And some idea of how many CVs people are handing out? Hundreds? Thousands?
It's a strange thing but 5 years ago we couldn't get skilled people in Ireland and we still can't. We get applicants (pay rates are high enough; starting on about €38K plus overtime) but they just can't do the job.
Have degree in mfg but ended up with job back in construction!
Keep looking. Try get part time locally - even a day a week to start at min wage.

And of course, the Govt has ensured that minimum wage jobs are now considered 'work experience', not even worthy of that minimum wage itself;At the moment for every minimum wage job there are 20 to 30 people applying for them. I am talking jobs like shelf stacker's in shops, fast food etc. It is indeed soul destroying.
