Do people really want to work?

[warmcome]

i try to make a living on my own-i've always found
work offers scarce in Ireland-my parents had to leave here to get a living
and that trend has returned. cut the red tape-allow capitalism to occur!

€1600 a month children's allowance? that's 11.42 kids!!

Well the figures were something crazy, more than he's going to get working.
Point is he didn't want the job.

They are trying to bring that in
But again It can be harsh for some
Say again if you have kids or medical card or whatever and you get offerd a poxy job on the new minimum wage and end up loosing more working than you would on teh dole

Obviously it should be more enforced for the long term unemployed
Thise who refuse to work

easily fixed cut all benefits by 30% after one year and a further 10% after that

but i really want an accounting technitions job, since being made redundant i have decided on a new path
i am due to finnish my course in may, and have been looking for work experiance in that area as i have to get two years experiance to enable me to get my qualification

so think im going to have to volenteer my self one day a week over the summer to get some experiance, so hopfuly i can get a full time job in sept or so

god i really do talk to much lol

Some people don’t bother with the 2 years work experience record for your course (which I done as well), me being one of those people, lol.

I found it very awkward to get experience in the beginning. I mean, I was working while studying in a medical device company, getting close to 23 K a year (as I was new) but used to earn much more then that with savage overtime paid double time, also shift allowance (even if I wasn’t on any shift, lol). I was getting easily 600 – 900 Euro.

Seeing I was starting with that accounting course, I thought I better look around for some suitable jobs. I applied EVERYWHERE and that was in the good times ....
Online jobs, newspapers, I even sent a tonne of letters and CVs to accountancy practices I found on Yellow Pages. One place in Washington Street offered me an interview, I went there and the one was acting like she owns the universe. She could not understand why I want to give up a better paying job for a trainee position, which would have paid me peanuts for my work. I hated her attitude and I kept very reserved during the interview, as I really would not have liked working there. It was a relief I didn’t get the job.

I did find in the end a job that I loved and even now I have regrets I left from there. I would try to go back in a bit, but I am too ashamed the way I left, like a very ungrateful person. They took me in with no experience, with the course not finished, offered me promotions after promotions and raises and I left without even bothering to give them notice … after missing for a few weeks ...

Well, no point in getting carried away with that that story now. What I meant to say is:

- If you want to go in practice, it’s very hard to get a trainee position. They will teach you everything you know to complete your work experience record but you need to be very lucky or to pull some strings to get there.
- If you go to work for the big companies accounting departments or in a financial shared centre, forget about your work experience record. You will be more likely working for Accounts Payable or Receivable, as they don’t hire in General Accounting. You will need so much time to fill out your record, working a few years your way up to GA … it’s not really worth it because by working so much you will get a very solid CV anyway.
- If you are lucky, find someone that has a smaller company, where only a handful of people work in accounts. You get paid less but you can get all the experience you need for your record.

What I did after my course? I just asked the Institute for a letter stating all my results in one page. I told them I need it for my employer or for some further studies in accounts (ACCA, CIMA etc). They have sent it to me and this was good enough proof for any employers I had afterwards.

My point: if you need to do most of the stuff, you will need also your record. But if you use your studies as a stepping stone in any job in accounts / finance, then your record is not really that important.

Also, if you really like accounts, more likely you want to study further. Why paying the membership to the accounting technicians institution when paying the higher institution fees as well?

Unwarranted personal comments like this have no place on a friendly forum.
Kelly makes a positive contribution to society in general.
Women like her should be encouraged, not given a hard time

Kelly's affairs are in perfect order, she does pay her dues.
I am not sure why such subject would be of any interest to you ???
Did she ask to see your P60 from last year or what
