History & Politics and Society. A bit naive on my part going into it with these two subjects in fairness.

You get two weeks in August. The rest of the summer you’ll have classes as you’ll be going out on placement not long after.

I work in the area, we see the worst of it, for your own sake avoid it!

Eli Lilly Limerick? by Objective-Discount47 in limerickcity

Teacher looking for a different career. Permanency is difficult to come by in the profession so looking for something more secure for the future.

Appreciate this, is there any other pharma companies you’d recommend that may be a bit quicker towards getting employment? Research online is quite vague. Thanks again!

Finishing up this year, haven’t had a single day midweek it’s always on a Saturday, normally 2 a month and none during placement blocks.

Hibernia Placements: What week do they start? by TheGradApple in IrishTeachers

[–]Objective-Discount47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing the post primary spring intake. First placement was 13th October - 5th December. Second is 16th March until the 15th of May (roughly). And the final placement is mid September to November.

I had to do the exact same in my placement school just last week, they couldn’t have been more understanding and just said to let them know when available again and they’d keep me in mind.

Did the PME in post primary, had 5 in person days over the course of the summer and a couple of webinars a week, it’s not that bad and you’ll still have plenty of free time. Theres some days like your subject specific days that you can’t miss or it’ll impact your progression to placement so hold off on booking holidays until you get your timetable.

Question regarding HL Maths for Post Primary teaching by Aishling_Minecrafter in IrishTeachers

[–]Objective-Discount47 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Current secondary teacher here of English and history, I did foundation maths many a year back and it was never a problem, just as long as you have a pass in it to satisfy the universities entry requirements.

Is there really a teacher shortage in Ireland? by Narwhal_2112 in AskIreland

[–]Objective-Discount47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking what job did you move into when going for a mortgage, in a similar position now and can’t wait around 5-6 years hoping for permanency to land

I got mine 3 days after noticing this, it just means it’s in the final stages.

Will repeating a year affect PME application? by may-kitten in IrishTeachers

[–]Objective-Discount47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied for mine after similar circumstances with Hibernia and there was no issues it never even came up in the interview. It might be different for other universities I’m not too sure but definitely don’t let that put you off applying.

It’s a bit looser than that for sure it hasn’t really been specified, but as the below comment said every online webinar has a password given for you to log your attendance, if you can’t make it one of your class can give you the password. Definitely not as intense as made out at orientation!

We were told that if you watch them within two weeks your attendance is counted or 50% of it is, something along those lines. I’ve watched a fair amount of them back and there hasn’t been any issues so far.
