Dear Students,
This weeks focus is on a number of WEBSITES which will help you seek employment in Europe and further afield in an international environment.
1. www.otheroptions.ie
This is a unique Irish search engine to help Irish graduates find employment overseas. Currently there are around 2000 new jobs listed each day on this search engine. Presently, the site is being updated to enable more organisations abroad to be part of it. This means that Irish graduates will be able to search simultaneously, through thousands of webboards, Recruitment Agencies and organisations internationally who are interested in recruiting Irish graduates and easily locate relevant job vacancies through this new search engine.
During the Month of May this site will be hosting an Online Expo for around 50 International organisations who will be recruiting Irish graduates. The companies and organisations will be interviewing candidates through the website via chatrooms. Other online expos will follow during the following months.
This is an excellent website to put you on track in the race for employment abroad. In addition to the job search facility, the site also hosts a section on starting your own business as well as education and forum to help you ‘network’.
