    can you say what area of the city it is, and how long the work is for.
    any other details would also be appreciated.

    cheers

    it gets to be a high stress place if you have a brain, if you don't you'll fit in here just fine. Most of the staff have severe attention deficits.
    Cl used to be a good place to work years ago when the staff were motivated and management knew how to treat them but some of the support stories I could tell you.......
    For about a year and a half before I left it stared going downhill, and very quickly too. Some of the people that were hired had never, and I mean NEVER even switched a computer on, but they spoke a foreign language so that didn't matter. I remember one guy who said he spoke german when being interviewed and had two years experience but when finished the training course and actually had to go on the phones, he admitted that he couldn't speak a word of german and knew nothing about computers. But they kept him on!
    I also heard about this one a few weeks ago from a guy who still works there; these two knackers who work there started FIGHTING right there in the middle of the floor, punching and kicking each other in front of everyone? DO you think they got the sack? NO WAY!
    Seriously though, if you're starting out (and there ain't much else out there) it'll probably be ok for a while. An ok spot to get your foot in the door. Just don't stay longer than a year.
    Every day I left that building towards the end a felt mentally raped. I stil get stressed when I think of the brainless idiots I used to have to deal with, speaking with customers was a pleasure as long as the staff stayed away from me!

    Speaking with the customers was a pleasure as long as they hadn't already talked to another member of staff - generally the first guy will have made the situation worse and then you feel embarassed working for a company where this happens on a regular basis.

    Hi wwman,

    The majority of our clients are based all over Dublin. This is a relatively new area we are getting involved in, and will have ongoing work hopefully with no end date in sight. We need
    competent network specialists who may already do freelance / contract work with a view to taking someone on full time. The majority of the work will be installation and maintenance of microsoft of linux networks, installation of mail servers etc etc..

    if its a field engineer you need, will you be supplying a company vehical?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 302 ✭✭curadh


    i've 2 years field service experience installing networks, servers etc. However mostly MS. I have worked with Linux and Unix but I'm no expert. Emulation and how to network it that would be it.
    I've a load of certs from cisco microsoft and comptia and am in year 2 of an IT degree. I would be interested in this part time definitely.
    Like most though the reason I'm not in IT is because of the huge salary drop, can you give us any indication - DOE, competitive, industry rates, attractive etc. ???????????
