Any places hiring?

Its gonna be tough to find a summer job on the 24th of June. It dosnt look like Ill be getting a grant next year either (according to qualifax.ie). Is anyone else in the same boat??

Yeah i usually find it hard to get a summer job in my little old town.


Thankfully I'm going to Barcelona to work in my auntie's bar during the summer as an accountant for the third year in a row. Although I must admit if it wasn't for that I'd never get a job. NEVER!!!!!!!!

baby*cham*bell

hopefully get work in pub or sumting for a few weeks

I'll probably be doing .NET/SQL development again for Easons but if that falls through I'm [strike]sleepless[/strike] jobless in [strike]Seattle[/strike] Dublin.

I have a job working in a hospital for about €11 an hour, also I will be doing administrative work for my Dad for €8 an hour, I will be babysitting some evenings for €8 an hour, and I will be helping my mother occassionally doing flowers for weddings, where I'll get about €150 per day. And I've got a lump sum coming to me at some point too. So I'm happy. Oh, and I'm going on two holidays as well

I had two different jobs planned to keep me busy for 5 weeks but then I was struck down after having to get my appendix removed, so I'll be out of action for a few weeks and will miss most (if not all) of the work. Why?!?!?!?!

randomfella

ahhh u lucky lass, i'm debating taking the summer "off" and just relax. But i'd feel really stupid doing that because i'm not 100% i got my first choice. PRob try get a job in LIffey Valley. But soo many people apply there its difficult to get in anywhere. I'm not working in a food place. If only there was somewhere local, all these 5th years taking our jobs!

worked full summer last year 9-5, 5 days a week, had no holiday and i felt i had no summer. So i don't wana work as hard. meh i wana go inter-railing so i'm definetly gonna enjoy this summer.

john david sports are hiring in town...dublin that is.....henry street...i was workin there last summer and up to november...got my job back...starting nxt fri.....hate working.....but they are looking for mor staf!!

Scarinae

Try www.nixers.com, they sometimes advertise for lounge staff etc - I used to work in a pub, great craic, and the tips were excellent. It'll be way nicer now as well thanks to the smoking ban. I've worked in a fast food restaurant, clothes shop and a pub - my advice is avoid fast food restaurants like the plague, clothes shops are really really boring, and pubs are fun but can be exhausting if you have to work until four in the morning

bah, I have to get a job this summer... university in britain ain't cheap! ;_;
I'm hoping to get a place in a bookshop... any bookshop, anywhere, so long as I'm working with books or computer games I'll be fine.

wheresthebeef

i applied for term time work in the civil service and got 10week contract with the revenue commissioners at over 10euro an hour.
And i got offered a full time job with The Director of Public Prosecutions but had to turn it down cos of university.
Anyone thinking about next summer should keep their eye on www.publicjobs.ie for the summer work. its dead handy and you can specify your location to a certain degree.

Fishie??
Are you doing Care Assistant. Thats a great job too. You can come about with between 120 and 140 per shift. and it doubles at christmas and new years. my friend did new years and got 265 euro for one shift. He is with the Care Assistants On Call Agency (branch of Nurse on Call)

Scarinae

Yup, that's what I'm doing. It's double on Sundays as well, and overtime. It's my first time working at this kind of job, if it works out and I get enough experience at it I might join one of those agencies

JohnCleary

I was going to try and get away without working but I have to pay insurance on the car!

Scarinae

Do you know how much my car insurance is? Warning, it'll make you sick (oh, how I love being female)

Johnerr

sarahg_angel69

Fishie,

I've done my immunity, got the Garda clearance, and they're training me in for the Manual Handling etc. Whe I start, I'll probably be doing mostly cleaning, but I don't mind that

Ok, you asked for it... My car insurance is €35 for six months. Yes, i only have a provisional licence. My mum and I were going to split the cost of my insurance, but when she heard how little it was, she said feck it and paid the lot

oq4v3ht0u76kf2

I think I just died a little inside... my car insurance is roughly 22 times that (for the same time period) - as a named driver on a POS with a provisional licence.

Scarinae

I know, isn't it just sickening? But it's great for me. Ohhhh I looooooove being female........ (Do you think it'll be less when I actually get my licence?)

oq4v3ht0u76kf2

I can't see how it could get much less... I mean; the cost of someone entering your details, the manufacturing of your disc and the associated postage costs probably run to around €15 [I'm exaggerating slightly, but...] so unless they start paying you to insure with them I can't see how!
