There are many ways to find new jobs in Ireland and here are a couple of ideas for those of you looking to get started on the job hunt.
Jobs Boards - Using websites dedicated to finding people new jobs specific to their area has always been a very popular way of finding work. These include: LinkedIn.com, Monster.ie, Indeed.com, Irish jobs, jobs.ie, computerjobs.ie, cv-library.ie and more.
Direct Application - Sometimes thinking outside the box can help you stand out amongst all the other applicants that may be doing the exact same thing as you. This is particularly effective when the job is a popular pick amongst people. Find the Hiring Manager through LinkedIn and do some research on the job to make sure this person is something to do with the hiring process. Connect with them and send them your CV giving them a short paragraph on why you’d be good for the job and see what happens!
Use Recruiters - This can be a very effective means of finding exactly the right type of job. Spend a half an hour on the phone with a specialist within your area (e.g php programming). Give them every detail about what your ideal job would look like as well as any expectations you have in terms of location, salary etc.
This recruiter then knows what to keep an eye out for and it is also in their best interest to find you the right jobs that fits. This is free, and you can do it with as many recruiters as you like!
Conferences/Seminars - Every couple of months, some companies such as jobsexpo conduct recruitment seminars/conferences around Ireland. This involves numerous companies coming together in a large location such as Croke Park and basically showing any potential candidates what their company could offer them as their employer.
Anybody on the market for a new job can attend and it is a great way to get out there and see what opportunities are just around the corner.
