So it looks like you're looking for work in Galway - often called an overgrown village. Galway definitely does have a software development industry but it is not exactly a hackers Mecca. Just be aware that you are not in a big market. In Ireland Dublin is by far the best place to be getting work. As others have said; get your CV to within 2 pages. Other local knowledge: - The objective section of the CV is pretty common in Ireland as an alternative to a cover page. - Recruitment agencies dominate the market. If you are avoiding them this will seriously hurt your prospects. - I'd strike out the Austria address if you still have it in there, as an island anything hinting that you are not based in the country will put people off. Also you should get an Irish mobile number, the +43 says "I'm not based here" to me. - Work histroy is generally the top section (after an objective/about section if you have one). Make sure work history highlights competency for the roles you are going for. - Don't include a photo, it is the done thing in a lot of europe but is not done in Ireland.
