Job fairy: Is your CV a total nightmare? Then this is for you

Aug 20, 2018

Is your inner monster looking to escape?

Do you think you could be Ireland's most despicable and gruesome characters?

Do you want to earn some dollars by scaring the bejesus of the public?

Then you won't want to miss this recruitment opportunity in the RDS.

The Nightmare Realm is on the hunt for people with a talent for terror, to be part of their live horror experience at The RDS Dublin over the month of October.

No experience is needed for acting roles as full training will be given.

The only criteria for being considered is that you are outgoing, willing to embody the role of your character and instil hysteria on your victims.

Performance spaces include darkness, small spaces, strobe lighting, loud noises and fog effects, so if you are afraid of the dark – give this one a miss.

Calling all incredibly talented MUA and artists, you could join the family.

The Halloween attraction is holding makeup trials for artists wanting to assist The Nightmare Realm’s talented spfx team.

As part of their recruitment process, they are holding a Scare Workshop/Audition at The RDS on September 1 from 12-2 pm.

You could join their monster crew as 50 positions are up for grabs.

Leave behind the boring C.V and blood-stained cover letter; this process is a whole new level of terrifying.

Applicants will take part in a group workshop where they will be shown the fine art of how to be a scare performer.

Those who show the most promise will be welcomed into the Realm’s dysfunctional family.

Let's get into the nitty-gritty: you must be over 16 to try out and be available for the entire month of October.

No make-up or costumes are needed for the workshop, but you should wear comfortable clothing.

Be confident and push your boundaries to unleash the inner beast.

Good luck!

For those who would rather be scared, than do the scaring – tickets go on sale in six days.

Love lip fillers? There’s a new Dublin clinic opening and they’re hiring

Aug 15, 2018

by Staff Writer

Have the credentials to be an aesthetician? Or the skills to manage a busy team?

Thérapie Clinic, are launching a brand new, city centre clinic focused purely on injectable treatments, to meet Ireland's demand for fillers.

The Thérapie Aesthetic Clinic will open on South William Street next month, an area that's quickly gaining a reputation as Dublin's beauty epicentre, with an array of clinics, eyebrow studios and wax nail and lash salons.

A post shared by Thérapie Clinic (@therapieclinic) on Jul 30, 2018 at 12:30am PDT

The clinic will be recruiting 20 new team members for the soon to open facility – so spruce up those C.Vs.

The clinic will only cater to those looking for injectable fillers and treatments, which is no surprise after the huge leap in the popularity of lip fillers.

The trend skyrocketed in early 2015, just after cosmetics queen Kylie Jenner admitted to her penchant for the procedure.

However, the current obsession with lip fillers is not limited to a niche market.

A post shared by Thérapie Clinic (@therapieclinic) on Jul 31, 2018 at 3:34am PDT

Indeed, women from all walks of life, from nurses and models to CEOs and students, are all opting to get in on the trend, but it's particularly widespread among younger Irish women.

'We've had unprecedented growth for Thérapie Clinic this year as we have grown our offering in both the UK and Ireland,' said Thérapie Clinic CEO, Phillip McGlade.

'We are opening the new Thérapie Aesthetic Clinic in a bid to meet rapidly increasing customer demand for Botox and fillers in Ireland.

We have seen this area of our business triple in the past few months, with thousands of new customers coming in over the summer for Botox and filler treatments.'

'To be able to launch an exclusive, facial aesthetics clinic is a great milestone for us and we look forward to working with new recruits and meeting new customers.'

Jul 22, 2018

by Staff Writer

'Chief Flamingo Officer' may sound like a response you would get frona five year old if you asked them what they wanted to be when they grew up – but we s*it you not, it's a legit job title.

At this moment in time, Baha Bar in the Bahamas is looking for someone to fill this exact role.

The million-dollar resort in paradise is searching for someone to work on their flamingo sanctuary, which is an integral part of their resort experience.

As well as working at the Flamingo Mansion, you literally get to live in the Bahamas if you were lucky enough to land this job, so it's already the dream.

'The Chief Flamingo Officer will be responsible for the caretaking of Baha Mar's flock of flamingos, arriving to the resort destination this spring. Baha Mar's resident flamingos will inhabit the Baha Mar Flamingo Mansion, an expansive indoor, outdoor, aquatic and dry habitat designed to house the Bahamian birds,' reads the job description.

'The Chief Flamingo Officer will oversee the Flamingo Mansion, interacting with resort guests and designing interactive programming for Baha Mar's guests.'

The ideal candidate will have a degree in zoology or similar, and will have professional experience working with exotic birds.

They will also be well versed in ecology and studying the environment of these birds to tend to their needs correctly.

Frankly, we can't think of anything better than lying on the beach watching some flamingos do their thang right now.
