Hi Liz,<BR><BR>I live just outside of Edinburgh, so if I can be of any help, pls feel free to email me. In the meantime though - try the Scotsman for jobs (on a Friday). Most ads can also be accessed online at scotsman.com. What sort of thing is it that you do?<BR><BR>Also, I'm not sure what your accommodation situation is, but be prepared for fairly expensive rental prices compared to other parts of Scotland (barring Glasgow). The last flat I rented in Edinburgh was &pound;400 a month for a 1-bedroom flat. There are numerous agencies to try for finding accommodation.<BR><BR>Let us know how you get on!

Do you hold an EU passport? Do you have a work permit? If not, have you checked whether you can legally obtain work in the UK, and if so, for how long? Please check the rules at www.homeoffice.gov.uk <BR>
