THINGS TO REMEMBER IN ADVANCE OF YOUR ARRIVAL

• Update your CV to include an email address and contact details that will be valid when you are travelling and first arrive in Ireland

• Ensure the recruiters you have partnered with know your exact arrival date as well as your availability
• Hunt out qualification certificates in case you need these during the interview process
• Inform your referees of your plans so that they are prepared and you have their most recent contact details. Written references are the norm here, so ensure your referees are aware of this
• If your contents are moving over separately, ensure that you have suitable attire on hand for interviews when you arrive in Ireland
• Keep a list of where your CV has been sent and what companies or recruitment consultancies you are talking to so that any double up can be easily avoided

• To prepare yourself for the move, keep up to date with the market in Ireland

ARRIVING IN IRELAND

Getting to Ireland from most countries is relatively easy as it’s served by most of the world’s major airlines. Ireland has five international airports (Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Knock and Belfast), which provide services to all major domestic and international destinations.

Robert Walters office is based in Dublin, home to 40% of the national population and the capital city of Ireland. Dublin is based right on the east coast and offers a comprehensive public transport system including suburban trains, trams, buses and taxis. Commuting to work can be expensive due to parking costs and less efficient than public transport due to traffic congestion.
