    best bet is to try and get a helpdesk job for 3 months. Very difficult to get anything else tbh.

    I would seriously suggest a larger telecoms company..... especially start-ups, in general start-up have alot of work and little pay, but the lack of pay will eventually pay off as experience is the biggest payer of all. I would seriously suggest companies like
    • Eircom
    • Smart
    • Magnet
    • Digiweb
    • ESAT
    • etc

    You get my drift, if you have anymore questions give me a pm or email me.

    Shay my man how are you? PM or Email me sometime what are you up?
