What Is The Job Market Like For Low Level Jobs In Ireland Vs Uk by Questions4u: 2:41pm On Apr 08, 2023
I'm in Ireland and moved from UK but struggling badly to get a job. I have more than 300 applications sent but only got 1 call center Jon offer which i rejected because it would have been trouble.
I have applied for software development (ruby on rails) , language jobs (Spanish), remote administrative jobs, warehouse Jobs and even bin /waste operative, security guard. Got turned down from all these. In the UK, with that many job applications, I would have gotten into something. It is not.my CV as I have 5 different CVS and all my CVS were formatted by chatgpt and bard. I also tried to apply for healthcare assistant jobs and while those were eager to have me on, I was told that I needed the Irish qqi qualification first, which takes several months to a year to obtain. Anyone in Ireland have advice what jobs Nigerians in Ireland typically find easy to get into? I'm finding it very depressing and demotivating chasing jobs this hard.

Why not try to apply for professional jobs also?

Thanks for your reply. What sort of.professional job? I am.open to anything. I am even thinking of going to learn truck driving or software testing anything to secure a temporary job so that I can be able to kick on and develop myself from that point on. I only need a tiny respite so money starts coming in and I will use that to quickly retrain myself in front end development or python data analytics etc.

Questions4u... How's it going?

You should be using ChatGPT to drill down, summarise and get customised answers to your immediate needs. Type in the right prompts to find specific jobs and members of the Nigerian Diaspora community associations in Ireland and the UK who can give you job leads, etc. FB, Twitter, WhatsApp groups are legit places you can find Nigerian Diaspora connects.

All the best.

Where in Ireland are you and what is your area of specialization?

I'm around Leitrim. Regarding specialization, I am not specialized. I had been in mostly low to mid level sales and administrative roles prior in a different country. Can know up apps in Rails and have a fair idea of help desk support.

I'm around Leitrim. Specialization is anything administrative or i.t based that brings money. If it's an option (it rarely is) something remote would be great but I think that will be asking for too much.

Send me a DM lets talk.
