#Post grad jobs for business majors series

My dreams, my hopes, everything I had planned, was taken away with one call. I would have been graduating in a few months and starting my career. The deadlines for all the companies had been up ages back and I had to wait another year to apply for a similar graduate role (Graduate program is a role wherein the company hires only freshly graduated people, and the best part, no experience is required). I wrote a couple of emails to all the people involved in the company about my situation and not one person bothered to reply. They told me, вЂњ I am sorry we canвЂ™t offer you a job, we are not turning down the offer due to your qualification, but purely due to an unavoidable circumstance, we wish you success.вЂќ Meanwhile, I attended two different interviews who had solid offers which I turned down as they did not cater to my field of career and interest.ДЄnd I was pretty sure I was getting this job (who wouldnвЂ™t?).ДЇinally, I got a call at 10 pm, about 3 months later, that something had happened to the manager (made up a random reason). I went back home sent a вЂњthank youвЂќ email.ДЄnother month passed and no response from the company or any person. This was my first ever application and interview, I came so far and I was sure I was getting the job. The other manager was not available and told me he would send me the contract details in a day or two. In short, he did everything, except confirmed my offer. How good it felt! I arrived at the plant and the gentleman showed me around, told me how things work, advised me on how I should find an accommodation near-by, and even told me the department I would work in, people I would work with, and bought me lunch. Imagine my happiness! They sponsored my UK visa, covered the flight charges, and sent a shiny Audi with a man waiting at the airport with my name board.

That went great for me, and they called me for a final round (again two months later, June) which was at their plant in the UK. I did well and they called me to the second round, two months later (April), at a star hotel which included a group discussion, followed by a panel of three interviewers. Two months later (February), I got a call for the first HR interview that was held on-campus. I submitted my application form (took me two days to complete) in December. Just like the above process, I applied to a very big and successful company (whose name I do not wish to disclose) when I arrived in Dublin last year (September 2013) while attending a career fair at my university.

So be prepared to spend hours on a single application and tailor your resume/cover letter for each company and job position.

You will then be asked to attend a series of interviews before you finally get a job offer. In short, most companies start the hiring process about one year before the job actually begins, so by the time you graduate, you immediately have a job to join.ДЄ normal job application process begins with sending either a Resume or submitting an online application followed by a series of (absolutely ridiculous) online assessments. Jobs in Ireland for International StudentsД«efore I actually start discussing the job scenario, IвЂ™d like to emphasize on how the job scenario works in IrelandВ for graduates (graduates meaning people who are freshly out of school).ДЇor example, if you are on a one year course in Ireland and your course starts in the Fall of 2015 ( September or October), the deadlines for most companies would be Oct-Dec of 2015 for a job that starts the following year (Sept 2016).

Why Study in Ireland (not USA or UK or Australia)?.

Please do not make out-of-the-box conclusions at the end of reading this blog post about job scenarioВ in Ireland for international students after they complete higher education. Now that I have had these experiences, I will be discussing the post education job marketВ in Ireland, the blog you all have been waiting for.ДISCLAIMER: Everything I am discussing on here about current jobs in Ireland is purely based off my personal experience and may not be the same case for everyone. The reason it has taken me so long to write this blog is that I wanted to personally know and experience the scenario you are put in once you have graduated. My life has been pretty miserable in the last few months and I couldnвЂ™t get back to you guys for all the questions you have asked me about job market in Ireland via blog comments or Facebook messages.
