Argos Announce 800 Jobs
Argos will be seeking 800 staff to work in its stores across the country during the Christmas season.
With the unemployment rate currently at 14.3% in Ireland, the announcement is welcome news in a struggling job market.
"Along with flexible working hours, training and competitive pay, new recruits will get an immediate 10% staff discount, helping to ease the pinch on their own shopping costs," said a statement from the retailer.
According to the retailer, 70% of the population live less than 31 minutes from an Argos store, making the new roles highly accessible.
