Ah ok, sorry yeah I think that's the misunderstanding. I thought alt-ac = non-academic but still connected/related to your subject area. So for history, they're mostly in heritage, education, museums, libraries, tourism etc.

Civil service would be great, too bad I think I need to be an Irish citizen for that. Not sure about other public sector jobs. And yeah I know generally white collar jobs but I wonder if any businesses in particular like to hire PhDs I guess.

@StephenHewer would know better - you have to be a citizen to get in through the big open calls for particular grades on http://publicjobs.ie but not when you're applying directly for a specific job.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
I saw some posts that were IE only and some that were EU only. Those were public jobs. I also saw a secondary teacher post, but it had 'no visas' on it. Maybe you could get the job on a graduate scheme visa (1G) and then get sponsored after you're employed?

I mean that’s the plan, but I wouldn’t want to search forever for a job on the grad scheme work visa only to then have to look for another that would sponsor me. Plus I’m apprehensive about that grad scheme visa, apparently a lot of employers will not hire on it.
