We’ve had a revamp of the noticeboard outside the compsci general office. There are now lots of job adverts posted up there. Do have a browse, there are some great salaries, and some interesting companies all wanting your skills. Many of the job adverts come from aber.prospects.ac.uk or from prospects.ac.uk, but some come from individual employer websites. If you know of any jobs that should be put up there, you can email Amanda (afc) or give any printouts directly to the people in the general office.
