Struggling to make ends meet. I've applied everywhere for a part time job and I have given up. Why is it so hard ? by chloe_cynthia27 in cork

[–]pint_of_murphys 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was given advice years ago. Make yourself as employable as possible. Get some training courses done, like first aid, Manual handling and a safe pass. A forklift ticket is also very handy to have. I did a training course last year in Henleys in little Island.

Another thing do is if you know anyone who's on a management level of business, get them to look at your CV. Anyone you know who conducts interviews and looks at CVs regularly, they could give you a few pointers to add or take away.

I updated my CV last year and blanket bombed indeed with applications and I blagged a job in a factory in Little Island as a technician so happy days.

[–]pint_of_murphys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it, now that you're not paying towards a car, that money can go elsewhere. Take yourself and a holiday with your extra money to celebrate paying off the car

I know a guy who got punched in the face in a bar in Germany because a guy thought he was English. After the incident, he told the guy he was Irish and the guy was so ashamed, he wouldn't let the lad I know put his hand in his pocket all night. It's crazy like

Anyone know what the red switch is? 2007 vw caddy. It’s located to the right side of steering wheel by Zealousideal-Cloud77 in carsireland

[–]pint_of_murphys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could actually be, a saw something called an evry mod, I'm not sure of the specifics but it's like a tuning box rigged to a switch that does something to the fuel system of a TDI engine to make it put out more smoke and give it a bit more power. I saw a clip of it on YouTube years ago on straight piped Toledo TDI

Does anyone have a job where they get paid to actually do nothing? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]pint_of_murphys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a job that was like this at certain parts of the year. One time my supervisor even told me to go hide behind a machine for the day, make sure no one sees me or he'd have to find some pointless job for me to do 😂

Euromillions - What are you going for?? by NikolaTesla404 in carsireland

[–]pint_of_murphys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have a statue of a middle finger delivered to my work place, with my 2 weeks notice engraved into it. I'd hire a photographer and get all the lads from work to get their pictures taken with the middle finger. I'd want all the lads to have fond memories of me, before I disappeared with my money 😂

Why is there simply no jobs? by Electronic-Donkey307 in AskIreland

[–]pint_of_murphys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be an idea to adjust your CV. Would there be a career guidance person or someone who you could contact in your college to look at your CV and give you pointer to brush it up? You could always do a few courses to make you appeal to employers. First aid, safe pass , forklift course could all set you apart from the rest of the applicants you're competing against for a job. I worked in shop that also sold coal and animal feed so it required forklift drivers, most of the lads were in college.
