Sorry this is bull, one of the mods hijacked my post (have you ever noticed that mods like to type in bold print? - I'm a smart one I tells ya).

In reality I am a loyal supporter of the tea-party movement in the US. I hope some day that something like it can be set up here in Ireland.

WOOHOO TEA-BAGS!!

Feck the lazy leeching socialists and people pretending to be job seekers on the dole.

Sorry about that people, it appears my username was erm eh hijacked - it may have been Bill Cullen. In reality I'm a socialist and I believe that people have a right to receive job seekers allowance.

So what's going on now?

This is the perfect time to set up a business. Come up with an idea nobody else has thought of; market it, make it, sell it.

Good thinking Batman.

Do you think the Enterprise Board are just handing out grants or something?

Do you realise that they are government funded and so: unfunded.

Or if you can't find a job in a specific industry you have specialised in then you go work in a shop, cleaner, barman, etc.. But no, many Irish people just can't face the shame of having to work in such an underclass job. They rather waste taxpayers money and bemoan their very existence on the internet. Oh bu hoo! Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get over it.

Slightly less job for specialised people yes. There are jobs out there if you know where to find them. Just don't be scared.

That is bollocks, what if the job you had was as a barman and you lost it because every fcuking club in the town shuts down. Same goes for any industry you care to mention. And there's nothing "underclass" about being a barman, especially if you're good at it. It's only people like you who have a problem doing these kind of jobs.

I agree with pigeon - the OP should start a business with money he doesn't have, refuse the jobseekers that he's entitled to but then go to the bank and ask them for money they won't give, and then start a business with the original idea that he surely has (why everyone in the Ireland has an original idea that'll make them rich if they just bothered to do it, dummy). If them crumby banks won't bankroll him go "to some top invest" - (you'll find these top invests upstairs in some warehouse, that's where they hang out; just have a look. I seen it on dragon's den).

And if he doesn't want to do that, then the haure should be hung. The shops and cleaning firms are crying out for people and those 450,000 lazy jerks just can't be arsed even applying. The poor shops. Reduced business after christmas and jan sales, and them still crying out for additional staff but all the lazy dole bastarsd won't bother their holes helping them out.

:eek::eek:

Could you please post where these jobs are advertised?

I have no shame left and dont even get the dole . I want one!
I got one interview in the last 3 months. You make it sound like there is a job for everyone.
I wish there was.

OP cheer up. Dont get into a rut with the dole. I did for one year till my hard earned stamps ran out.

Get your thinking cap on ...

Yeah, I suppose being a barman or a cleaner isn't good enough for you.

Where did the OP indicate that?

Again, no indication of the above from the OP. Aren't you a teenage kid who's in college (sorry if I've the wrong person)? In which case, you haven't a clue.

Pfft, he had nothing on me. If he was a barman in Ireland he'd get the shit beaten out of him for spending more time dancing and posing then actually serving drinks. And rightly so.

wtf? you act like im sum kind of upper class tit? My work industry is Hospitality and catering I have 2 Professional qualifications including a degree as a chef and 6 years experience with very good restaurants so my current position would be sous chef (2nd chef in charge) my last job was in a very nice 4 star hotel in Limerick where I took a huge step down the ranks to just a chef de partie so I could learn more and because I needed a job. and I was let go because things in the hotel were quiet and were going to be getting very quiet January - march and there was way too many kitchen staff so since I was last hired I was let go. that was on the 5th of December.

Since then I've had to come back to cork because I could not afford to stay in limerick anymore & I actively been searching for job oppurtunities and been handing my CV into neary every restaurant and hotel in cork. Got 2 call backs but they were looking for 1. a mandarin/chinese speaking head chef for a chinese restaurant which to be honest is completly unattainable unless you are an ethnic chef and the second being so far away from where I live (and i don't drive) it would have been impossible to work there also.

your talking crap mate a lot of the places you mention, shops, pubs, cleaner, won't hire people who come from certain back grounds professionally because they are over qualified and they know its highly likely if they do hire them that person will be gone as soon as they get a better offer. Some people won't apply for these types of jobs yes but it works both ways.

I agree, I applied in desperation for a barman job in my local, applied for a job as a bouncer, applied to mace, centra and ****ing supervalue and applyed to for 2 jobs as a waiter as I had sum experience years n years ago working as one. but hardly no Call backs.

All asked my relevent experience in each of these line of work and besides knowing of how to work a till, and use cleaning equipment and dishwashers and cook etc. "I was either over qualified or not suitable for the position due to my experience in other fields" :rolleyes:

So today I had officially no other choice but to go and apply for job seekers benefit I have 20.46Euro in my wallet and after that im ****ed.
I have worked solidly since 6th year in school so I've more than enough Tax & PRSI stamps so in a way I've earned my benifit.

It was weird though as I went in and got my ticket and waited then went to the window and talked to the receptionist he was completly shocked as to why I waited over a month to go on benifit?

My answer was because I was trying to get a ****ing job & not just sit on my ass

anyway on a lighter note if anyone here hears of a full time chef job of some sort give me a pm

Dudess · 18-01-2011 06:51PM

You'd need a lot of experience to be a barman now - look at all the others you'd be up against. It's only people with views like the OP who are looking down on it and considering it a "lesser" job. It can be quite a high-demand number actually, and not everyone is suitable for it.
