Hi everyone!
Like so many in this forum, I am currently living in the U.S. and wanting to make the move to Edinburgh, but finding it difficult to find employment & housing. I currently work as a government contractor and am getting my master's degree in counseling. Any recommendations?
Also, I'd love to hear from anyone who relocated with a pet, as I will be taking my 6-yr old dog with me when I move.
Thanks!!
Edinburgh, here I come! Maybe...?

Edinburgh is pretty cliquey when it comes to getting work. Very much who you know. And different groups tend to work in different areas. Like banking for instance - a fair few Americans and plenty of English working in that particular sector. A lot of Polish people working in both the construction and hospitality industries. And also as car mechanics. If you have a work permit, you might be able to get work in social work, with the local council. Though these days local government throughout Britain is getting smaller. They contract out a lot of stuff these days. You could maybe check out the prison service. They employ counsellors from time to time.
