC if its available.
What is the name of the shop?
What would the hours be?
What would the intial pay be? (dont worry I am a student )

-Thank you

Not sure what his stance is on summer work, best to give a ring and ask. Same as regards hours and pay (though pay would be resonable knowing him). Name of the shop is Back from the Future and it's on Angier Street (not sure if thats the right spelling). If you turn onto Georges Street from Dame Street and walk up past the second set of traffic lights, the shop is on the right hand side right opposite one of the 'Shauna's' sex shops.

Indeed it has.

They are on the lookout for someone to work over the summer. So, place your calls, or indeed drop an email! Get in fast as the decision will be probably be made in a few days.

Hours would typically be 10AM until 6PM. Mon to Fri, but there may be Saturday work too.

The shop is on Aungier St. about 5mins walk up George's St. from Temple Bar

so who's working there now?

is milo still working there?

SouperComputer

Milo is gone back to Canada for the Summer, and will most likley just be working part-time when he returns.

Some dude called James is working there (LOL)

commited

I sent him an email. When should I expect a reply?
How can I secure the Position?

Yeah, er, sorry for that but the fact is that, despite my best wishes to any women interested in the industry, the vast majority of people involved are, well, guys...

Personally I'm sure the majority of techies would love to see more women involved in the industry, just isn't the case currently *shrug*

I really have to laugh when i see these lines in job adds.
They are right up there with 'a chance to work in a challenging environment'

The prospects are great, for the right person, in McDonalds too.

Evac101

If you interest runs to a career in MacDonalds then yeah

'The prospects are great, for the right person, in McDonalds too '.

Not something that would interest me I admit, bit a passion about my current type of work, but I've never looked down on people who were interested...

DaithiSurfer

I wasn't saying i look down on anyone doing any job.
In fact i'm an ex builders labourer and listen to people in my office talking down on builders etc and have to point out to them that they sit at a desk for a living and a builder does extremely hard work.

My point was about the way job advertisers justify money not being great.

understand completely where you are coming from Beat, but to be honest, i think this place is fairly relaxed, and not really into the gender discrimination. Im quiet sure that there was not any gender misalignment meant, but as pointed out, the vast majority of technicians are male. although i have worked with some extremely useful female techies in my time.

i dont really want to have a whole gender war going on, as that would mean i have to edit virtually ever time someone posts here

its the same when refering to nurses, most people assume you mean a female, but no-one really cares if its a bloke.

and if people start taking offense to that, then they can post up on the PI board, and i can then ask them politely, as is my manner, to stop being so anal

commited

Does it really matter, because there was absolutely no feedback what so ever

Evac101

Sorry for, quite possible, finding offense where I shouldn't have to both bet4 and DaithiSurfer's mails. Fact of the matter is that (b3t4) one of the people on my desk who left recently was a techie of the feminie persuarsion and we seriously feel the lack of her - the male techie replacing her hasn't a patch of her knowledge.

To DaithiSurfer the reason I used the terminology I did was that I have 'insider' knowledge as to the possible career path available to the person who got that job and if not for the combination of my financial commitments and that the job had a lower starting wage then when I'm scrapping by on at the moment I would have taken it in a heartbeat for the possible advancement opportunities.

Finally, to Committed I'm sorry that he never got back to you, all I can say is that I know that he rarely has the chance to go out anymore because of his work commitments, so it doesn't entirely surprise me if he's tardy responding to mails:(

Regards all,
Evac

Sorry guys,
Didn't mean for anyone to take up my post the wrong way.
I was just making a little humerous observation (because we were laughing about that very thing at work the other day)
Please take it in the light hearted manner it was meant in

i love you guys

Does it really matter if they say guys or not? Do you get mad if they say lads as well? What difference does it make? Do you sleep worse at night thinking about whether or not they understand your gender? Is it worth even mentioning? From one woman to another hunny I think you are a little too sensitive. I work in a male dominated industry as well. It is kind of nice to be the only woman. And I really don't care if I get called a guy, it makes me feel like the respect me like one of the lads. I think you need to relax and have a beer or find someone else to give a woman's empowerment speech to!
