Answer 1

Check the web and organise a job before you come over. If you are highly qualified you may stand a chance of getting a job otherwise it could be a problem,The unemployment rate in Ireland is rising by the day according to the Dept of Social Welfare who pay out unemployment benefit to qualified Irish unemployed. You would not qualify for any payment if you are not resident  and working here for 2 years.

Answer 7

The Celtic Tiger is starting to catch a cold, but there is still plenty of work about. Don't leave it too long though.

        From the US you will need a work permit unless you have Irish parents or Grandparents. Your future employer will arrange that if they are happy to make a case for employing you. First up though you will have to find an employer and make your case to them.

Good Luck, I came to Ireland from England and am happy here.

Start contacting zoos, veterinary clinics, etc. You could use the telephone directory to get phone numbers (www.goldenpages.ie) or just google these and see what you come up with. You could also try with specific job agencies, your best bet is to actually e-mail them (no problem getting the websites through google either) and send them your details.

But you should be aware that, unless you have very specific and unusual skills and training, your chances of getting work in Ireland are slim. Here's how it works: potential employers look for workers who are Irish; if they do not find what they are looking for among the pool of Irish nationals, they look to EU nationals who are already in Ireland or who can move here quickly; only if they cannot satisfy the job critera from this labour pool will they start looking outside of the EU. The way it is now, the paperwork involved in employing someone from the EU (if they can't get an Irish national) is considerably less than getting someone in from out side of the EU, because then you're talking about visas and work permits. EU nationals, once they have their residency permits for working in the country of residence sorted, are automatically permitted to work in other EU countries.

And if you decide to apply for a European nationality, make sure the country to which you apply is a member of the EU. Not all European countries are.

LOOK ON THE WEB

Answer 11

if your parents are from ireland you can apply for a EU passport making it easier to get a job.

Answer 12

Easily.  I'm from Canada, and I hear that the economy in Ireland is honking so fast that people from Newfoundland are going over to work in Macdonalds.  They can't get local people to work for the money.  If you have skills that are in demand, I shouldn't think you would have any problem at all.  I don't know what you mean by animal caretaker.  Are you a schoolteacher? (I am, and that's what I feel like sometimes).
