Re: STILL trying to get work...

Hi There,

Skilled people are being snapped up left, right and centre. Its maybe
possible that your CV doesn't reflect your experience. I'd be hapy to
review it for you if you want.

I assume you are in Dublin, which is home to hundreds if not thousands of
companies and with your skills and interest in a Sys Admin or Junior Sys
Admin role, I wouldn't necessarily be focussing on technology companies.
Many if not most companies over a cetain size have their own dedicated IT
Staff. My girlfriend is a Sys Admin in an Insurance provider, for example.

Best of luck with it!

Regards
Andrew
