tesco/dunnes for sure, I guess almost every other retailer will too

tesco wont take it for sure as their sales are directly proportional to hiring new staff...

From previous years, dunnes, boots and argos have always looked for xmas staff, good place to start. Hell if you went to childers road, you can check all three at once!

I know somebody who is a distributor for Forever Living Products. Not sure if there are many sellers around Limerick but they are always looking for more people to become distributors for them. You can message me if interested for more info since links aren't allowed

cheers!

Does anyone of any full time part time work going in limerick at the moment

Roquentin · 13-05-2014 11:38pm

Hi

Could someone list the companies in limerick that take on general operatives?

From this thread, Vistakon and Styker do. Is there anyone else. The chances of getting a job are slim, but i will send off CVs anyhow or hand them in.

Thanks. Might try cook medical as well. Dont know if they take on general operatives though.

Is there any other big companies within the city or surrounding suburbs?

The chances of getting in are slim, but no harm in trying.

Our place has been taking on 2/3 people on a weekly basis for the last couple of months. I heard today that they are doing aptitude tests again soon. Fire a CV into the reception in Stryker with "F.A.O H.R dept" on the envelope. Don't post it, go in yourself personally. It always looks better. Some sort of mechanical background or trade will help you a lot here. Best of luck. Might meet you on the line some day

No bother. While you're there, BS&B across the road is worth a shot. As is Analog.

Sound, will check them out also. Probably wont hear anything, but no harm in trying.

This is a long shot but would anyone have any leads on jobs that are only 20 hours per week? For a person that needs to ease back into work after illness.

Thanks so much xxx

What is the interview for stryker like? Just wondering if it is technical or does it just go by your previous work experience. If its too technical i probably wouldnt get the job, so there would be no point applying.

I worked in dell a few years ago and that interview was grand. Just education and where you have worked before, so if it is like that i will hand in a CV.

Is it a good idea to print off a lot of CV's and hand them out in town? I really need to get weekend/evening work asap.

by default handing them in is always better than post or email. shows you are making an effort. Just be sociable when you hand them in as well.

What you are trying to do is covertly influence an employer and doing that can work.

Having said that, such is the amount of CVs being sent or handed in, the chance of a job is low for all of us, as in we all have the same chance. You could get lucky though

Hello everyone, I have a bit of a problem. I have been offered the opportunity to pursue a PhD and the tuition fees for this year have been covered. This is, of course, great news. However, I need to find a way to feed myself while I pursue this opportunity. To that end I have been searching for jobs - unfortunately, there does not seem to be much out there that will fit with me trying to study simultaneously.

Some additional information/obstacles - I do not drive so I need to try to stay within the city bus limits from Limerick city centre and I occasionally need to travel to conferences to present work/papers. My masters is in music technology and my PhD research has to do with the applications of evolutionary computing to creative tasks so arts/media/computer/technical skills are quite good, I'm terrible at sales but generally good at customer service, I'm quite tall so stocking high shelves on evenings or weekends plays right into my wheelhouse. Anyway, you get the idea.

So I thought I'd ask - Does anyone know of any part-time work in Limerick that might suit someone who is studying full time at the same time? Any information/help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

youd have a better chance of finding oil on henry street than work stocking shelves. the minimum wage market is saturated. You can try, but you will have to sell yourself like a one legged hooker

Yeah, that's more or less what I'm finding. The thing is I'd be overqualified for those types of jobs, but it's pretty difficult to find something willing to work around my academic requirements.

thats the reality of the situation. There are jobs, but there are too many people applying for them.

If you know someone it helps. Ive been apply and handing in cvs for my line of work and nothing. All i can do is ride it out.

onethreefive · 01-09-2014 5:10pm

I saw a hairdresser's in the crescent I think looking for hair models. I'm not sure if you get paid or not but it might be worth a look

I don't think there is anything more depressing than applying for jobs like a lunatic and not hearing a thing back. I'm on the verge of cracking up! I can't even get something on the jobs bridge sc(heme)am!
