job and apartment hunting in Sligo from overseas

Xiney

Hello North Westers!

Well, bit of backstory: I'm Canadian, husband's Irish and we're moving back to his native Sligo sometime in August. Actually he's coming over in August and I'll be following in early September as that's the earliest we could get our cat over (his rabies shot was delayed and we needed to wait 6 months after that)

Ok so I'm about to move to Ireland which is both exciting and absolutely terrifying. I've just finished my studies, and provided I've passed my exams I'll have a BSc (Major in Biology and Minor in Geography). I've also spent the past year managing what ammounts to a large scale printing business, so I figure my best bet in terms of jobs is either a retail manager or something in a lab.

Edit (for some reason it posted at this point, silly computer..)

Alright as for an apartment, Hubby will be going to IT Sligo so anywhere closeby would be great. I don't drive but I can ride a bicycle.

So is there any way that I can get started on this? It's my summer vacation and all I can think about is what I'll be doing next year, although there doesn't seem to be much info online in terms of apartments or jobs.

There is a lovely apartment complex just a minutes walk away but I don't know what they are called.

Local real estate company who are good at lettings:

As for the job I wonder if you could get some thing in Abbott? Very prominent Pharmacutical company worldwide:

Thanks Gillie, Abbott looks pretty promising and the Oates Breheny Group certainly has far more apartments listed than anywhere else I've found!
