And even then, he'll manage to **** it up spectacularly...

Well you know what they say, give an infinite number of chimpanzees typewriters and sooner or later they will come up with Eirikur's memoirs!

For once in your life you're nearly bang on the mark. I moved over for a permie job then handed in notice after 3 and a half months and stole my employer's client.

Change the keyword search you are using to include "scarecrow", "speed bump", and "crash test dummy" and I am sure the offers will come flooding in.

It worked for OG after all, although he also included "toxic little cloud of moral indignation" and "sociopath" on his CV for personality clarity.

I suspect they found out that you're crap!
what they are doing is thinking outside the box - hoping to find an expat who wants to return to the Emerald Isle.

FTFY.

Tempted to reply as they are illegally discriminating against EU citizen, but also know I will never hear back from them

A relative of mine who has lived in France for many years has come up against this kind of thing several times... "mais vous êtes Anglais! ..." then Gallic head shake of disbelief / astonishment and of course he never hears back about the job.

That's how free movement of labour works, outside the UK

Why advertise on a British job board in the first place

So I sent my cv to an agency for a contract in Dublin. They responded like this:


Sounds crazy.
British citizen keep their right to work in Ireland after Brexit
EU citizen keep their right to work in Ireland after Brexit
So nothing changes

Rights go beyond those of EU citizens.

So I sent my cv to an agency for a contract in Dublin. They responded like this:

Thank you for applying for the above position.

I have reviewed your details, but currently the client is seeking Irish nationals (due to the Brexit situation).
