I recently spoke (or actually wrote) with an HR girl from Ireland. Since I'm not in Ireland at the moment I asked her and she admittedly confirmed that being on location increases the chances of finding a job. If you are in a professional niche where there is great demand you might find something before you move, but chances seem to be a bit low...

Could you advice, which is a more efficient way of finding a job in Ireland?
- should I start it remotely, from the other country, using the internet?
- or should I move to Ireland, have a local address, arrange registration procedures, and than start finding a job locally?

thank you
(ps: I am planning to move to Ireland with my family, my key experiences are program and project management, business process development)
