been there done that, went to every single retail outlet and shopping centre available from castletroy to dooradoyle to northside and nothing..of corse town too..and i also handed out the cvs to the same place if a few months have passed..EVERYWHERE is covered by me, except bookies,casinos and bars which i dont want to work in and still no reply!

Therein lies the problem. If you try Ladbrokes, Boyles, Powers, Bamburys, Hacketts or Mulhollands you will surely hear back from one of them. Evening racing has started as I said and with staff taking holidays you could get some part time hours, hell even full time if your lucky. It's worth a try. You could do a hell of a lot worse.

It would appear that the OP has been working throughout the year [open to correction there however]

i might get 5 to 10 hours max in a pub depending if i get 1 or 2 nights.Im basically free all the time up to 8pm on a fri and sat night,whats so wrong with me wanting to work a bit more??i want to work to save money to have to have for college.im not unemployed but i get only a few hours and you get dirty looks trying to find a job in a goverment employment body

Why shouldnt a student be allowed to apply for FAS jobs?

FAS, about as much use as a sack of wet spuds. A waste of taxpayers money. I recall forwarding my C.V. and supplying my details to FAS when I finished college an they did absolutely nothing for me, and that was in the relatively good times. I actually felt I was bothering them when I went in. As if dealing with somebody coming in of the street looking for a job was outside their normal working day duties or something. Hopefully they will be outsed along with FF come next general election.

Was looking for part-time work to supplement my income as I plan to buy a house in the next few years. Haven't being pro-actively looking yet as was at a part-time course up until now. One thing I had in my head was the tyre fitters. There are plenty of them dotted around the outskirts of the city. It surley doesn't require a degree (no offence tyre fitter lads). Would there be any demand for workers from the ones that open on a Saturday? Any thoughts?

Also some folk are suggesting bookies as many are now open for late evening racing. I think I for one would be willing to give this a go. Any experience required though? Appart from dealing with irrate customers I think it might be a handy enough number. Are there any other downsides to it?

Has anybody seen any shops or anywhere at all advertising part time jobs, even just 2 or 3 days a week?

I've merged the jobs threads. I guess its just a fact of life.... good luck to those who are searching.

I cold call for a living which is pretty similar to job seeking. Except, I ask people for much more money that a whole years minimum wage(to buy my goods and services) so I can advise you the best way to approach any business is:

Be Well Dressed. Semi Formal.
Blokes - No Jeans, no trainers(not even for Footlocker), No t-shirts with slogans. Slacks, Cords, Shirt or casual polo will do you.
Ladies - Semi Formal. The list would be so long because you have 15 names for tops so common sense should prevail.

Do not ask the staff if they are hiring, EVER.

Ask for the manager or store owner and if they ask you why says its private.

Introduce yourself with your first name and with a handshake. Even people who do not know who you are or what you want will shake your hand. You will easily know if the person is going to entertain you by their strong or wear handshake.

Tell them you are looking for work(obviously) but be ASSERTIVE. You are the person for the job, nobody else irrespective of what job it is.[I have been an engineer, hotel manager, insurance assessor and now sell high value equipment/training. I have never had any formal training or College/UNI] You want the job, you need to earn the job.

If they are NOT hiring they WILL be hiring soon. Everybody does. Give them your CV in an envelope. Everybody else just gives them a few sheets of unstapled paper and they all gets stacked on top of each other. Yours, in a brown envelope, will be the first to be seen.

Apply for positions in newly opened business who have just opened recently because, I guarantee you from professional experience, they will soon let go over 50% of their layabout staff and replace them with new staff.

Pounding the pavement with CV is all good and well but you must be prepared for what you are doing. DO go from door to door but remember to be assertive.

Remember who and what you are applying for / to because a Jeweller wants somebody formal, well spoken, articulate and somebody who can "CLOSE".

Clothes shops want reliable people who have no problem lugging box's all over the place.

Supermarkets dont really care as long as you turn up on time and work hard.

Remember, as important as experience is its not the be all and end all of things. You could have 4 years of UNI but could have the personality of a slimy rock.

SELL YOURSELF

Ha desperate times desperate measures.

I too am an unemployed student. These 3 months off being broke are not doing me any favours, I've applied a good few places in the city because out were I live it makes the city look like a job haven.
