Dreaming about going on an adventure in another country when you go on holiday is a thing, but leaving with a precise project is an other thing. Indeed, it is completely
possible to propose your talent and your skills in another country than your native country. If Ireland is the country you want to give it a shot, then you're in the right place. The following is 10 ways or steps that would help you find a good job in Ireland:
1- Breakdown the language barrier:
To
leave your country to go to work in Ireland, deserves a serious
and meticulous preparation. At first, estimate your level in English.
If you do not speak English well, do not panic. Begin by
refreshing your knowledge in it through reading and listening to more English. Reading is a good way to call back your school learning and the listening allows you to pick up the accent. If an employer questions you
about your level, do not lie, but emphasize, please, your capacity of
adaptation and your fast learning.
2- Update your CV:
The
standards of writing a CV vary from one country to another. So, before sending a CV to an agency
or a professional contact in Ireland, you should learn how to present a CV to be accepted in Ireland. Your experience and your capacities are to be put first. Your diplomas may have no equivalent in Ireland, thus think of
looking for footbridges between your diplomas and those of the country.
Your employer will be more interested in your capacities to
fill the functions of the post for which you apply then by a list of diplomas. Your CV can be up to 4 pages, so do not hesitate to fill it by giving a
maximum of useful information.
Note that the letter in support of application does not exist any more in Ireland, and an e-mail is sufficient to present yourself quickly and request an appointment.
3- Be clear on the social networks:
Before
packing your suitcase and leaving to Ireland, do a cleaning on your accounts on the personal social networks
and register yourself on professional social networks such as LinkedIn (very used by the English
speakers), and My Space (Section Jobs in English) for
example.
Look
quite particularly after the titles, after the
descriptions, after photos and after the keywords. Do not hesitate to
participate in the professional discussions and sign your user name. A
possible recruiter will see your seriousness and your motivation there.
4- Show your availability:
When
you fill in your CV, think of specifying that you are already on
site. It is important to reassure the recruiters. You found an
accommodation, you are settling down and you can appear easily
at the interviews. Furthermore, by having beforehand to adjust all the small details, you will be more available,
physically and morally, to do more job search, and even see your new employment opportunities. Thus, don't forget to indicate well, when you apply on-line or at agencies, that you have an address.
5- Emphasize your motivation and your determination:
Your diplomas may not have the same importance that they have in your native country, when you are in Ireland. And they are
no, inevitably, the sesame, which will open you all the doors of jobs
which please you. You have to try hard to sell, at best, your experience, your
know-how, your skills and your motivation. Do not neglect the network,
the contacts, the agencies and the unsolicited applications.
6- Agencies
temporary work:
Try to put down your CV in as many places as you can. Indeed,
the possibilities of distribution of your CV are numerous. You can move arround, ask to have an appointment with a councillor, and take all the possible the tests for which they could ask
you. It is important that you keep this appointment, because it is then this
councillor, that can guide you towards a company and to find you a work
in Ireland. Here are some agencies to help you in your job search: Adecco Irlande, Approach celebrity, Recruit Ireland, Move to Dublin.

databases of these sites to build up a fishpond and recruit then

application. You

and that this work in Ireland pleases you, go for it.
9- Get directly in touch with the employers:
The
social networks have this service which we did not have before internet.

charge of the recruitment. Useless to pass by a recruitment agency, which
would be expensive to you and would not bring you the guarantee to find
you a job in Ireland. Collect yourself together and knock at their door. Use your professional
social networks to chase them and get in contact.
