This looks like a good place to start looking if you're in the U.K. If the interest is in some part of the USA, I'd suggest looking at the websites for the big aerospace and defense contractors to see if they have branches in the part of the country one might be interested in living in. There really isn't much available information on Ada jobs. Most of the references you'd find on the net lead you to headhunters - not necessarily a bad thing, but not giving you much insight into where to look for the things that *don't* get handed off to a headhunter. What might be useful to the Ada community would be to have a set of links to company websites for companies that are known to be doing Ada development in some capacity. Some version of: "If your company is doing anything with Ada, send in a link along with a brief description of any Ada work you know is being done..." That would probably be more effective than simply looking for Ada job postings which would undoubtedly miss most of the stuff going on. I'd suggest that AdaPower would be the logical place for such a page, but I certainly wouldn't want to volunteer anyone for more work. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Colin Paul Gloster" wrote in message news:slrna64rgn.mfs.cpg@Prodigy.redbrick.dcu.ie... > You might try to get into one of the I.T. companies listed on > HTTP://WWW.UKspace.com/profbrw.htm > Good luck.
