German Jobs tactical combat, progression and exploration games

When writing you’re CV, the normal advice from companies is that you should not include online gaming as part of your hobbies.  This can be potentially seen as a negative as companies will think you are going to be playing games or on Facebook all day. We are seeing that now more than ever companies are looking to see this type of hobby on the CV.  Playing online games, allows people to develop and think strategically, grow tactical awareness, learn how to cooperate to achieve and companies can see that somebody has a genuine passion which a lot of employers are looking for.

Gaming is a major employer of highly experienced and talented individuals and this sector will only grow and develop. There are serious opportunities to build a long term career and what we are recommending to candidates is that if you have a passion for games or game playing and would like to build a career in this space, include any and all experience on your CV.

In a changing world like nowadays, which promote competitiveness and job requirements become so stringent, many people begin to think that a work experience abroad can increase their potential and make them grow personally and professionally.

I was one of those people, some time ago…  and my decision was Dublin, why? I will give you some quick reasons: Dublin has more green spaces per square kilometer than any other European capital city, with 97% of city residents living within 300 meters of a park area; in Ireland the tax rates for an individual in 2011 start in 20%; Dublin experiences a maritime climate with a lack of temperature extremes; Dublin has a vibrant nightlife and is reputedly one of Europe’s most youthful cities, Dublin has a world famous literary history, having produced many prominent literary figures; In Dublin, the music is everywhere.

I have to confess that my decision was taken in 5 minutes, when my brother told me that the life in Dublin was not bad; however, now that I live here, I can guarantee he was completely right.

Que viven en Dublín

En el desafiante mundo en el que vivimos actualmente, que promueve la competitividad y los requisitos para conseguir empleo cada vez son más exigentes, mucha gente comienza a pensar que una experiencia profesional en el extranjero puede aumentar su potencial y hacerles crecer personal y profesionalmente.

Yo fui una de esas personas, hace algún tiempo … y mi decisión fue Dublín, ¿por qué? Os daré algunas razones: Dublín cuenta con más espacios verdes por kilómetro cuadrado que cualquier otra capital europea, el 97% de los residentes de la ciudad viven a menos de 300 metros de una zona de parque; en Irlanda, los impuestos para un trabajador en el año 2012 comienza en 20%; Dublín tiene un clima marítimo, sin temperaturas extremas; Dublín tiene una vibrante vida nocturna y es considerada una de las ciudades más jóvenes de Europa; Dublín tiene una gran historia literaria, y  muchas figuras culturales prominentes han nacido aquí; en Dublín, la música está en todas partes.

Tengo que confesar que mi decisión fue tomada en 5 minutos, cuando mi hermano me dijo que en Dublín no se vivía mal, sin embargo, ahora que resido aquí, puedo garantizar que tenía toda la razón.

A question came to mind recently – what sort of companies are attractive for web developers?

In Cpl we deal with many companies, from large multi-nationals to small start ups, and everything in-between. What I’m wondering is if there’s an ideal company for developers, or is it simply a case of ‘each to their own’?

A business has recently approached Cpl about sourcing talent. What’s interesting about them is that they have a global presence and are a widely recognised brand, but are one of the few online companies who don’t have offices in Ireland. This is about to change though and with another .com company choosing to relocate here, I want to know if you would prefer to find a job with a company that is already well established in Ireland or are innovative new start ups more attractive to you?

The company began in the States, and have expanded to both the European and Asian markets. They are online and constantly updating their websites, with up to the minute information and ever changing content. They will be looking for both frontend and backend Java Developers and PHP Developers. On the Java side, they are looking for people with Multi-Threading experience on the backend, and JSP and MVC on the Frontend. The PHP Developers will need PHP5 and MySql on the backend and strong experience working with Javascript and jQuery.

The company of course has high expectations on what talent they hire but again Dublin is seen as a place for top software and web development talent and we are confident that we can find the right people. The question I still have is whether you want to work with the next generation of online businesses or do you consider the more established business operations as a safer option when choosing who to work with?

My name is Sam O’Byrne, and I’m currently managing the recruitment drive for this new project. I’d be delighted to hear your thoughts on this topic or if you’re interested in hearing more information on these roles, I can be contacted on 01-6146063, or sam.obyrne@cpl.ie.
