Second Life on PublicJobs.ie
Now and then I imagine myself in a second life, not working as an IT Consultant or Entrepreneur, but rather counting the years towards my (Defined Benefits) Public Service Pension.
To indulge this fantasy , I’ve signed up to email job alerts from publicjobs.ie . It’s a fairly well designed site, does what it says on the tin and sure enough the emails come in (about 5 a week in the technical category).
You might already have spotted the problem. That’s technical category. There’s no specific IT roles listed. So I find myself wondering if I should apply for this job.
Update: Now that that the Pope’s children has finished on RTE , I’m wondering if David McWilliams is interested in this one. Quite why Economists are in the same category as IT people is beyond me (ok, apart from both being more than a bit nerdy)



You have a degree in Horticulture Paul? :-0
It’s a decent site alright but where’s the RSS? Sure, with no IT roles in the menu it might be that their audience has a low percentage of RSS users but still…..
“it might be that their audience has a low percentage of RSS users”
That’s correct. Email’s been the primary medium of interest.
