Thanks for the advice Cassandra!
I was only offered my job a few weeks ago so she didn't want to start applying until I was defiantly coming! We understand that many jobs have now been filled.
As I said earlier, she had an interview for a position with Sherborne the other day but unfortunately did not get it. She also had an offer from Cambridge but after seeking advice on here, over the internet and with our friends in Doha she has turned that one down. So we just have to keep trying! I asked my employer if I could sponsor her which they said yes so if she cannot get a job this year then that is what I will do.
