Living and working in Ireland as a British/Turkish citizen

Post new topic

emuzeg

Hi there,

I've been researching some European countries to live and work in and have whittled the options down to a few, Ireland among them.

My queries are based on the possibility of me and my partner living and working in Ireland.  Firstly, I am English and am 23 and in my last two years of an open university course that I started here in the UK.

My partner however is Turkish and has completed a masters degree in psychology here in the UK. She is a Turkish citizen and here on a student visa. She has expressed interest in looking for work elsewhere in Europe since the UK is not full of opportunities for her. She speaks fluent English and Turkish. My main question is what are the job prospects like for a new psychology masters graduate who is a Turkish citizen in Ireland?

My secondary question is what are the job prospects in Ireland like for me as a (currently) unskilled 23 year old British male? I currently work at M&S, are there opportunities there like that readily available?

Thanks in advance!
