I was informed by a good friend who works in the Environmental Protection Agency that they are on the lookout for CVs to fill a number of graduate jobs that are on offer currently. A quick search suggests they are amongst the positions listed here (click text search and type in “EPA” – then “Show Vacancies”. EDIT: MUST BE 6 MONTHS UNEMPLOYED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR APPLICATION

Many graduates wouldn’t necessarily look on the FAS site when searching for jobs, so if you have stumbled uponn this then you may have an advantage.

In the same search I noticed another interesting role with IT Tallaght.

Another point of note, there are 4 FAS jobs listed – DO NOT send your CV to all 4. Pick the 1 (or at most, 2) that suit your skills and send your CV in with a strong cover letter. There is nothing worse than getting 4 identical CVs in for different roles, if you are more suited to different roles the HR person in charge will be aware of this. I’ll post more of CV Do’s and Don’ts later in the week….
