Part Time Jobs in Ireland for International Students:
Here comes the biggest topic of all times from the blog comments and the of-course the primary reason to why students want to come overseas. Before I go through the post study job scenario, I would first cover the Part Time Jobs in Ireland for Indian and International students topic as that is the most asked question.
DISCLAIMER: This is in context to my personal experience, my close friends and many people who I know well. This may not be a situation for each and everyone but for most of the Indian students. So please do not pass negative comments here or via Facebook messages. I could accept compliments though
Straight and blunt, no beating around the bush, do not come here if you think you can do a part-time job and recover your college fees. Part Time jobs are really hard to get here. I repeat, Part Time jobs are really hard to get here in Ireland for the students. I do not mean to dishearten people, but that is what the truth is. I do not want students come to Ireland with false hopes created by the highly commercial educational consultancies of India. They which have fancy dressed ladies behind the desks who inform students that there are plenty of Part Time jobs in Ireland. Plus, you can earn your living expenses with ease, and in fact can save money and send home to cover up loans. This is not true!
I repeat again, do not come to study in Ireland if you think you can easily get a Part Time job and survive yourself with ease. Part Time Jobs in Ireland Experience Required
Most Part Time jobs here in Dublin, Ireland require at least ONE YEAR of experience, be it either a bar tender or a cleaner or a waiter or whatever it is. You can of course get good jobs if you have recommendations and reference from your friends who have already worked at that specific job or from a person of the same community. Personally, I have a years' experience working with Amazon, yet I could not find a job as the IT companies do not hire students for PT jobs. They have full-time job vacancies though. Frankly you wouldn't earn enough to send back money home. Please understand that Ireland is a small country unlike the US. So, number of Part Time job are very scarce. The minimum wage here is 8.65 per hour and students can work legally up to 20 hours a week and 40 hours a week during vacations (the vacation periods would be mentioned by the respective colleges and universities you are enrolled in).
