Good Luck!!

I had an interesting conversation with a jobseeker this evening (yes I take work calls on a Saturday). Anyway this person was quite worried about the economy and job security. They said they would love a job with the Council or the Civil Service.

I am sure that many employees in Ireland are having similar thoughts.

There have been many redundancies in Ireland and some sectors are a bit dodgy at the minute. The question remains should you hunt out a safe number or follow a path you will offer fulfillment.

It is different horses for different courses. Personally those environments would not suit me but they will suit others.

I told this caller where to find other possiilites in the public setor and related so I guess I will post the list just in case anyone else is interested.

If you have any views on the above dilemma please post.

p.s – there are educational institutions on the list – not too sure if the would be classed public sector but they would be related.
