1,000 PayPal jobs to benefit graduates with second language

Graduates with a second language look set to benefit most from the announcement that PayPal is creating 1,000 jobs over the next four years in Co Louth.

The staff at the new European operations centre in Dundalk will have to deal with customers using 14 languages. The company has confirmed at least half of the recruits will need to have a second language.

“I haven’t decided whether there will be 10 or a thousand graduates,” said Pay Pal vice president of global operations Louise Phelan. “I’m looking for people with relevant experience to carry out the roles we need to fill.”
