I think I've seen postings for social workers on the Health Board websites as well.

: Scott,
:
: Thanks a million for the advice. We are
: planning a vacation. Anything worth having
: is worth working for! I also found a little
: hope...I am a former social worker here in
: Texas and noticed that profession to be on
: the list of needed; however, I did not
: notice it to be on the agents list. Any
: pointers on where to seek out an employer
: for this possibility for when I come? Here
: in the U.S., it is a State job depending on
: which state you live in (ie Texas, Oklahoma,
: etc.). Thanks again for the advice!!!!

: Your daughter will enter high school in
: Ireland at the very demanding senior leaving
: certificate level. She'll be working hard
: for two years to prepare for taking the
: national leaving certificate exam. She won't
: have to take Irish, but the pressure will be
: on.
:
: The key still is to get the work permit. In
: the current economic climate, this will be
: very, very difficult. Your chances are
: almost impossible if you're not in Ireland.
: What you might try doing is planning a
: vacation to Ireland and contact some
: recruiters before hand to let them know
: you're coming. Buy a mobile phone as soon as
: you arrive, visit the recruiters in person
: and then be available for job interviews -
: in between sight seeing.
:
: Applying from abroad, particularly now, is
: almost guaranteed to get your application
: tossed in the can. Recruiters get thousands
: of lookie-loos from abroad and they don't
: invest any time in them. If you're not
: serious enough to be present, then they
: ignore them.
:
: Even if you do come, just remember how the
: economic outlook is looking. Come for a
: vacation. If you find work, marvelous. If
: not - well, you and your daughter will have
: had a great time.
:
: There's my two cents.

: I am hoping to figure this all out and move
: myself and my 15 year old daughter to
: Ireland. I have a bachelor's degree but not
: in any of the high demand categories; it's
: in criminal justice/sociology. My daughter
: is very excited about the idea of moving and
: starting over. Any advice?? Is it too much
: to move a teenager and is it the wrong time.
: I have submitted many CV's to
: recruiters...Hays being one of them. Thanks
: for any input.
