Every little helps
I like the way the accountancy firms now issue big statements announcing 200/300 new jobs for their grad intakes.
No mention of what is happening those at the end of their contracts…
ya what kind of IT jobs are these - hard core techie stuff like programming or what?
yeah they treat them like shit and pay them fuck all - once their qualified they let them go. These ‘new’ jobs I suspect in many cases are jobs that were previously offered a couple of years ago but then they gave the people a couple of grand to postpone for a year or two.
what consulting do ernst and young do does anyone know?

The number of people signing on the dole fell by 12,800 in the month of October, figures released today by the Central Statistics Office show.
In seasonally-adjusted terms the fall is 6,600.
[b]The number of persons on the Live Register now stands at 429,553 with the unemployment rate in October at 13.6%, down from 13.7% in September.
In the Dáil, Taoiseach Brian Cowen said the figures provide evidence that stability is now returning to the jobs market, and the public finances.
“There is evidence that the labour market is stabilising,” Mr Cowen said, adding that Exchequer figures published yesterday and indicating a tax take ahead of expectations “reinforces the key message of a stabilising economy”.[/b]
Meanwhile the number of redundancy claims received by the Department of Social Welfare for October was 3,910 - down 40% on the figure for last October.
Enterprise Minister Batt O’Keefe said this was evidence that the economy was recovering.
“These trends, allied with our strong export performance, healthy foreign direct investment pipeline and declining unemployment figures, are very encouraging signs of economic recovery,” said Minister O’Keeffe, who is on a trade mission to the Middle East this week with 45 Irish firms.
How many people emigrated during the month of October?
384
I heard this as well but have you a link to it Mac? What are they looking for?
Its gas the way Ernst and young “anounced” that they were creating 300 new jobs.
Thinly veiled ‘we got rid of 300/350 qualified accountants and full time staff last April and are replacing them with lower paid slaves instead’.CARB should have that place closed down by now.
You Dunph, they are looking for you.
Thanks for pointing that out :lol:
All i would need to do is point them the way of my betting column with its 88+ points of profit. Of course there is also the danger they will come across posts i have made while perusing the main board…
PM me on it Dunph if you want info.
€6 million profit for nama for the second quarter plus that hundred mill plus they made on one deal. The statue of Lenihan is getting closer by the day.
The bond markets can go screw themselves, this country will be turnning a surplus by the end of the 1st Quarter 2011.
a person straight out of college can do the same work as a qualified accountant - is what I’m getting out of it. dont know why they dont target early school leavers as bean counters to be honest. Ah well surely technology will reduce the need for them altogether soon enough.
They think theres oil off Dalkey, we’re saved!!!
great news people - an irish independent report on ahem providence resource confirms there is oil off west clare

Pity Obama is in power.
The reopening of Brown’s Barn shows there’s a surge in discretionary income out there.
Shell Oil are apparently making £1.6m profit every hour. Great to hear.
