This is excellent advice: the London.pm mailing list (which probably won't
do *you* much good :-) does have contacts with reputable (and of course
some not-so reputable) agencies. But a lot of positions seem to be filled
(off-line) through direct contact between Moungers <English spelling :->
As an outsider (I live ~300 miles away and just lurk on the mailing-list)
it seems like London.pm-ers have have a hand in most of the UK^WLondon-based
web-sites. And then there are the specialists like Tim Bunce (Mr. DBI) aka
The Perl Clinic.
I should probably mention that Tony Bowden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is always
on the lookout for good programmers who'd like to work in Northern Ireland:
check the web-site <www.blackstar.co.uk> for details.
Training is also a good option I've found :-) Though it eats into
programming-time.
