[Sheflug] Sheffield advice

[Dave Mimno <nospam [at] mimno.org>]

Hi!

I'm a long-time linux user from America. My fiancee was recently accepted       
to a graduate program at the University of Sheffield. I'd like to go with
her, but I would need to find a source of income. Would anybody be able to
tell me whether British companies regularly hire foreigners? What is the
IT job market like in Sheffield currently? Most recently, I've been
working with J2EE/Oracle web applications, writing JSP/Servlets, EJBs, and
PL/SQL stored procedures. I also have experience with Perl, PHP and MySQL,
as well as administrative experience with linux and solaris. Would I have
a reasonable chance of finding some kind of employment? Would it be
possible to commute to Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, etc.?

Thank you very much for any help you can offer,
Dave Mimno

(this is from a few days ago, but it would be "videtur", with an 'e' -- 
2nd conjugation verb :-)
