Little birdie tells me that HP is to announce lots of new IT jobs in their Galway office. Mostly .net and Java jobs, for their business portals. It will be interesting to see if they will announce their jobs before Christmas, since I know of quite few people that would really welcome some new java jobs in Galway. HP being HP with their benefits package and all will most likely make quite a few both .net developers and Java developers excited. It is not really every day that that many jobs are opened these days. So well done Hewlett Packard!

Good news for HP Jobs in Galway really….
