Hello, please is it a problem if my company cannot provide payslips because it’s a startup? However I submitted my salary account and indicated my monthly income that’s properly narrated and I asked my employer to state my income in a reference letter. My father is actually the one sponsoring me and all his documents and payslips are intact. Please I need your responses. Thank you

hi guys

Been a long time

i am indeed tired

Finally finished my Msc Accountiung and Finance from Griffith college with a H1(First Class)

I have a job i am currently managing and if i work 5 days i make about 350euros weekly and sometimes above, its a menial job inside the cold room(-3 degrees)

When i started the job initially, i enjoyed it, but i have goals and ambition as i dont want to stay in that job for a long time

Now my issue is all the company i am applying to need stamp 4, only big four and top investment banks and firms hire stamp 1G holders. A lot of international student suffer this issue ATM. Only few courses such as computer science land jobs before finishing college.

I have applied and truthfully i am getting tired of my life because i cant see myself as a factory worker anylonger, my body is getting weak as days go on

i am only 27 years old and i have bright future ambitions set for myself In terms of savings, i am close to zero as cost of living is high, spend about 500 euros on rent, transport 80 euros and feeding both at work and home 130 monthly, lyka 15 euros.

truthfully i am tired and falling into depression little by little, its only my GF who is black dutch who brings joy to me atm. She earns triple of what i make

I am wondering if i marry her, i will get the stamp4 but am i ready with savings of 1k now, although the govt in europe care for their citizens but i am in the middle of the sea. I love her and would want to settle with her, yet i want to know her deeper before marriage., i get the stamp in 4-6 months if i do it this December.Love is sweet when the both parties are comfortable

Now the thought is, if i don't secure a good job after settling down, what is left for me. I love her so much and she is very confident in me that I will make it but i am losing confidence in myself after so many rejections from different company's. I worked as an accountant in Nigeria for 3 years, so I'm not a fresh graduate.

My father didn't make me suffer one day, i still have inherited wealth of 30k euros in treasury bills, so i wouldn't want to bring children into this world to suffer them

I am tired truthfully and confused at this stage, i need help.

Please guy how much tuition deposit does Irish Universities ask you to pay after getting admission?

Bjrokenhear003:


GBAM U SAID IT WELL
its God favour and smart work
"let's make our nation great again"

RANKING DEPENDS ON THE COUNTRY YOU DOMICILE, EXAMPLE OF IRISH RANKINGS ON JOB APPLICATIONS CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE :
1. IRISH RESIDENT
2. EU CITIZENS
3. EASTERN EUROPEAN
4. AMERICANS
5. INDIANS/CHINESE
6. AFRICANS

Despite the fact that some EU countries don't speak fluent English yet they get the job.

Why they find it difficult to hire these graduates from NO 4 -6 is because they have certain conditions they need to meet, else they can't hire you and most of the employment contracts are for 2-3 years, so if your 2 years Stamp 1G expires, they have no other excuse than to sponsor you

The conditions these companies need to meet are very tight and only top investment firms, Accounting Organizations(Pwc, KPMG etc) and blue-chip high tech organizations meet these conditions due to their capital structure and influences, these include but arent limited to the below points :

1. They have to prove to the Immigration officer that no Irish or EU individual can occupy that role
2. They have to keep that position vacant for the next 12 weeks
3. They have to carry out different advertising campaigns such as advert in newspapers, facebook, Instagram, indeed, radio and tv stations etc
4. They will have to pay close to 1000 euros for your critical work visa permit
5. They have to provide Garda vetting which takes about 2-3 weeks to show your criminal record

In order for you to get a job in the top organizations listed above comes the toughest challenge as there are hundreds of people competing with you to get that role. Now you have to score at least 2.1 and above 400 points in your SSCE when converted to Irish standard, Some companies emphasize that you need to score Grade A or B in Maths or English ( An example is a screenshot added to this post)

After meeting the requirements, you need to take an aptitude test which is extremely hard, the point of this is to reduce applicant to the barest minimum. I passed 2 and failed 3 test. Literally you will need to buy practice kit to prepare for them.

TELL ME THE SMALL AND MEDIUM FIRM CAN WAIT FOR 12 WEEKS TO FILL A POSITION when they can get an EU or a stamp4 holder as soon as possible and this hindrance forces many people to do the otherwise

Lastly, no agent or school can tell you all I said, they just want their commission and your fees. If you coming, just know what you want to enter, I'm not saying this to discourage anyone but at least someone should let people know the truth not false advertising campaign and promises from these colleges.

It's a war zone. reminds me of the song by sean Kingston ft lil Wayne(at war)

Hello Bjrokenhear003,

I saw your post days ago but I couldn't get to comment as I had alot of catch up with and deadlines to meet,but I have about 10days break so I decided to add my little contribution.

Firstly, congratulations on your 1st class from Griffith College.

What I am going to suggest might not be applicable in Ireland as I don't know much about the system, but this worked for me in the previous country I was.

Does the visa you have allow you to work for a company as an intern without them sponsoring your visa? If yes,
you should considered applying for graduate internship in a company you love to work in and has what it takes to sponsor someone. Even if it's working for free for 1 or 2 months ( suggest working for free if they say no opening, tell them you want to learn), this experience would boost your CV,with this you can show you have got Ireland experience relevant to your field and you might be favoured at the end to be retained and become full time employee. While you do the internship, don't stop applying for jobs o.

Also, you can change your approach of applying for jobs. You can search for companies on LinkedIn especially in Ireland, connect with top personnel and chat them up, ask for potential internship or graduate roles. Even if no roles advertised on their website, they will refer your CV ,that's if they want you to send it to them. You need to sell yourself, you have a 1st class, and ACCA which is plus to any company.

Don't limit your applications to Ireland, try other countries Netherland, Switzerland,UK somewhere like Scotland ( I saw sometime ago that PWC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY, Bank of America in UK and some other places that were recruiting finance/accounting graduates) and now is the write time to apply for graduate roles as most companies are currently recruiting graduates including the oil and gas ( check Exxonmobil, shell for commercial roles, these companies will sponsor you irrespective of where you live) .

As a back up plan for you, while you apply for jobs; like other people have mentioned, is to try Canada Express entry. You are 27years old, you already have 110 points with your age. What you need to do now , apply to WES to validate your certificates,(SSCE,Bsc,Msc (it takes about 2months, depending on how fast your schools respond), then while you wait for feedback , you have to write IELTS General and try to score minimum of 7 in Listening, Writing , Reading and speaking. The higher your score, the better. You need about 12K CAD in your account to show you can survive before you get a job , apply to be in the Express entry pool. PLEASE NOTE, JOB IS NOT AUTOMATIC ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD OOO. There are people with good results like you also applying.

Like others mentioned, if you are still interested in studying, you can apply for PhD in the UK, USA Canada, Australia etc ,look for fully paid scholarship . Most phd students can work as a graduate assistant and get paid while studying .

This is the little I can contribute now, I need to run as I have lot of pending courseworks to do.

By the way, I have attached as link to a 35 pages pdf of companies with current openings in 2019/2020 with closing date, it was sent to us by my school few days ago, look through if you find anything relevant.

I tried attaching the Pdf directly here but it was larger than 250kB maximum accepted size for documents. Kindly copy and paste this link on any browser to download it. If it doesn't work, kindly send me a message to my email address above and I will forward the pdf to you directly.

https://wetransfer.com/downloads/ea7ca357fe49c7abd422ce7d13cace2020191024115032/f2c59d77be148922a4fe1c71375781c920191024115032/456e2e

The above link expires in 7 days ( 31st October 2019) and you wont be able to download the pdf again.


Goodluck.

Regards.

Louis

Please, don't take a wrong decision to marry out of frustration, desperation or depression, unless you truly love the person.

Femi0078:
Hi please I have been a silent reader on this platform. I’m confused why some company doesn’t want to employ some of you because they will sponsor your visas?? I heard Ireland gives PR to Graduate students after 2 years? So why are you all not applying for that and then use it to work anywhere in Ireland? I’m just confused

Please enlighten me

Yemiiee:
Does anyone have any news on those that sent in appeals last week in September cause it’s over a month now that I and some other folks sent in supporting documents for our appeals but no response, I don’t understand what’s going on. Anyone here with a similar experience
