If you have decent English (which seems that you do), it shouldn’t be too much of a problem, of course a lot of it depends on yourself, your own activity, your education and work experience of course.

Also, define “reasonable job” and “fast enough” :) I think theres a lot of jobs on offer still, and the great thing about Ireland is that employers are used to hiring non-Irish people, so hopefully discrimination is not going to be a problem.

If you want to check what’s on offer, have a look at irishjobs.ie or monster.ie, have a look through their ads and even apply some you find the most interesting. If you get lots of replies, that probably means that when you do get over, you are able to find something suitable fairly quickly.

That way you can also get in touch with recruitment agents, who will try and find a job for you. Even if they don’t have any suitable positions for you at the moment, they will contact you when one comes up.

If you’re looking for an office job in Dublin, it’s almost essential to register with a recruitment agent, it just makes things so much easier. They can be a bit pushy with their business sometimes but most of them do their job well and find you a job. I’ve had good experiences with 1800-People and Joslin Rowe.

If course you can also visit big companies’ own recruitment sites, Yahoo and Google are in Dublin anyway and very nice to work for, I hear.

Hope this helps!
