    Seems to me this is more a Cork question than a Work & Jobs one ... so am moving it over there.

    welcome to the Ireland of 2011!

    Your best bet is to actually go in person and hand in your CV, get to know someone in the company.

    Have someone look over your CV/cover letter.

    Unfortunately it seems this way, if you know someone who can get you in and give you a chance. Depressing times.

    Most of the betting offices take on extra part timers for the summer as they stay open until 9.30pm every night (except Sundays) from April to September, may be worth getting CVs into both headoffices and individual shops.

    Good Shout RoverJames

    I know they usually start recruiting soon ...saw a sign in BoyleSports in Ballincollig today (near newer Aldi).

    Pretty much, there is almost no point at all in submitting a CV. If you know someone they will tell you of a position and it's just a formality, then get the CV and bring it to the 'interview' when can you start?
