A person is required urgently to supervise Leaving Cert exams in a St Olivers School in Drogheda . No previous experience required.
The previous post holder has had to be let go sacked because of a small error. You may have seen it in the papers?

The post requires very little skills – just the ability to read , tell the difference between various colours and numbers. You must especially be able to tell the difference between the number 1 and the number 2.  A child could do the job really.
Liking Tea and biscuits is an advantage .
Job is wekdays only – unless there are problems – then the odd Saturday session mey be needed too.
Of course -  applicants will normally  expected to be teachers (or ex teachers) who can use this handy job to supplement their salary with an extra €120 a day . It doesn’t matter that you are already  getting paid an annual salary  by the Education Dept. for a job where the work ends in May.
It doesn’t matter if you are not local – we will pay all travel and accommodation expenses . Money no problem . (Recession – what recession?)
We charge the children to do the exams (clever isn’t it?) – even though education is supposed to be free in Ireland .
Retired teachers are more than welcome – age is not a problem for us . You may not be fit to do a job but we will let you do this one. We will even consider teachers not working on disability pension – we are good like that.

If you do make a mistake and give out the wrong paper – don’t worry we have spares on stand by.   If you keep quiet about it – we might never find out anyway (unless the students spread the word !)  .
This job is temporary – for 2 to 3 weeks. Bring reading material to keep you occupied because most of the time you will be doing nothing at all.

No one will know if you did a bad job – because we won’t tell anyone who you are  if you are useless (same as teaching really).

Both workers and unemployed have been affected by the latest Budget changes. The main losers will be workers – due to increased levies.
New under 20 Jobseekers allowance claimants will see benefit rates halved – but all others remain untouched.
Workers will get a drop in income – yet most unemployed people will see income remaining the same. The Christmas bonus of 1 extra week’s welfare benefit has been scrapped though.
