Career Direction Coaching in Ireland – Irish Career Coach

Career Direction – Is it ever a good time?

Many jobseekers are miserable in their jobs but most of these will create excuses to stay put and never try to find career happiness.

Some would argue that jobseekers have an legitimate reason not to follow career dreams at this present time. What is that excuse? The big “R” word- recession. It is understandable that many jobseekers park dreams of a career change during difficult economic conditions – bills, mortgage and family considerations dictate decisions. Is this just another excuse? For most yes!! When things pick up again it will be something else.

So what stops jobseekers following their dreams? From experience it can be a wide range of factors but certainly fear plays a big factor. Fear of failure, fear of success and fear of the unknown. It is a scary experience no doubt and often our dreams seem to distant or big to achieve. The best advice I ever got was “lean into it”. Start small researching, asking question, talking to experts and see what materialises. You may be surprised.

Commuters forgo salary to work near home.

Is this a change of Business in Ireland as we know it.

I could never see the attraction of firms locating in central Dublin. High costs, congestion, expensive sarnies and coffee. Do they pay for expensive offices in city center Dublin to get the staff??

Hmmmmmmm

I though most employees were living in Navan, Cavan, Kinnegad, Drogheda, Dundalk, Naas, Newbridge, Wicklow, Gorey, Bray ….. basically everywhere except Dublin.

Looks like there is even more incentive for firms to locate outside the capital as survey today announced that most commuters from Wicklow would be willing to take a paycut to work closer to home. This means that all commuters would be willing to do so.

Commuters spend on average 2hrs per day on trains planes and automobiles. I guess the penny has actually dropped that the extra 10k for working in Dublin is not worth 10-15 hours a week.

I am going to start a bring the jobs to the people campaign encouraging employers to relocated to the leafy suburbs cutting stress, traffic congestion, costs and improving life for us all.

Unum Jobs in Carlow – Now recruiting.

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

I posted previously about the Jobs News in Carlow with Unum announcing 200 new jobs in the town. Well if you have not heard they are officially recruiting. They have radio adverts on Today FM. Anyway for those of you who have not heard the advert check out the Unum website. Happy job hunting.

Jobs created in Carlow with Unum announcement

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Great news for Carlow with the announcement that Unum will create 200 jobs in the town. They are high end jobs too with 100 software developers and graduates to be recruited by the end of the year. This announcement has bucked the trend in Carlow as two of the towns biggest employers have shut down operations in the last number of years – Greencore Sugar and Lapple.

This article made front page of the Irish Times Business supplement yesterday. The poor journalist had to write a positive story. You must admit that we have been bombarded by poor economy, property crash, jobs lost and unemployment for the last year.

Not only is it great news for the local economy it will remove the daily commute to Dublin by some lucky locals. Carlow has a large number of its workers who make the daily trip BUT it is also a problem across the country.

On a related topic in Carlow – can anyone tell me if the Carlow bypass is complete? I had a few horror days there last year. If not perhaps getting the train from Carlow to Dublin work is not a bad option.
