A true sign of the times…

Posted on by

This is the queue last week on Stephens Green when the convenience store Londis advertised some jobs for some new stores opening this year, and had an open interview day. Applicants were forces to queue on the street outside which snaked all the way around to Grafton Street. It really is a throwback to the 1980′s – just check out the video below!

There were 100 jobs advertised but they had over 100 applicants. People from all walks of life – much like when a few months ago, McDonald’s advertised a new store opening in Ennis and got 500 CV’s – many from Bankers and Accountants!

Have a look at this video to see exactly how big this queue really is…

    Well if the mewly released unemployment figures for ireland continue to increase at the rate that they have been I think that this is not only a sign of the current times but also a sign of the future times.

    Next year could possibly be one of the worst ever in Ireland.

    This queue is the result of 100 Jobs in Dublin being advertised, multiple this by around every city around Ireland. This is the result of Greed that started in Galway tents at Fianna Fail crony back slapping.
