Prepare English examples relevant to the Irish role

Select advertisements on JobsIreland and identify the abilities the recruiter actually wants to assess. Prepare an achievement, a problem solved and an example of collaboration in English, supported by facts you can explain during an interview. Check the workplace and proposed organisation to distinguish a role performed in Ireland from an advertisement merely published by an international company.

Connect work permission with your arrival arrangements

Consult Irish information on employment permits and incoming foreign workers according to your nationality. Ask the organisation what it expects you to do during the process, then investigate accommodation using the actual work address and available budget. Do not base spending decisions solely on the advertised salary: include setup costs and the interval before the first payment reaches you.
