Hi there. My name is Natacha. I’m currently living in Belgium.
I’m new to this forum and I need some advice before moving to Scotland.
I will move to Scotland in April 2012 but I have not decided yet whether to move to Edinburgh or Dundee. It will depend on the following factors:
-Social contact: how easy is it to meet people;
-Both nature (I love walking) and cultural life nearby (I enjoy museum, architecture, exhibitions…);
-Job opportunities : I speak English, French and Dutch fluently and have good notions of Italian and German; I have work experience in customer care and support (I have experience in giving training, coaching; I’m currently working for a railway engineering company where I give organizational support and consolidate information to assure their reporting). It doesn’t necessarily have to be that kind of job; I want to know if I have any chance to get a job with my profile.
-Affordable accommodations, preferably not far from the city centre and under 500 GBP PM; I wouldn’t mind sharing the flat
Can you give me some advice on this ?
Thanks a lot
