Put your recent and relevant experience first and use short bullet points rather than long paragraphs.<\/p>\n<h2>Make your availability obvious<\/h2>\n<p>If you are applying for shift-based work, employers need to know when you can work. Your class timetable should be reflected accurately.<\/p>\n<h2>Adapt the CV to the role<\/h2>\n<p>A hospitality role, office role and care role do not need exactly the same emphasis. Highlight the experience and skills that matter most for the position.<\/p>\n<h2>Explain overseas experience clearly<\/h2>\n<p>An Irish employer may not recognise every company or qualification from your home country. Give enough context to show what you actually did and what responsibility you had.<\/p>\n<h2>Prepare a short introduction<\/h2>\n<p>Practise explaining who you are, what you have done before and what type of work you are looking for in 30\u201360 seconds.<\/p>\n<h2>Prepare examples<\/h2>\n<p>Interview questions often become easier when you have concrete examples of teamwork, customer service, problem solving, responsibility or handling a difficult situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Research the employer<\/h2>\n<p>Know what the business does and what the role involves before the interview. A few minutes of preparation can make your answers much more specific.<\/p>\n<h2>Do not apologise constantly for your English<\/h2>\n<p>Focus on communicating clearly. Employers hiring international staff understand that English levels vary. Confidence, attitude and reliability also matter.<\/p>\n<h2>Use the Jobs Club<\/h2>\n<p>ISI\u2019s Jobs Club can help you review your CV and practise interview communication before you apply more widely.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/zh\/jobs-club\/\">\u5de5\u4f5c\u4ff1\u4e50\u90e8<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/zh\/networking-in-dublin\/\">Networking in Dublin<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CV &amp; Interview Tips for Jobs in Dublin A good student job application makes your experience, English, availability and reliability easy for an employer to understand.
