You haven't done commission based sales before?

No, only ever sold with my salary and i got a bonus based on sales.

Out of interest how many people have decided on the commission only option when the salary was available? I can't imagine that many people could be that stupid.

setting up employees as a sole trader raises so many alarms for me i wouldn't advise anyone to go near the place. regardless of what the potential earnings are.

It's cold calling people at home up selling them electricity. It's not easy and people are told this, people won't find out whether they can do the job until they try, a lot of people can't but some can and do it well while making a good wage

Amazing you should say that, lets say i take this job selling and you set me up as a sole trader and as soon as i get on the phone i crash and burn. i mean i can't even remember the script?

can the company fire me? After all im a sole trader and most importantly if they can what is the story with my social welfare payments? Im no expert but i heard before that you aren't entitled to a penny if you are a sole trader.

Does anyone know of places that are interested in people just for summer? probably have a better chance there
or if not.. can students get jobseekers benefit or assistance during summer? I know its not exactly for this forum but people on here are obviously are looking also and might have some insight....Student grants dont even cover the cost of accomodation if you're away from home so I desperately need WORK! anything.. PM me!
please

You need to lie about college. I got a job full time(now part tiime because it suits better) I never mentioned im going back to college next year i just said nothing has been decided. When September comes tell your boss your going and they might say look we can work something out and you keep your job, its far easier to retain staff then to get new ones. As far as I know if your in college your cant get jobseekers.If you like me where I did a year course then applied for soical then did another year of a different course and apply again. They will ask for a letter to say your finished your relevant course when applying.

Now heres where it gets interesting. you could as your college for a letter to say you do not intend to return in september. This wont deregister you or anything and will suffice when applying for the social and you can just do your course in September. Dont even ask is that allowed I assume not.

You can claim JB / JA during the summer months if you're a student and you're seeking a job.

Can you quote the site directly? This is what im getting

JA Disqualification - course of study
The legislation also provides that a person shall be disqualified from receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance while attending a course of study (including school/college holiday periods), except in such circumstances as may be prescribed. The exceptions to this disqualifications are :

persons aged 21 years or over who have been in receipt of JA/ JB for at least 6 months and who are participating in approved courses of education, training or development (as per above), and
mature students, i.e. persons over 23 years of age on or before 1st January in the year in which the course of study commences.
Deciding Officers should note that disqualification while attending a course of study is completely separate from the availability condition. As mature students are exempted from this disqualification, they may be entitled to Jobseeker's Allowance during the summer holiday periods if they satisfy the availability condition in the normal way.

THIRD LEVEL STUDENTS
(a) Students who have not completed their final year:

Third level students who have not completed their final year at college are disqualified for receipt of JA during the academic term and for the duration of the summer vacation periods. This disqualification also applies to:

Students pursuing Post Leaving Certificate courses of more than one year's duration;
Irish/ EEA students returning from courses abroad; and
Non-EEA third level students applying for JA in Ireland.

That's exactly what I meant. But I was thinking of those over 23..

roxyworldgirl

Sound for all the advice! I think I'll head into citizen info and see what they say cause I'm literally broke at the moment .. I heard that students can get jobseekers BENEFIT? if you've paid enough prsi... so I'll give that a shot

roxyworldgirl

I actually walked into somewhere today and handed my Cv and before I got out the door they'd caught up to me and said they dont take people on who don't live in Waterford all year and I got handed back my CV... tis getting bad...

It's strange because I honestly couldn't imagine we were hiring but the page isn't fake. There's two Masons Facebook pages. I've edited my post now.

roxyworldgirl

you work in there is it? Because someone who works there wrote that it was a fake page.. they were saying theyd give people free drink on certain nights and all.. was definitely fake!

I dunno maybe it is fake then. The 2 pages do seem to be linked though. To be honest I've never paid much attention to either of them.

I always knew that I did the work of two people!

The Tower Hotel are now hiring for the position of porter and also hiring for a bar person. Experience in the industry required, not sure of the application arrangements but usually it's just hand into desk stating what you're applying for.

If This is Up are still dealing with the recruitment just mail your CV to liz@thisisup.com

Just be prepared for 4 weeks unpaid training if you're successful

Seriously? Unpaid training is a bit of a downer

ziedth

Is this unpaid training thing new to the scene? In 12 odd years of work i have never so much of heard of it till recently. Seems to me employers are making the most of having new employees over a barrel. if you need the job you'll do anything like.

Ive an interview with eishtec, does anybody know what kind of questions they ask or any advice that could particularly help me? such as what to wear or whatever

roxyworldgirl

Eistech - everyone wore fairly formal clothes for the interviews.. start off with standard "why do you want to work for us" "what could you bring" questions... theres a few questions about when did this happen and how did you deal with it..
It is quite casually carried out luckily enough.
good luck

I always give the same advice in these kind of situations at the very least for an interview wear a shirt & Tie and black pants/cords. Never ever wear jeans.

Look at it this way your better being remembered as the only candidate who turns up in formal gear then the only candidate who didn't.

If you can afford it at all try and buy a suit.Gregory's in town could set you up for less then €100 and Greg is as sound they come he'll be able to sort you out. It could make all the difference and you'll always have it then.

roxyworldgirl

Definitely black pants and shirt.. probably a tie...
look up a few things about smart phones.. I unfortunately got caught out buy questions about downloading certain apps on certain smart phones.. Presumed that was what the 7 weeks of training were for
Hey does anyone know a good way of well lying in an interview and saying you're not going back to college... can't think of a good way without sounding like a quitter.. but it's the only way I'll get a job unfortunately

ahh ill have no problem there, just the whole dress ethics part lets me down, perhaps just say you cant afford to return to college so its out of the question for the time being?

its smart casual, so black/grey pants with a collared shirt, there is no real need for a tie but if you can manage to get one it will give a good impression in the interview
