Era Might Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I am looking for work (in Massachusetts). It's not bad here, I think I will find something fairly quickly (professional jobs like sales, etc., not talking about labor-related jobs). I know someone in New Orleans where I could go...I'm weighing the possibility of making a crazy move, I've always wanted to live West Coast-ish, this would put me closer, but I have to find work fast (like within the next couple weeks). Anyone know what the job market is like in New Orleans? Or just west coastish in general? I checked the unemployment rate, it's pretty much equal with Massachusetts, but that probably doesn't give the whole picture. Texas is supposed to be real good, New Orleans isn't far away...

Anastasia13 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) No kidding, North Dakota has like the lowest unemployment rate and I heard jobs pay well there. Maybe you should send a couple of applications that way. Edited December 17, 2012 by Light and Truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 You should become self-employed, then make your job title "Filthy Capitalist". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've watched enough episodes of Shark Tank to do it. Even watched it's redheaded Canadian cousin "Dragons' Den" bwahahahaha. Canadians are nice people.

Yeah but Dragons' Den was amateur hour and low money. Notice how on Sharks Tank they all dress in sharp business suits. On Dragons' Den it was business casual for most of the panel lol.

You have never seen downtown Calgary during Stampede. :hehe: I do not think there is anywhere in the world where you will see more millionaires in one place wearing cowboy boots and hats.

What industry/ discipline are you in? I can assure you there is not much to find on the West Coast (California, etc.) other than maybe government gigs or maybe healthcare. But it is all about what skill set you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StMichael Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Marketing / communications (copywriting) / sales I have much experience there.... Do you have a portfolio? If not, you need one. Have you contacted head hunters? If not, contact some. There are some good shops in MA (Arnold, MMB, etc.) and so-called integrated shops (Digitas, TMP) that you might want to knock on their doors. New Orleans is definitely not a hot bed of advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
