When it comes to getting a job Irish clearly has power!!
Tá cumhacht agus buntáistí na Gaeilge soiléir le feiceáil @ Callaghan’s Electrical i Leitir Ceanainn! Thosaigh Evan Ó Ceallaigh ag obair sa ghnó cúpla seachtain ó shin. Is scoláire i gColáiste Ailigh é Evan agus dúirt an saoiste Dermot leis go bhfuair sé an post mar gheall ar an Ghaeilge a bheith luaite aige ar a CV. Mheas Dermot gur rud sa bhreis, rud speisialta a bhí ann i gcumas Evan Gaeilge a labhairt agus fáilte a chur roimh chustaiméirí i nGaeilge.
I ndiaidh físeán ar TikTok le hEvan a fheiceáil, bhuail Bairbre, an Comhordaitheoir Pleanála Teanga le Líonra Leitir Ceanainn isteach sa ghnó inniu agus na fráschártaí léi le tabhairt dóibh. Tá Dermot thar a bheith sásta an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn sa ghnó agus mar a dúirt sé, beidh Evan chun Gaeilge a theagasc do na baill fhoirne eile anois! Buail isteach chuig Callaghans. Tá táirgí den scoth acu agus is féidir leat do ghnó a dhéanamh trí Ghaeilge le hEvan!
Agus ná déan dearmad, má tá tú ag cuartú poist agus tá Gaeilge agat bí cinnte é sin a lua ar do CV – is rud sa bhreis, rud speisialta, buntáiste ar leith í an Ghaeilge!
The special power of the Irish language is easily to see in Callaghan’s Electrical in Letterkenny. Evan Kelly started working in the business a couple of weeks ago. Evan is a student in Coláiste Ailigh and the boss, Dermot said to him that it was because he mentioned Irish on his CV that he got the job. Dermot thought that it would bring something extra, something special, to have Evan there able to welcome the customers in Irish.
Having seen a TikTok of Evan today in the shop Bairbre called in to the shop with some of our phrase cards for them. Dermot and Evan are very happy to promote Irish and as Dermot says, Evan will now be teaching the rest of the team Irish! He can use our phrase cards as a starting point! Call in to Callaghans. They have great products for sale and you can even do your business through Irish!
And remember – if you have Irish and if you are looking for a job, put it on your CV that you can speak Irish. It is a real advantage, something more, something special!
Seo daoibh Evan! Here’s Evan!
