  • The West is Alive! Check out all Job announcements!

    Hi all,

    There is this expression, Feast or famine, meaning things are really good,  or things are really bad..

    This post is about the Feast part of the expression, as I can hardly keep up with all the job announcements in the last  two weeks!

    Below is just a overview of each announcement at Cisco, SAP, Merit Medical and HP!

    *Oranmore-based technology company Cisco Systems announced
    115 new jobs
    Check out the Cisco System Galway current vacancies here

    *100  jobs were announced at software giant SAP in
    Ballybrit
    Check out the opportunities at SAP Galway here

    *Merit Medical in Parkmore will be
    creating up to 300 new jobs at its new Merit Vision facility here as
    part of a €20m investment. I found this page where you can see all their vacancies worldwide

     *Hewlett Packard (HP)
    will be building a new 90,000 square foot premises in Oranmore, which
    will cater for at least 200 extra staff, while around 100 jobs will be
    created in the construction phase.
    Check out their current vacancies here and select location Ireland, Galway

    So if you are thinking to make your big move to Galway and looking for accommodation, I’d recommend  you check out Daft . There is also a  free local newspaper called The Galway Advertiser, which  comes out on a Thurday . You can view their online classifieds here.

    Please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions you may have about living in Galway!

  • Lot’s of job announcements and a bit of kitesurfing!

    Hello all,

    Just last week there was a spate of job announcements!!

    Mylan  (pharmaceuticals)(both in Dublin and Galway) will be expanding their operations  by 550
    ( 220 of which in Galway) by 2016.

    Apple ( in Cork) plans to construct a three-storey office block next to its existing plant in the city, adding 500 jobs!This will cater for the expansion of its business in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa.Apple has been in Cork for 30 years. It currently employs 2,800 people in the city and its business is booming.

    This means that Apple will have 3,300 employees, which is nearly as much as Intel has in Leixlip!
    As this expansion also involves a new building, it is estimated another 200 construction jobs will be created, which will be a welcome boost for those in the construction business!
    You can check out the current Apple vacancies in Cork here.

    To go to back to the Mylan jobs in Galway, as I live in Galway, I automatically assumed that the Mylan jobs would be in/around Galway City, but it’s only when I researched where they are located in Galway, I realise that those jobs are going to be in Inverin, which is not in the city at all, and is located about 25 minutes outside of the city. Inverin has a very small airport  that has flights to the Aran Islands.

    So that was that on the job front! 

    On a slightly lighter note, I decided to head to the beach on Saturday, as it was sunny( but very windy as you’ll hear in the videos). The beach nearest to us is in Kinvara, and is called Traught Beach.
    To check out the location of all Galway beaches, click here

    There was very few people at the beach, but my boys were all excited as there were these huge kites in the sky! (I thought to myself, where would you get those??)
    But then I realised they weren’t just kites, they were kites used to do kite surfing with!
    I took some footage, you’ll see the first clip is the getting ready , and the the rest is  actual kite surfing in the ocean. Maybe when the kids are a little bit older (I was told at least 10 or probably better 12) they can take classes.. You can check out more information about Kite surfing here.

    Greetings from Galway!

    Hi all,

    I thought I’d mention the new jobs coming on stream at HP in Galway.
    Image representing Hewlett-Packard as depicted...Image via CrunchBase

    I found the below on the website of the Independent :
    US computer giant Hewlett Packard has announced that it is to create 105 new jobs in Co Galway. To check out the current vacancies, click here.

    The highly-skilled positions will be based within the global IT organisation in Ballybrit which supports the company’s enterprise business unit.

    “This is an important part of helping develop HP’s capability in software engineering, and we see it as an important statement of both our capacity to do more and the relevance of the skills that have been developed by the existing team here in Galway,” said Gerry Jacob, vice president within HP’s EB IT organisation.

    Martin Murphy, managing director of HP Ireland said, “we are thrilled to be able to secure these jobs for Ireland as they speak hugely to the esteem in which the Irish skill set and capability is regarded within the HP community.

    Aspect is also recruiting, both directly and indirectly.
    The direct recruitment jobs are ( slightly) hidden, so if you click here, you’ll find them:)

    Happy jobhunting,
    Katleen
