The multinationals are here. The door is not obvious.
Dublin holds the European base of a long list of global companies. Getting hired by one still depends on understanding a process nobody explains from the outside. A mentor who has been through it can explain it in half an hour.

The people who arrive stuck.
Graduates targeting multinationals
Competing for the same programmes as candidates from across Europe, with no read on what the interview is testing.
New arrivals to Ireland
Qualified elsewhere and trying to work out how their experience translates to an Irish employer.
People moving out of hospitality and retail
Real skills, wrong CV, and no contact inside the sector they want next.

The things people ask first.
Are mentors familiar with the Irish market?
Some are based here; others work for the same companies elsewhere. We match on the role, not the postcode.
I qualified outside the EU. Can a session help?
Yes. Working out how experience is read by a local employer is one of the most common reasons people book.
What language are sessions in?
English is the working language across the network.
