J1 Job Opportunities - Boston

nuttlys

Hi guys, anyone thinking of going to the Boston this year on J1? If you are a company called Gentle Giant are hiring J1 students. There head of HR, David Lister, is coming to Ireland middle of Feb looking to recuirt people.

They are possibly the biggest moving company in Boston, started by a guy from Limerick years ago, and hire every summer. I worked for them summer 06 and it was a life saver, I was running out of money cause of lack money and then I got offered a job by David. Trust me, anyone going over this summer will need to sort out a job beforehand, I doubt there will be many jobs.

Normally they look for fit, athlectic types as the work is hard and long. But the pay is good, and the tips can be amazing. That said I was not the perfectly fit canditate but I showed I could work hard and came home the fitest i'd ever been, if you think of it as going to gym everyday and getting paid for it you will enjoy it. Anyway here are the dates David will be Ireland:
