i know plenty that bailed ship due to stressful working conditions, crap money, unsociable working hours and generally being treated like crap. sounds like a dreadful industry to work in.

Its not for everyone that's for sure, I think an inbuilt passion for food helps. Shame that some of the chefs in Waterford are so incredibly thin-skinned when it comes to criticism. They say how strong and resilient they are and then someone makes a point on their business/Facebook page about the food or the service and they practically foam at the mouth in anger. Yes, nobody likes criticism but some of them are just grown babies.

Are there any decent recruitment agencies in and around Waterford? I wont use Hartley People for ethical reasons but if there are any and people have good experiences with them, let me know thanks.

Can't answer your question as I've had no luck with recruitment agencies ever. But what I've seen highlighted over the weekend was that certain agencies are posting non existing jobs on jobs sites in order to boost their stats. A despicable act I'd it's going on.

Because there IS NO decent work available in Waterford!

Maybe in 20 years times there might be but move on and out of here as nothing is happening!

Stop waiting for it to turn! I've been there!

sadly might be the only way

I could return to college and get a degree but at 27 feel a bit old for that. Its becoming the norm for older people to go back to college due to the economic climate

Id love any sort of full time job but there hens teeth in Waterford atm

hopefully it worked out the best for you

I have a part time job for the last number of years but i dont think it would cut the mustard in years too come. Id love any sort of full time job but there hens teeth in Waterford atm

Look, in my view hanging around here doing a degree is a total waste!
Move on, find employment elsewhere and then set about getting your degree
and improving your opportunities for promotion.

Plenty of companies in the Dublin region who are expanding and advertising for employees.
Don't get stuck in a rut down here. It's only 2 hours up the motorway and if it doesn't work out well at least you can say that you tried!
You owe yourself at least that!

you're never too old to go back to education, ive studied with people of pensionable age, its great to see, and older people bring more maturity to a class group. dont rush into it though as its a big commitment and can be very stressful to. make sure you chose something of interest to you, and not necessarily something in which you think will provide better employment opportunities after the fact.

havent a clue to be honest

ive studied loads of things at this stage, mainly scientific and engineering based, the previous course was environmental science

Look, there can't be too many 27 years olds who want to sit in on a course
with the average age of the participants averaging the mid-60's.
At that age you would want to be out, enjoying life, making plans and seeing
them come to fruition! Not sitting in with a group who have lived their lives and
who are now just marking time!

****ing hell, pure ignorance.
What do you think going to college is if its not making plans and watching them come into fruition?
And the average age of participants is mid 60's really? Have you participated in many part time courses or do you have statistics to back up such a claim?

The knowitallfella is more like it.

Wow, looks like you have life all planned out eh? Only one chance to go to college and even then it must be with people your own age eh...
I'm considering doing a Masters in college in 2018 and I will be in my 40s then. plus a lot of the people doing the course will be retired or in their 50s.

That probably blows your mind so ill be sure to come back here and seek your approval when the time comes.

Left college with my qualification when I was 24 (higher cert tourism WIT) but circumstances changed at home and I didn't go on and do the degree course. Was in courses with people of all ages

I'd rather be in a course with older people than hungover 18/19 year olds

Anyway the job scene in Waterford is scare ATM but hopefully it will improve with the new developments
