Careers and Jobs

Vodafone Ireland announced last week that it was to cut 10 percent of its workforce. The mobile telecoms operator is looking to cut 150 jobs through redundancy from its 1,500 employees. This company hopes to achieve the redundancy figures through a voluntary redundancy programme. Vodafone are now entering a month long consultation period so there are very few details about which functions will suffer from the redundancies. The mobile company has 2.23 million subscribers to the network in Ireland.

Two positive news stories to tell you about – cherish them as they are few and far between at the minute. It looks like we are spreading the love too as jobs are created both sides of the border.

Complete Telecom announced that it will be growing by 10 staff as part of an ongoing expansion. The jobs will be created at their HQ in Dublin with a few scattered regionally. Most of the roles are in Engineering and Support. Get your CV’s dusted down as recruitment is happening as you read this post. Complete hope to have the new positions filled by September.

Citigroup announce that they will be creating 145 new jobs in Northern Ireland. This is great news and financial services and insurance sectors have been taking a bit of a hammering with the Axa Insurance news and Hibernian news. The Citigroup announcement will bring the number of staff to 850 in the North. Lets hope that this is not a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul and that this move is not part of a strategy to access cheaper costs in the North.

We are a run of good stories now with these last two announcements. Let’s hope it continues. Need help with CV Writing Service or Interview Coaching?
