Hi All,

My wife has recently taken up a post in Dubai and I've moved the kids over a few weeks ago. So now I have to find a job for myself, which is where I need a bit of help. I am still employed in the UK by a Fortune 500 company who don't really want me to leave, but the situ is not ideal though.

I have around 16 years of IT related experience - lots of networking and email systems; Team Management; Project Management; Solution Selling; lots of international experience (UK, South Africa, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, USA, Canada) including some work in Dubai around a decade ago. Originally South African - have been based in the UK for around 10 years now and have a UK passport.

Any tried and tested advice on where I could start looking? Have established that the employment agencies are not getting me very far. Also hear that many roles are filled thru referrals and are not necessarily even advertised...

Thanks in advance
