If you’re unemployed and love bananas, this is going to be the job for you

Dave Hanratty

Banana job

You might find this a-peel-ing…

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Fond of bananas and think you’re the ideal candidate to ensure the future of the lucrative and nutritious banana trade? Today might be your lucky day.

Fyffes Bananas Ltd in Swords are looking for a Senior Banana Ripener to handle “the pressure and responsibilities that go along with this front line time-sensitive position.”

Such responsibilities include ripening and “planning” bananas under the watchful eye of the Ripening Manager, while delivering the correct quantity of peak condition bananas to meet demand.

Fyffes are after someone who is computer literate with strong communication skills and a good understanding of the English language, as well as a “hands-on approach” which you’d imagine is a given, really.

The job listing doesn’t say anything about needing to love bananas, necessarily, but you have to think that such affection for the fruit would give you an edge.

If this sounds like you and you’re up to the task, you can apply right here by or before Thursday 1 March.
