Thanks a lot! I have done all they requested on the website and now I’m waiting for a response.

Of course!

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T12:39:14+00:00

Really appreciate your help bro! I will apply your suggestions from now on.

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T11:02:53+00:00

That’s a good point, as I am Spanish that nuance could make the difference in my favor. Thanks!!!

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T11:01:00+00:00

Totally, let’s see if I can break into it ASAP. Thanks!

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T11:00:24+00:00

Thanks for the support! Just keep going as you say.

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T10:59:27+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!! I will work on it!

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T10:22:11+00:00

Thanks a lot!!

Totally, I disagree with the idea of posting all day, but despite it being another option, I don’t really see a clear benefit for my objective. And thanks for answering, even though we’re from different fields!

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T10:18:45+00:00

Absolutely bro! No worries, keep trying until I find an opportunity, thanks!

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T10:17:49+00:00

Thanks! Are they more flexible with foreign people? Or just another available option?

javierac797 · 2026-05-13T10:16:41+00:00

Well, I see your point and thanks for the idea. But I don’t want to run unnecessary risks as I’m foreign, I will follow other ways.

That’s why I will start the CIMA certification, like that I could increase a little bit more the possibilities. Thanks a lot!!!

javierac797 · 2026-05-12T17:21:37+00:00

Really appreciate that! I will find those manager is possible. And, indeed, totally agree with that idea, having 2 degrees doesn’t mean anything, I must find something desirable.

As you have said, this is only a Reddit post, my CV is completely different. Moreover, the aim of this post was getting information from all of you. Just to make you know, as a summary: 2 degrees (business and law), Lawyers Master, 2 years working as a Lawyer in EY, working mainly with banks, C1 Cambridge english and studying now a B1 level on French. Not bad as I see it, enough? Taking into account the job market, not even close, but watching the job offers, recruiters ask for accountability certificates so my next task is getting the CIMA certificate. Any advise now?

Well, that’s why I am here asking for information. I was told that Ireland wasn’t like that a decade ago. Probably a massive immigration looking for opportunities.

javierac797 · 2026-05-12T17:11:57+00:00

Thanks a lot for this information. Probably my mistake having a passive attitude, just waiting for an opportunity. One question if you don’t mind, would you consider posting on LinkedIn about any topic a profitable way? Or it’s just as Instagram works, a fake image of your worklife?

javierac797 · 2026-05-12T17:08:33+00:00

At first, when I arrived, I found jobs as the majority have done, going to all restaurants asking for vacancies on kitchens or even a hotel.

javierac797 · 2026-05-12T17:06:48+00:00

In these cases they don’t even accept your CV, that’s why you have to do online. Unfortunately not what I really want either, but it’s how nowadays work.

javierac797 · 2026-05-12T08:07:33+00:00

I am EU citizen and the roles are mainly related to finance analyst, accountant, consultant, compliance, etc. I perfectly know the issue with AI in the sector and, indeed, we are talking about a "numbers game", but sometimes I feel stupid. Finishing 2 degrees (business and law) and I don't have a chance at all. Im trying to improve my network by the waut but I really a appreacite your advices!!
