So, after emailing, calling and generally harassing probably well over 100 companies and recruitments agencies, we’ve decided to call it quits. Companies in London are seriously opposed to sponsoring work permits, something I need in order to work here (I’m writing this while still in London).

So where to next? We’ve got a couple of ideas but we’ve narrowed things down to either Australia or Singapore - we’ve got excellent opportunities in both places at the moment which is really encouraging after over a month of constantly being told there’s nothing people can do. To be fair, not everyone has been cold and blunt about it and I’ve been in contact with a number of recruiters who have been really sympathetic and helpful which was really nice.

As I said ages ago, I’ll write another appropriate post when the status of things change and there’s news worth relating.
