The number of technology, science and engineering jobs advertised online increased significantly in the last quarter of 2014, IrishJobs.ie’s latest Jobs Index suggests. Not just that but, according to the index, 50pc of employees feel the jobs market is set to improve, with 70pc planning to ask for a raise. “It is heartening to see optimism returning to the Irish job market,” said Safann MacCarthy, managing director of IrishJobs.ie. “Our jobs index shows an increase in the number of jobs posted online and this increased activity is translating into a renewed sense of vigour for Irish candidates.” Compared with the last survey conducted at the end of March 2014, confidence in the jobs market has increased by 6pc overall. “(The year) 2015 is shaping up to be a great year for Irish companies and a great year for Irish candidates,” added MacCarthy. “The more robust economic environment will tip the balance in their favour and companies will have to work harder at finding, attracting and keeping talent.” It paints a fairly good overall picture of Ireland’s current jobs market, with 2015 set to be a good year.

“As a recent graduate of a Higher Diploma in Science in Computing from Dublin Business School, I would describe the course as intensive, challenging and highly rewarding. The workload and commitment of the Higher Diploma in Science in Computing required a massive amount of dedication, hard-work and adaptability from each student. After its completion I now view choosing it as one of the best decisions I have ever made. Through completing the course I have obtained a position with a well-respected large multinational organisation. Without the course and Dublin Business School’s contacts in the jobs market this would not have been possible. I know I still have a lot to learn to further progress in my new career but Dublin Business School has given me the confidence and foundations, to succeed through life-long learning.”

Keith O’Brien, Higher Diploma in Science in Computing
