Question Any Places Looking for Work?
Hi everyone, I'm back with the same question again, especially since it's now summertime!
I had high hopes on 2 places where I got to work my first day here in Wexford town, but I've just gotten a message from the lady I was working with that they found 'a better fit'.
I've searched far and wide on Indeed, Jobs.ie, and have asked around plenty of times. My family can't seem to help me much either, my mothers boyfriend insisting that I need to ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, handing in my CV until they can't ignore me, as if everywhere still runs on the same system it did 30 years ago.
I've got experience in restaurants and cafés and am looking ANYTHING, as long as it's not child care.
At the age of 19, with some experience and persistent looking, you'd assume I'd find something eventually, but I'm still in the same place I started.
I'm at the threat of becoming homeless, and it's been absolutely taking a toll on me.
Does anyone know any pubs, restaurants, cafés I could possibly apply in? I don't have a car, but I'm well able to get the bus up if needed. I'm available for full-time, part-time, all of it, as long as I can get some change in my pocket.
I'll keep looking, but the fact that so many of my peers are applying for the same things I am doesn't make me very hopeful.
Being a young person looking for work these days is tough, especially if you're as unlucky as I am.
Any help would be amazing, and I am so grateful for all of the people who responded last time.
If you know anyone personally who's looking for staff, let me know. I do what I'm told to do, no bothers.
Let's hope the summer brings me more opportunities! Thanks everyone 💕
