GUEST COMMENT: Seven tips to get your CV in shape for a role in the funds industry
There’s no shortage of generic advice on how to structure your CV, but while these provide some good tips formatting and structure, there’s lack of real information on how to sell your skills for particular sectors.

Ireland is positioning itself as a global hub for games development, to the point where – according to a recent government report – it’s expected to employ 4,500 people by 2014 and grow to $82.4bn over the next five years. Central to this, rather obviously, is the technical expertise available locally. However, should developers in [...]
HedgeServ is creating 300 new jobs in Dublin (and other reasons for optimism about job prospects in Ireland’s funds industry)

Some new hope for unemployed asset managers in Ireland
It’s not been a great couple of months for the 30 employees of the LBBW Asset Management (Ireland).

Are Citi and JP Morgan really particularly safe places to be in Ireland?
If you’ve been following announcements of swathing redundancies within international investment banks over the last month, you’ll have seen two notable absentees from the carnage – JP Morgan and Citi.

How the AIFM Directive is creating jobs in Ireland’s funds industry

CAREER DILEMMAS: Hedge fund admin is so boring I’ve resigned in order to get a job in technology. Was this a bad idea?
By Monday 22nd August, I will officially be unemployed. Unlike the many people facing redundancy within the banking sector, my new-found status will be entirely self-inflicted. For four years, I’ve been working as a senior trade administrator in Dublin, but as I’m based in Bettystown, this has involved spending half my life commuting on a [...]
QIFs back in fashion among Ireland’s fund administrators
Launching a Newcits fund is so 2010. If Ireland’s fund administration professionals want to locate themselves near a real growth area, they should look towards the increasing predilection for qualified investment funds (QIFs). QIFs have, of course, been in Ireland for some time – since 2002, to be exact – but it’s only recently that [...]

Pay slides at Goldman Sachs’ Irish subsidiary…to just €140k
Everyone it Ireland, it seems, is feeling the pinch currently even those working for the traditionally well-paying Goldman Sachs.
