[1.15] Getting a job in Scotland


This page is moving soon to http://www.siliconglen.com/

The Scotsman and The Herald carry job adverts most days, although Friday is usually the best day for both. The Scotsman has an Edinburgh bias to the jobs in it, the Herald a Glasgow bias. However, sometimes jobs in Edinburgh are only advertised in the Herald. I've also seen Highland jobs only advertised in the Herald. Best to get both if you're not fussy about location

All the on-line resources are currently biased towards computing jobs.

There are two newsgroups
scot.jobs - Jobs wanted and offered in Scotland.

uk.jobs.offered - jobs in UK (covers Scotland but heavily dominated by jobs in England)

Jobserve

Jobserve allows to to filter jobs by location so you can receive a mail whenever a job in Scotland comes up which matches your criteria (e.g. technical skills) For more information about JobServe, please send a blank e-mail to mailto:help@jobserve.com or visit the web server at http://www.jobserve.com/

Jobsite

Similar to Jobserve although some jobs may appear on one and not the other. Send an e-mail to mailto:jobsite@jobsite.co.uk or visit their website at

If you are not a European Union citizen, then there are complex laws around obtaining a work permit and residency or being a student. You are strongly advised to consult the British Embassy or Consulate in your country for official advice. There is some information at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/nat1.htm
entitled "Naturalisation as a British Citizen - A guide for applicants" which should help. See also
