Are you considering a career and location move? If so, it's worth meeting the Government of the Isle of Man at Jobs Expo Dublin on Saturday April 28th . They will be exhibiting and showcasing jobs and opportunities on the island.
A few interesting facts about the Isle of Man to take into account.
Firstly, re-locating to the Isle of Man means saving a bundle on tax. Nobody pays no capital gains tax, wealth tax, stamp duty, or inheritance tax. This is because the Isle of Man is a low-tax economy. Additionally, the top rate of income tax of 20%. The corporate tax rate is 0% except for banking profits and rental income, which is set at 10%.
Key sectors of the economy include offshore banking, manufacturing, and tourism. The island is also a popular film location. Perhaps more surprisingly, the Isle of Man is a centre for private space travel companies.
Isle of Man has both Celtic and Norse cultural origins. However, because the island is so close to the UK, British influence has been dominant since the mid-18th century. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the Manx language, history and musical traditions. Manx music has Celtic, Norse and other influences, including British and Irish influences. Rock, blues, jazz and pop are also popular on the island.
As it is an island, seafood has traditionally been a large part of the Manx diet. Popular fish include Manx kippers and the Queen scallop, which is renowned for its sweet, light flavour.
There is cattle, sheep, pig and poultry farming too. Manx lamb is highly regarded, and the Loaghtan, an indigenous breed of Manx sheep, has a rich, dark meat.
You will find a variety of Manx cheese in many UK supermarkets. There is also Manx beer! Established in 1850, Okells is the island’s largest brewer.
The International Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) Race is a motorcycle event that takes place every year in May or June. This is one of the star attractions for tourists. The race has run since 1907. The TT takes place over two weeks and visitors from around the world head to the island for what is regarded as one of the “greatest motorcycle sporting events of the world.”
A vast range of jobs within different sectors are available. Jobs on offer cover a number of industries. These include:
In addition, the Isle of Man has a very active e-Business sector. This accounts for around 30% of the economy.

Heading to Jobs Expo Dublin? Don’t miss your chance to meet BCS Sales Recruitment at the event. Jobs Expo Dublin takes place om Saturday 28th April 2018 in the Hogan Suite at Croke Park..
BCS Sales Recruitment provides human resources services to a variety of industries. They are experts in the selection of staff across all levels of an organisation, from trainee to management and director level. BCS also runs a sales school offering upskilling to sales professionals.
BCS are the sponsors and organisers of the Jobs Expo. Since 2012, they have run highly successful careers events in Cork, Dublin, and Galway twice a year. They are also the team behind Virtual Expos Ireland. BCS are returning to Dublin for April and Jobs Expo Cork for May 2018.
“One of the major benefits of Jobs Expo is that it allows employees and employers to meet and discuss career opportunities in a relatively informal setting,” says Bronagh Cotter of BCS. “Attendees can meet a variety of employers, and employers can conduct several initial interviews with potential employees. Furthermore, for recruitment firms like BCS, Jobs Expo is a chance to connect with candidates and companies.”
On the day, BCS Sales Recruitment team can offer guidance to jobseekers on a variety of topics such as interview techniques and professional growth. Their jobseeker services are there to avail of for anybody on the lookout for employment.
“Many jobseekers are unsure how to sell themselves to employers. Even if they have all the necessary skills and experience, they can have trouble communicating that. Some candidates underestimate the importance of soft skills, and fail to highlight these,” she contends.
Successful recruitment should create a mutually beneficial relationship between candidates and companies, says Bronagh.
“We aim to find the best fit for both employees and employers. Companies want more than just an employee with skills and experience. They want staff who fit into their company’s culture. It is much the same for jobseekers, particularly if they have in-demand skills. Of course, salary is a consideration, but it is not the only one. Depending on their circumstances, their priority could be the potential for promotion, the chance to upskill, travel opportunities or work-life balance,” she explains.
“Therefore, we match a candidate’s goals and expectations with the right company. It is our firm belief that it is not a job well done unless both the candidate and company benefit. We spend so much of our lives are at work. That means that finding the right fit is crucial.”
