A female Ireland age 36-40, anonymous writes:

hi i am a first year student, 21 years old and I am now off Uni for the Summer and looking for PART-TIME work

i cant seem to find a job in my town. I have applied everywhere but they say although Im well educated I dont have retail experience (just 3 months work placement experience in an eldery home and hospital) but not an actual job. .. Im worried that when I do get my degree I wont get a job anywhere without experience? what can I do? I feel like im stuck in a rut and the people they employ here are not smarter than me, they simply have retail experience.

do you think that working in a office say voluntary would look good on my c.v and would help me get a part time job next year? any advice would be great lol

Starlights agony auntyes voluntary work does look good on the CV.

and remember becoz of the current climate jobs are hard to come by so u have to put more effort into getting that job.

once u gain a decent degree u will find a job on par with that.

but til then try and get some work experience onto your CV then apply online for p/t jobs.

good luck

eyeswideopen agony auntYep any work experience, paid or unpaid helps. Sometimes permanent jobs come from volunteer work. Anyway it beats sitting around doing nothing. Good luck.
