AOL searches for computer graduates - graduate jobs

Computer graduates have been put on red alert by plans to create 50 jobs by internet giant AOL.

AOL Global Operations Ltd revealed that the new software engineering roles will be created at its Dublin Development Centre over the next two years.

The company's recruiters and staff will meet candidates at the epicentre 2010 software conference, which is being held at Trinity College, Dublin.

Aengus McClean, head of AOL Global Operations, described it as an exciting time for the company and its Dublin base.

He said: "Dublin has been central to AOL's success over the years and will be integral to our future development.

"For this new era we will be positioned in the city centre which will give great additional energy to the organisation and we're confident will be a highly attractive place to work for new recruits."

The firm aims to fill more than 20 positions immediately, with the majority for candidates having Java and .Net qualifications along with two to three years' experience in industry.

New recruits will work alongside their global counterparts, have good opportunities for travel and enjoy highly attractive benefits as part of their packages.
