Banking & Financial Services Jobs - Market Overview 2019

Thoughts on the Market The Irish Financial Services sector consists of more than 250 of the world’s leading financial services companies and employs over 40,000 people. It is an industry that was front and centre of media commentary throughout 2018 as a direct result of its appeal as a post-Brexit base for global financial organisations. Last year saw up to a 15% increase in live job vacancy numbers for this sector at different stages throughout the year. This led to rising demands for certain skillsets and upward pressure on salaries. As this sector has attracted 25% of all Brexit related company moves to date there is cautious optimism that this year will see partial implementation of those plans and we will see further increases in job vacancies for the sector. Meeting the projected demand for talent within Ireland’s Financial Services Sector will be one of the biggest issues for recruiters this year. The Financial Services Sector in Ireland has a good track record at attracting overseas talent with almost one fifth of all vacancies in the sector having been filled from abroad ilast year but lack of housing and increasing rental prices are becoming a growing concern for international talent looking to move to Ireland. Salaries To attract and retain talent, we have seen organisations increase their salaries throughout 2018, particularly in highly skilled areas. We expect this trend to continue into 2019 as salary increases ranging from 10% to 25% for highly skilled jobs have quickly become the norm as companies struggle to source talent. Furthermore, improved benefit packages coupled with higher salaries have become more of a selling point than career progression for candidates. Top Tip for 2019 Gain professional qualifications for the career you are interested in and always tailor your CV for the job you are applying for. Looking for a banking and finance job?

10 Ways To Reduce Workplace Stress

We’ve all got responsibilities such as working and building a career, running a household and/or raising children which can all be very overwhelming and lead to lots of stress. Here are 10 things you can do to start feeling better and minimising stress: 1. Identify causes of stress What triggers your stressful feelings? Are they related to your workplace, children and family, friendships, finances or something else? Once you’ve identified the trigger, you can get down to the root of your stress and find the best ways to handle it. 2. Recognize how you deal with stress Are you using unhealthy behaviours to cope with work or life stress? For example are you using sleep deprivation, smoking, consumption of alcohol or junk food as a means of coping? 3. Get a good night’s sleep A lack of sleep can result in an increase in stress as a person will not be able to stay focused at work. Sleep deprivation also impairs our decision making ability as we are unable to think clearly. Getting 8 hours sleep a night will help improve a person’s health as you will be able to stay alert throughout the day. 4. Eat a balanced diet Hectic work schedules leave us short on time to prepare healthy meals for ourselves and people then have a tendency to grab fast foods. However eating a balanced nutritional diet will help you stay healthy and keep your brain alert. Deficiency in food nutrients such as lack of vitamin B in the body can result in depression and irritability. Also when a person is under stress, vitamins C and E may be lost. 5. Exercise When you exercise, your brain produces “feel good” transmitters called endorphins. Producing these endorphins will help you deal with stress healthily as people who exercise regularly have more energy. 6. Stay organized It is an overwhelming feeling to think that there are not enough hours in the day. Therefore it is imperative that you manage your time. Come up with a daily plan and keep a diary to keep yourself on track. 7. Do not procrastinate Work piles up when you keep on delaying tasks. There is no use putting off for tomorrow what can be done today. 8. Don’t take on more than you can handle at work Avoid creating your own stress by over-scheduling and failing to say no when too much is asked. Don’t overpromise, and give yourself time to finish the things you do agree to tackle. Don’t be afraid to ask for help/delegate if you can’t meet all the demands placed on you. 9. Ask for support Accepting a hand from supportive friends and family can help you persevere during stressful times. If you continue to feel overwhelmed by stress, you may want to talk to a psychologist who can help you manage stress. 10. Finally, treat yourself When you accomplish a personal goal or finish a project, do something nice for yourself. Go out for a round of golf with friends or take a weekend break with your family. Treating yourself between tasks can help take the edge off and prepare you for the next challenge.
