Updated : May 28, 2009
We started every day, bar today, with good jobs news this week, but eager not to disappoint on the jobs front we decided to end today with positive employment news.
A German software company is creating 30 jobs in an expansion of its research and development centre in Derry.
Northern Ireland Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster welcomed the expansion by InVision Software. She is due to visit to the company at Northland Road later this morning.
The company said ten of the new staff for the high quality software development, customer support and documentation posts had already been recruited and the remaining twenty would follow.

The minister said: 'InVision is precisely the type of innovative company that we are targeting for investment and reinvestment, with its specialised development activities in the IT sector and its commitment to providing high quality career opportunities.'
Mrs Foster added that InVision's long-term plans to further expand its R&D centre were yet another welcome boost to the development of a strong knowledge-based economy.
InVision says it is an international provider of workforce management software solutions.
Operations director Stephen Williams said the company, which started up in Derry in 2001, planns to bring total employment to 60 by 2012.
He said the strong performance of the centre, combined with a sound skills base and Invest NI support, made it an appropriate location for InVision's R&D operations.
Invest NI offered £251,000 in financial support for the expansion.
