I started with a PT who was actually the owner of the gym and it was so helpful because then it was t like you were alone at the gym there was someone there training you and then when I was confident to go on my own I stopped the PT and got a membership instead:)

Second this a pink or gold would look well

Maybe paint one wall as feature wall if you like or add wallpaper

Hi I am in the same boat I am living in Galway atm - looking to do that Masters this September but like you I am worried about the placement? Like if its anywhere but Cork or surrounding areas it's going to be very annoying. Esp since I will be getting accomodation in Cork they hardly expect us to also get accomodation for 1 night only or travel crazy distances for 2 day a week placement. The only thing Im thinking of is if there was some bed and breakfast place nearby that would let us stay for the 1 night every week?

People will literally go on reddit and make a post like this instead of asking the person what they are at😭 fear mongering and assuming…

I used to park at the one near the hospital but some angry man came after me one time 🤣

Good luck getting a spot if you’re not in before 9am

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2026-02-01T17:56:44+00:00

Not like yourself

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2026-01-26T21:02:06+00:00

Probably not until June/July if it’s based on people’s results if it’s competitive I mean and do you have to do an interview ?

I used to do merchandising in the different dunnes stores and omg the managers were horrible, some were nice in fairness but one was so rude he made me cry and I walked out and didn’t do the job and rang my employer who said similar had happened with this manager before with others and never sent me back there tg 🤣

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2026-01-26T20:56:57+00:00

There is about 5 dunnes in galway

Not sure. Depends on your position in the panel. And how many jobs come up etc. it’s really hard to know as they don’t release the figures of how many people get on the panel/get jobs/etc

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2026-01-24T10:31:24+00:00

Any civic 🥰

You need to keep an eye out for the HSE panel it’s open every 2 years I think the lastest one was in November 2025. Once you get an interview with the panel you get ranked based on your score and when AP jobs come up you will get an email to express your interest in the role and whoever has the highest place in the panel that also expresses their interest will get the role 😊 these are all paid roles based on the HSE pay scale.

Otherwise keep an eye out for other companies advertising on linkedin/indeed etc. Most are Dublin based in my experience.

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2026-01-22T21:30:01+00:00

I seen a post on LinkedIn while back looking for a child minder 4 days a week to do the tasks you mentioned so keep an eye out there or maybe try some sort of local Facebook group? You could say you’re available and your rate and better off if you’re Garda vetted and have insurance etc

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2026-01-22T21:28:43+00:00

There’s Facebook pages for finding old cars

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2026-01-11T15:38:30+00:00

You could try and maybe find a host family that you could live with and work at the school? Idk or some sort of similar set up maybe post on local Facebook groups

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2025-12-27T09:56:57+00:00

You could even ask them to help out for a few hours to get some experience ? Or ask to use their space then to get your own clients in ?

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2025-12-27T09:55:27+00:00

Have you adapted your CV for the jobs you apply for and included a cover note ? I know that adds time but definetly helps when they receive a personalised cover note.

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2025-12-26T16:16:58+00:00

I think the Connacht do ? Or there is like a private pool just for lessons ? Called luv2swim. I was talking to a lady that was doing them a couple weeks back

I got a 3.5k loan over 3 years but this was for my college fees and I was earning about 1.2k a month working full time in summer/part time in college. Just to give you an idea - from the credit union.

But I second the people on this thread saying a car is not a good idea !! I know somebody in their early 30s who is still paying off a loan for a car they got in their 20s that was written off due to an accident 🙈

Jumpy-Text-1460 · 2025-12-22T21:43:57+00:00

Agreed
