Hi,
Name is Moss. I'm 21. I'm a Clerical Officer in the Civil Service (In the CSO).. I'm looking for advice there, i just passed my probation period, but i'm torn apart in should i finish college or do i just forget about it and make a career out of it
I was a student in Waterford IT and i studied Criminal Justice Studies. I appiled for the job in 2007 (2 yrs to go in my course) because i'm afraid there (and seems to be right) won't be much jobs around when i finished college.
The lectures told me to go for it as i would be a very young age going into the CS (if i got in) and also they said the expierence i would gain from applying would be good for me when I start My career looking for work (interviewing expierence and all that) and thus i dcided to go for it. I managed to get it to my surprise and i took it.. my dilemma is that i only had 9 months to go in my course and i wonder should i finish it or leave it go because i dont think that the Civil Service give extra wage for a degree...and i think its not really a civil service related type degree
And also i think, my degree won't matter for a career in the CS... i'm wondering what is the procedure now, in regards to making a career out of it? and is a good job for a person my age to take....
So I hope someone will be able to offer some help on the matter, because our career guidance adviser here is'nt great and and im looking for someone who is working in the CS and who knows what they are on about, and publicjobs.ie don't offer that much information..
Cheers,
Moss.
