Ah yeah working unsociable hours dealing with drunks and Karen's... hospitality is a soul destroying industry

It sure is and your expected to do it for peanuts in the biggest majority of places. To much of a gap in the minimum wage and a fair living wage.

I actually agree but as a job seeker, you are supposed to be seeking. Don't give them a reason to sanction you.
If you are vaccinated but still in a vulnerable group, this is unsuitable anyway, but would that stands up to a sw inspector?

I worked in a hotel throughout college and made a fortune! We used to just live off tips and save the rest.

The only reason I wouldnt go back to it now is the hours. I have small babies and couldnt really work residents bars again!

Its not all bad. We all had a ball; was hard work but good craic!

The difference from Eastern Europe labor and labor coming from South America or Asia is
The Eastern European was highly educated and skilled also highly motivated and many of them came back or coming back home because wages in them countries minus rent in Ireland getting the same .
Mainly they came to earn money for property in own countries or start own business at home
The labor from South America and Asia are less educated and less motivated.Mainly they come to create life in Ireland using social welfare system.Not all for sure.
The problem will be only bigger and if government will reduce social welfare we only will have more criminal activity on streets.
Ireland will facing serious issues with cheap labor and social housing.

Lets wait when quarantine in Australia will be gone and things in USA will get better !


Tens of thousands Irish youngsters will fly from Ireland !

This is very negative stereotyping. Brazilians have come to Ireland to work and by God they do work, you must never have employed anyone from Brazil, the Brazilian work ethic is incredible.

I think people will go back slowly to hospitality. Definitely a lot of people have moved on to "better" jobs..

But office work is also pretty soul destroying at the bottom end, which is where those previously in hospitality will find themselves.

Just this morning someone got a call about a job, not connected to hospitiality, offering 11 euro an hour. 3 years in college, mortgage, kids, the works.
Trying to do the figures now.

I don't know if anyone is in my boat but I'm struggling to find work at the moment.

I apply for most local jobs on indeed daily and I've even started applying for kitchen porter roles..they show as having received between 10-100 applicants but I never hear back anywhere.

I'd believe they're struggling to fill roles alright but I still think they're going to hold out for experienced candidates as opposed to people applying because they're just out of work and trying hospitality for the first time, if that makes sense.

I currently get about one interview a week out of all the jobs I apply for...

Just my experience.

Was this summer months where they didn't need the extra staff off-peak due to low guest numbers? A part time after school or summer job is a different animal.

Catering is tough. If you need to do it print off some one page CV's with your phone number and drop them in to a few places. People walk in and out of kitchen jobs. They often don't have the time to post and wait.
