Plenty of places in science the UK is short of them, buy New Scientist and look at the jobs, and also on their site and similar science ones.

you sound like the ideal woman

have you looked if there are any courses you could do and get a student visa? you could work upto 20hrs a week,

LOL, thanks. To be honest, I've checked but I can't say that I want to stay in school for much longer. It may be just because of my thesis, but I've had it up to here with school. Don't get me wrong, I love classes and homework and tests and challenges, but I don't like writing anymore. I might revisit that option though, if I get desperate enough.

yes but you dont do roofs

anyway, being so tall, i'm of heights, my misses being a brave filipina is fearless , that she climbs up the 25ft ladders to clear the gutters

what a woman, who needs ya steve

Hey, you won't need anyone else with her around. Haha! And who said I didn't do roofs?

you're afraid of heights joe? I think lots of Filipinas are fearless..I even want to try sky diving! though flying cockroaches terrify me!

Haha! My boyfriend refused to go parasailing with me because I had just had knee surgery and I had a leg brace on. Well, that was his excuse so I'd try something else, but I doubt he'd have gone without me either. I'm not afraid of cockroaches, but I hate snails and slugs and leeches! *shudder*

I know that some (probably all) of the utility companies in the UK use GIS ........ have you tried a specialist UK recruitment agency or utility company websites?

Hmm. Maybe I'm approaching the wrong way. I've only been to job search websites and I don't know any recruiting agencies in the UK. I'll have to check that out.

Hi Not an Expert on the GIS Job market byu any strecth but the UK really is all about experience and most specialist Jobs have there own Recruitment agencies or methods of advertising. I guess its because of how old the UK is that so many traditions and ways of doing things have become accepted..
Dont just look for the actual Job you do look into similar positions.

Im sure you googled i see there are quite a few GIS job sites about but of the one i looked at they were not interested in those who don't already have the right to work in the UK :(
But keep looking and contact the agencies, the adverts as we know for all jobs have more requirments than neccesary and of course want to discourage to many applicants from abroad for practical reasons (cost mainly). Often if someone is very good and they cant find someone of the calibre they will come round at least in my industry

I don't know what the UK's stand is on non-citizens working for the government or government-related companies, but here in the US, I can't qualify for a lot of the companies/agencies that I want to work for because they deal with government stuff. Not all of it's high security, mind. Some are just for city planning or water works.

Plenty of places in science the UK is short of them, buy New Scientist and look at the jobs, and also on their site and similar science ones.

Thanks for the suggestion! That sounds promising.
