Edinburgh & Scotland Jobs
Completing students regularly ask about jobs in Edinburgh (and Scotland). I
post specific vacancies on the distribution list as they appear, but
inevitably there are more of you
wanting to stay in Edinburgh than there are positions available.
Having said that, there are a significant number of organisations which use GIS
and offer either temporary or more permanent positions. It is well worth
reading up on how these organisations actually use GIS via their web sites before
sending in untargetted speculative applications. Don't just send a letter to
every one on the list, think about who you actually want to target. Often web
sites will include positions currently being advertised.
