The best place to find a job is on the net through sites like monster.ie, jobs.ie employmentireland.com recuirireland.com

For an American To find work you need one of the following:

A work visa, can only be obtained for the following professions:
Architect
Medical profession
IT professional

A legal citizenship status, by marriage or by default from your parents or grandparnet having been born there.

Student visa, you apply for this ahead of time and must be in school 20-30 hrs / week then you will be granted a student/work visa.

A work permit,
You can only get a work permit if an employer hires you and applies for one for you, that employer must show reason on that application to the govt why you, an american... are more qualified for the position than an Irish citizen or someone who is part of the EU.
Or for Jobs with an annual salary of â‚¬30,000 or more.

I'm sorry to say that it's not that straight forward to move from America to work here without an appropriate education.
To get work on the black market (for example cash in hand of pub work) will be next to impossible for an American teenager because employers are not willing to take the risk and even if they do you will not get the minimum wage.
On such a wage you will certainly not pay enough for food rent (shared or otherwise) and bills etc in most places in Ireland.

Again I'm not saying this to put you off coming here but just highlighting how difficult it would be for you to come over here at 18 with no relevant experience or education.
Please take a look at the link below. In the unlikely case were you get a work permit this is what you will pay for the privilege:
Duration of work permit Amount

Up to 6 months â‚¬500
6 months to 2 years â‚¬1,000
2 years to 3 years â‚¬1,500
Unlimited (after 5 years) No fee

The cheapest, quickest and most hassle free way for you to come to Ireland is on a Student visa every other avenue, at that age is practically impossible.

For properties the best place is DAFT online. In Dublin property prices are very high. Highest in the country i think. Find a roomate if you can to help pay rent. As for a job it depends on your qualifications. If you have none why don't you go for working in a nearby restaurant or something.

Get a job in the dundrum town centre - there are 100's of shops there and they are always looking for new staff - esp around september when everyone goes back to school and college! On your first few days in dublin print off literally 50 CVs and just hand them into every shop, making sure you ask for the manager every time. There is easy access to the city centre from Dundrum.

As for accomodation, Check out Gumtree.ie. Its less formal than other property sites, and your best bet is to share a flat.

There are reasonable properties to let in areas like ranelagh, rathmines and south circular road. Very handy, 10 mins from town and all buses travel through these areas.

Hi, I lived in Ireland for a year and I just came back in March. The best website to search for an apartment/roommates is www.daft.ie

I just want to advise you that the North part of the city is not exactly the nicest or safest place. It's not BAD, but there are just lots of other better places for peace of mind.
****The Dublin 3, Dublin 5, Dublin 6W, Dublin 7, and Dublin 9 zones should be avoided.****
Try to find something South of the City Centre, in the Dublin 2, Dublin 4, Dublin 6, Dublin 8 zones. They are trendy and safer.

Any other zone with a higher number (like Dublin 14, for example) is going to be really far from the City Centre and will require a huge bus/train ride.

Roommates are good because you will have someone to talk to/hang out with, but there are a LOT of visitors/tourists in Dublin and you may very well get roommies who can barely speak english.

Ireland is really good for jobs, and depending what career path you want to follow, you can do just about anything. If you are interested in retail, then I suggest you print off a bunch of CV's and walk around the shopping districts: Grafton St and O'Connell St. Drop one off in whatever store seems to catch your interest.

Two good job search websites are: www.jobsearch.ie & www.jobs.ie
