They are pointless and contribute absolutely nothing towards the development of this thread.If you don't have anythign valid to contribute then don't contribute.Loads of people posted here to try help you out, why not take some of their advice.

    Chenglin is just one of the many like it in this country.

    They want a job handed to them without doing the leg work.

    Back to the original topic.

    He was looking for a job, ideas were given - excuse was given for not trying that route - more ideas given and still looking for other stuff.

    Unfortuantley for anyone, money does not grow on trees. Back in the mid eighties, I left school and looked for work. We had 16% unemployment back then. - I saw a gap in the market that wasn't being supplied by a distribuor of a product and offerred to sell into the gap on a small basic + commission.

    Distributor got extra sales/profits - I got a well paid job. - This gave me good foundation and I moved to the UK 4 years later in a sales management position. - I now have a small company and I'm looking to expand a small bit this year as costs have dropped significantly.

    Basically people need to work at getting a good job. First question you need to ask yourself is what will the employer gain by employing me? - if you can show yourself that the employer can employ you profitably (not necessarily always from a financial point of view) then you've a head start on most other applicants.

    Employers are still recruiting, but at a slower pace and they are being choosy. Negative attitudes will get you a thanks but no thanks return letter.

    The recession will end, just like the one in the sixties, seventies, eighties & the small dip in the late nineties and in a coupe of years we'll be wondering what all the fuss was about.

    unless you are too young to get the dole you should get something within 9weeks and even at that you can go to the health centre for supplementary welfare allowance for those 9weeks, if you are not eligible for social welfare for whatever reason then it will be almost impossible to survive here in carlow or anywhere else without a job/income. you could also try not ommitting words from sentences you will be understood better

    i see a couple of problems, firstly you probably havent collected enough stamps yet, secondly, as you posted in the carlow IT forum, i guess your a student, and thirdly, it can take up to 6 weeks to get from application to claim payout on it, like many things nowadays on social welfare.
