Working Abroad Expo

If you are thinking about attending the Working Abroad Expo at the RDS in Dublin today or tomorrow (21 and 22 March) I'd get the skates on. I was there when it opened at 10 this morning and already there were queues of people happily handing over their €10 to get in.

Inside the scene was no different. Within 15 minutes there long queues forming at most stands. What is most striking about the event is the number of young couples talking about emigrating together, not as a result of the failure to get a job in Ireland, but more with a sense of anticipation at the exciting move that lies ahead.

Exhibitors at the event include organizations offering construction jobs, engineering jobs and mining jobs in Canada, specifically Alberta. The two people manning this stand looked like they could do with some help to cope with the throngs looking for work opportunities in Canada. Elsewhere the New Zealand jobs stand was looking for construction project engineers, project managers and construction managers for a major residential development and infrastructure projects and the group tradesrecognition.com was offering assistance to those who may need a liitle help to meet the qualification criteria for construction jobs in Australia.

The UK accounted for 25 per cent of overseas construction job applications, while the region of Australia and New Zealand has 15% of overseas construction job applications.

While applications for construction professional jobs in Ireland totalled 5,207 (48%) in September, the 52 per cent level of activity in the global construction professional recruitment arena means that we have developed with jobseekers and recruiters to meet the changing needs of the global construction professional recruitment market.
