I just thought of something

I've had a really hard time job hunting on UK job sites for two reasons. One, my field is pretty specialised, and two, a lot of the companies looking for GIS analysts are either offering contractual work or they only want EU applicants. My question now is, if I were sure I'd be going to the UK on a spouse visa and I'd be able to legally work in the UK, could I not email these companies and ask them to consider my application anyway? I mean, they wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of sponsoring a work visa for me or anything, right?

I think most companies would ask for poof of been able to work legally in the uk before saying that they would be willing to consider making a job offer.

My friend recently applied for a job, after waiting for four weeks of not been contacted he contacted the company to ask if the vacancy had been filled. The reply to his question was that the company had received over 2000 applications & that they were still trying to filter the list down to a manageable level before starting the interviews. I think that with the level of job seekers that most companies are binning any applicants that don't meet the criteria straight a way.
I don't want to put dontpushme off finding a job, I just think it maybe better to have the right paperwork / visas etc before applying.

I did not want to cause any offence, I was just trying to explain what was needed and why.

Im not offended, no way I hope you are not as well. Like she said It was just a thought. Like said, if she got nothing better to do Then why not look around, meaning just look, dont apply. Like you said, better to have all the required papers in your hands first. Not only that, many teachers have arrived from the phil thinking they can teach same as, only to be disappointed, being told they papers are not worth the paper they are printed on.
