    Hello again,

    If anyone can help me, please do!!!!!! I am looking for information or experiences that people had in working in an university setting. Also would you be able to tell me how you managed to get the job.

    Reason is I see on jobs.co.ac.uk lots of jobs advertised for people working as a tutor in UK universities but I can't find jobs/sites like that here in Ireland.
    Pretty frustrating. I am well - qualified, no phd, but MA and dip and good working experience.

    Thanks:)

    In Ireland, tutors often tend to be postgrad students that pick up the work on a casual basis. I've worked as a university tutor for years. Terrible pay. No benefits. No pay over holidays. Believe me, it's not as glamorous as it looks.

    Hey Thanks for your reply.

    I suppose that is the difference between the UK and here, the jobs are for phd students and postgrads so.

    Would you have any experience of the UK or know anyone over there who had this experience?

    Just so we are clear, I'm not doing a postgrad and work as a tutor but a lot of tutors are doing postgrads. I LOVE the work but the poor pay is a killer.

    No experience of the UK at all I'm afraid.
