    The county enterprise boards can give you some help and guidance if you have any ideas. This time of year is good as they need to spend there budget.
    Look man, I do what I can do to help y'all. But the game is out there, and it's either play or get played.

    Maybe now is the time to take a chance to try something different.I donīt know what your personal circumstantes are, re. family mortgage etc, but if you have no commitments, now is the time to take advantage of that. Once you have settled down , with a family or buy property, you are tied down, and have less opportunities open to you.
    Sorry, meant to say, sorry you got let go.

    Another relative went on a " holiday " to the USA a few years ago ,as luck would have it the person he was sitting beside ended up employing him talk about luck !!

    hey hows it going

    in 2003 i done a springboard course , it was all inclusive trip to canada and done a ecdl up in belfast it was amazing , if not for a career its worth the experience ,

    im 30 now and doing a fas course on computers last year i done a other fas course on computers too , hopefully will get a job from it this time

    there is feck all jobs out there at the moment but it is starting to pick up so hang in there ,

    from 16 to the age of 25 i was employed on and off , when i was off i was in colege in canada

    i got let go in 2008 had some savings and traveled 2010-2011

    maybe go do a college course , do a intern you get 50 ontop of your doll i know its not much but some do give jobs at the end i know my friend is working now and hes in a good paying job ,

    you could start your own buisness

    there are many things you could do you seemed very busy for a while there take some you time to find out what YOU really want to do

    I hear garda is recruiting these days.
    the french foreign legion is always on the look out for good people.

    Both will offer you serious career plan.
