Unemployment

[SkStu]

Good stuff,
i am sure a few medical staff would love the opportunity to go there.

what about accounts and finance postions?

accounts and finance positions are a little harder to justify fast-tracking visas for as there are plenty of local graduates and (relatively) less vacancies. But interestingly, one lady who is coming with me is coming specifically with a view to finding a Director of Finance - only problem is she is based in Northern Saskatchewan (La Ronge) which is quite remote. Theyll pay very handsomely and will pay all your moving costs, free accoms even but you could really only do it for a 2 or 3 years before moving to a bigger centre (Regina or Saskatoon).

Good on you - Stu. I would love to be given such an opportunity. You are helping Irish people who may otherwise find ends hard to meet. You are probably helping people more than many Irish politicians,

Now that ive got my plug out of the way, what are peoples views on this?
.....I know some people are very resentful to this "cherry picking".

Hmmm.....where exactly are these recruitment fairs taking place?

[SkStu]

i have figured out that its the Working Abroad Expo in the RDS and Silver Springs in Cork.

Dont lay eggs on my food.

Hold on, this is Saskatchewan, not BC, or Ontario, or, god help them, even PEI, but out where the Mounties are men and the horses are scared. Then again, from my last experience of medical staff in Ireland, it's just about enough for them :-)

Were you on newstalk stu? Wouldn't listen to hook, but people giving out on politics.ie (shocking I know) about some dub saying it was grand as he still had facebook. Assuming it wasn't you, as surely you'd have said facebook and foot.ie...

[SkStu]

Haha - yeah that was me... Was on Ireland am and Pat Kenny today... I was just making the point that you can stay in touch easier than before and I actually was talking about Skype More so in terms of talking to my family every week... I knew some people would disapprove of the fact. No matter what haters gonna be hatin...

The lunatics have taken over the asylum on politics.ie. Wouldn't worry about anything posted there - I'm surprised anyone's left, and they're not holed up with their shotguns and tins of beans because of the meltdown that would come when the atm's stopped working ("after the weekend/ end of the month" every week for 4 feckin years!)

You wouldn't do much damage with a tin of beans.

The knobs probably forgot the tin opener anyway (and if they did forgot it, it was the Croke Park Agreements fault)

The flatulence could make armageddon look like a walk in the park!!!

1st day of the expo today. Absolutely insane. Estimates that 6000 people went through and another 2500 were turned away at the gates into Simmonscourt as they were locked at 3pm.

Pretty sad state of affairs to be honest. So many people desperate for work...
