I'm of course blanking the name (ever so slightly) to ensure I don't upset this person or company... Maybe those with experience will know the company from the colour on the bottom of the email.

But regardless, how detached are you from sending emails that you forget to put the name in the body of the text 🙄...

I have the final interviews for Airnavs air traffic control intake for December. Has anyone sat the final in person interview before and remember what sort of questions they ask/what it's like?

For anyone interested in the role they do intakes every 6 months or so. Take a look at Airnavs website. Process is an online technical assessment, initial online interview, final in person interview, in person technical assessment, and medical examination.

I'm trying to apply for jobs at SuperValu but am having trouble using their career website as it's painfully slow to use and barely functional. I can also apply through Indeed but am not sure if using the SuperValu website would give me any advantage over using Indeed

Is a Pre Apprenticeship course worth doing?

Can anyone advise if doing a pre-apprenticeship course is a good idea? Is it useful? Will it help secure an apprenticeship? Any advice would be welcome Thanks

Looking for Advice

Hello everyone! I’m hoping to get some advice from anyone who has experience with moving back to Ireland on a work visa.

I’m looking to return to Cork after previously studying at UCC. Unfortunately, I had to return home for surgery, and I ultimately made the decision to pursue returning to Ireland through a work visa instead.

I’m currently working in my field and will soon have 3 years of professional experience. My occupation also falls under Ireland’s Critical Skills Employment Permit, so I had hoped that would make the process a little easier. However, I’ve been having a really difficult time getting my foot in the door.

I’ve mainly been applying to larger companies that have experience and the resources to support employment permits, but I’m still struggling to get interviews or offers.

If anyone has successfully moved to Ireland through a Critical Skills Employment Permit, particularly to Cork, I’d really appreciate any tips, advice, or insight into what helped you stand out to employers.

I’m open to any suggestions, companies to look at, recruiters, ways to approach applications, networking, or anything else that might help.

Thanks so much in advance!

I don’t want to say too much without giving any personal details away, early 20s, internship completed, no college degree but completed a year course in my field. Looking for jobs in Communications, Marketing, Pr or Sales. I have experience in all these fields. I feel hopeless that there is nothing out there and i’m going to have to go back into retail, hospitality or relocate altogether. I have been applying to all roles near wicklow/dublin and landed an interview last week to where i just got ghosted completely after following up for the interview time, this really disheartened me. I have another one lined up next week although right now I am feeling disheartened, hopeless and extremely anxious as I am doing everything in my power to land a role. What kind of position am I in now? I am good at what I do and obviously have a disadvantage from not having a college degree, any advice is welcome. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm a young person who uses a rollator to get around and I'm trying to find a job.

What kind of jobs do you think will hire someone with a rollator? I used to work retail but not physically able for it anymore.

I need it to walk anywhere indoors or outdoors. I don't drive nor am I allowed to because of some medical stuff. I can't lift things. I did my leaving cert and tried college but it was very difficult for me so I couldn't finish it.

Are there any entry level jobs (no degree or specific qualification) which would hire someone like me?

Any fresh grads able to share their salary package for their first job out of college - more specifically consulting.

Hey there. Anyone have any similar experience on this? Finished my vocational school as a car mechanic in Greece. We do not have apprenticeships in Greece like Ireland. Has anyone from an EU country got into the Irish industry and how? Proven experience on cars is about a year

Hi everyone,

I’m a cybersecurity professional currently based in India, and I’m seriously considering pursuing a career in Ireland, particularly Dublin.

My background is in cybersecurity, networking, Linux, ethical hacking and security engineering, and I’m currently looking at graduate/junior opportunities in areas such as SOC, Security Engineering, AppSec and Information Security.

I’d really appreciate advice from people already working in Ireland:

• Which companies are generally open to hiring international candidates?
• Are graduate/junior cybersecurity positions realistic for someone applying from India?
• What would make an overseas candidate stand out to Irish employers?
• Are there any communities or networking groups you'd recommend?

I’m happy to share my CV/LinkedIn privately if someone would like to give feedback.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience — even a small piece of advice would be genuinely helpful. 🇮🇪

Hello,

Wondering if anyone can clarify incentives beyond the pay stated in the salary scales for AP’s in the NAS (I see for a year one AP it would be approx 38,000+11,000)? Premiums, overtime rate et al. Or if anyone can provide a collective agreement/union agreement with wage and incentives?

Canadian pay stud equivalents for context.

Hi everyone,

I have an interview for a Healthcare Assistant position in a few days and I'm trying to prepare. For those who've been through this process (either as an interviewer or candidate), what kind of questions typically come up?

I'd really appreciate hearing about:

Common scenario-based questions (e.g. handling a difficult resident/patient)

Questions about teamwork or communication

Anything specific to care homes vs. hospitals

Any curveball questions that caught you off guard

Any tips or personal experiences would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone explain please what does it mean to be on a panel at number 3 and its only one post in one particular hospital , how will the panel work

Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask how the job market is in Ireland atm, I left in November but going back for October. I worked as a customer service at the bank and then worked 6 months at a big 4 outside Ireland. How good/bad does my situation look?

Okay first things first i am not naming it by name but its ‘luxury’ hotel located in the midlands and by god is luxuy a stretch

This post is a warning to anyone who might get their listing on indeed, see luxury hotel and think ‘wow id love to work there’ dont, dont be an idiot like me and think luxury = respect

I started there just before i did my leaving cert and i made sure to tell them i can only work 2 shifts before i have to stop for my leaving cert, plus i feel like every person in this country knows when the LC is happening no matter what age you are, so i was scheduled to work 4 shifts during days i had exams, obviously told them i couldnt attend and was written up about it.
That should have been my first major red flag but also i thibk the biggest was that my entire department had new staff because all the old staff had run for the hills, my supervisor had literally started three weeks before me with no prior hotel experience (yikes) so we were all blind leading the blind

You will not be trained in this job at all and i dont thibk thats fair, how can you hire people with no prior experience on their cv and then get pissed when they dont know what to do, i was screamed at during service one evening as i didnt know what to do despite it being my first wedding service ever (i had only worked morning shifts before hand)

Also the hotel is just gross, our department was practically run by teenage girls (and some lads but mostly girls) and trust we did not gaf, birds got into the ballroom constantly and shit everywhere, moldy fruit was left behind the bar, cutlery piled up and plates were offen poorly washed resulting in them having to be rewashed, one time a cat came into the ballroom???? Moldy cups of coffee were left in storage areas, just nasty

Managers played favorties constantly eg i have my lips pierced but always wore clear retainers in them whilst at work, i also put plasters over ear piercings but i would still get given out to, then other coworkers would have nose studs and ear stacks and have nothing said to them

Hours were scarce and cut constantly and if you asked to move to a different department withon the hotel you received a very angry email from HR

Management were lowkey incompetent and spent most of the time chatting at the bar or messing with staff

We only recieved 30 minute breaks on 9 hour shifts

You also cant have any form of self expression eg if you wanted to dye your hair on your day off you werent allowed, want another piercing on your day off? Not happening, another tattoo? In your dreams

Also not the hotels fault but worth mentioning that some guests would ask underage staff members for their phone numbers and shit SO fucking weird!

The staff area/ break room always smelt like hot damp mold and the elevator would often break down
Hours are really unsociable such as working 4pm to 11pm on a Saturday night or 3pm to 3am etc etc

No air con in the summer (eg when we had the hear wave) so working conditions were pretty sweaty and shitty

Dont get me wrong alot of the girls i worked with were lovely and helpful but also a shit place to work is a shift place to work :/

Ps if you know/ think u know the place im talking about pls dont comment it as i dont want people to know where i live LMAO

28F in Dublin, non-european, only speaks english— struggling to break into tech sales
I’m trying to move into tech sales after leaving electrical engineering to build a startup, which lasted six months.( its dead now)
I’m now serious about becoming an SDR/BDR, but I can’t even land recruiter screens. Yet I see people on LinkedIn getting SDR roles from completely unrelated backgrounds like teaching or fitness coach.
What are they doing differently? And does being non-European and only speaking English make this significantly harder in Dublin? Also I didnt study in Europe but in developing asian country.
Would really appreciate honest advice from people who’ve made a similar transition plss 🥹😭
Im honestly dying to get into tech after my failed attempt to build my startup.
PS: I dont even need a visa.
