    I'm in IT, I'd had one interview so far and admittedly I messed it up myself, full sure I'd have a job now if I didn't.

    I was offered 2 more interviews but have yet to confirm them

    it depends, my man.

    I mean, if you live in a place like Monaghan or Dundalk or Portadown, its a huge handicap to getting a job, because you're too far from your workplace, unless you have personal transport. I see that there's more opportunity in Cork and Glaway than in Dublin, because everyone wants to work in Dublin and its very competitive.

    good point, none of the jobs i've come across are in Dublin

    If you have graduated with IT or Engineering degree, you should go to Limerick, Cork, Galway or Waterford. I've heard there were jobs created in that area
