Is that the ‘recovery’ there?
Please tell me this is a joke… like the seagull one, right?
I’m guessing so (or hoping so)? I can’t imagine any manager would want to interview that many people. Has to be a joke, right?
“Londis grafton st “
Tragic
Seriously, presume for a job as an ordinary worker, not a manager or whatever.
The green shoots as Enda often says are ehh, where.
The horror people lining up for a summer job in the city centre
Exactly, is this not just teenagers applying for a teenager job?
There’s plenty of help wanted signs around city centre at the moment. not sure what the attraction was at this particular venue
Keep the recovery going…..and other such crap.
I prefer… ‘keep the cover up going’
There seems to be a lot of people on the left hand side of the street? I remember, years ago, I was in a city centre and I remarked to myself (as I often do, in my own company),that there seems to be a lot of people on the right hand side of the street?
The mask is slipping – try to stay in character ;-)
I have to say, Sheik Yahbouti – I don’t know what you mean?
I know what the Sheik means.
Hey, Shakey…
I never expected to still be able to bother you even when I’m not here.
I’m going out for a drink to celebrate, but I shall return…sometime…
Hey, Upside-down-name guy. So, we meet again? (so to speak). I do hope that when you return from your drink, you’ll offer up a line or two of your enchanting poetry?
I’m back now, like I never left, like as if I was always here, but more drunk.
I was watching the pub in the football, but ALL the girls who were coming on to me were too young, so I said I was going to the jacks and slipped out the back door without saying ‘good-bye’.
I hope your night went better.
“Watching the pub in the football”, you say? That sounds like fun, and unusual.
Shayna…you have discovered my weakness…
I’m confused now…
I want to compose a witty limerick…I really do…
But you suggested that I should so I shan’t.
I refuse to do anything that I think I’ve been told to do.
Get it?
Got it?
-Good.
I’m sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq, and I take my instructions from nobody.
(I still want to write a limerick though…let me check what this thread is about…I’ll get back to you, yeah?)
*Inspired by Business Mouse…http://tinyurl.com/jajjpcb or something…I don’t facking care you cnut….
-Where’s my machine-gun?’
‘watching the pub in the football’ is shorthand for exactly what it sounds like..
I watch the people, not the telly.
Stop messing.
One of these days you’ll upset me.
Click mi name, likkle bwoy…test we……
can anyone confirm this?
Passed the queue earlier, the sign on the door said “Open Interviews: Chopped”.
The crowd, was indeed, massive.
Ok, So it’s to work in a trendy healthy eating joint. Not a shop. Makes sense
I walk Grafton st every morning for the past 8 years and never realised that there’s a londis or “centra” on the street.
that’s because you’re a dunce. Go back to Longford
you do realise that Dublin is a terrible excuse for a modern city don’t you ? I’d say quality of life on average is far superior in Longford or Bratislava.
Pretty unnecessary attack on your capital city
More a defence of Longford, no… :)
Maybe there be a special, special discount 90% off end of season or the world as we know it knock down sale on.
Again.
The “developing ” world is on the move to the small parts of the world where a living can be made. US Western Europe Australia. Worsening wealth inequality isn’t just local but global. Expect to see massive emigration here in the next 20 years
So much for the “boom”
Students. Fast buck. Word spread. Does not reflect economic health of nation.
If only the others here weren’t so thick!
It’s clearly students applying for student jobs, I don’t see any accountants with their ties drooped to their third opened shirt button, three day beard growth, hair a mess on the brink of mental brekdown just trying to make sure they get the mortgage payment in this month – So yeah, the picture is no indication of economic health
it did remind me of when I came back to Ireland in 2010 and read an article about 250 people applying for an job in a chipper in Ennis, amongst them accountants and solicitors.
Couldn’t picture that now which shows we have recovered by lot
So because only the little people, students or not, have to stand in lines for a job that means it’s okay.
typical attempt to search for an negative in any positive statement
That’s precisely the story I was aiming to conjure with the image of the accountant in my post
I know for a fact that the market is different now, it’s back to a job seekers market where more demands can be made by the interviewee.
To add to this – what does show a picture of our economic health is the current jobs market. One need only pop onto jobs.ie, irishjobs.ie, jobs ireland, intreo – the jobs market is absolutely saturated right now.
What is interesting is that so many people are still unemployable; either they’ve been on the dole for so long that they can’t contemplate life without it or they won’t get out of bed for less than 60K.
This is unfortunately a massive problem, there’s a certain inertia among a large number of people who haven’t been employed for the last number of years. THe jobs are there but the pool of candidates hasn’t grown. I’m not sure where the failing is in the system that caused this but it really shouldn’t be the case.
+1
I like your book on Hillary Clinton, Gary.
I worked nights in the spar on O’Connell street in the late nineties . I could write a book about it , quite the eye-opener . One night I found a junkie sitting on the floor at the back of the shop who was halfway through eating a pack of firelighters , cardboard and all. Interesting times.
