A B asked:
I can’t wait! My three year experiment in Orlando, FL was a spectacular failure on almosy every level.
Now that I have said that, I have some questions:
1) What is the best way to secure an out of state job interview and find a company willing to interview me despite being in FL?
2) What staffing agencies are available in Metro Atlanta that cater to a mid level career person. I don’t want to work a $10 per hour job! I already have a degree and tons of work experience in a variety of environments.
3) I used to live there, but where are the real nice areas of Metro Atlanta now?
Thanks for the help!
In response to number 3. I suggest you look at East Cobb County. I live there and it is very nice.
There are some nice areas of Gwinnett County, North Fulton, ie Alpharetta. Try looking there.
Suwanee is great.. its growing so fast and was voted as one of the top 10 places to live in the United States
Perhaps if you join a company in Orlando (like Publix corporate or someplace like that. There are so many companies out of the Lakeland/Orlando/Tampa area that have branches here) they will transfer you to Atlanta and actually help with relocating costs.
I would suggest that you search monster and careerbuilder. There are not very many staffing agencies here in Atlanta that cater to that career level.
If you are looking for more upscale neighborhoods I would suggest North Fulton Co., or Cobb County. Alpharetta, Buckhead, and Midtown are nices places to live. If you are looking for more affordable living, and a slower pace I would suggest living outside the city a few minutes in either Covington or Henry Co./Stockbridge.
Well For Number 3.. I Say McDonough… Its Only 20mins South Of Atlanta… And Its The New Buzz… The Hottest Properties In The Market For Your Buck… Also It HAs A Couple Of Agencies In The Area Plus A Great New Shopping Center Is Starting To Bloom On Exit 218 Off Of I-75… I Heard Its Gonna Be Like Atlantic Station!! I Think If U Tell Companys That Ur Relocating To GA And U Reside In FL… They Will Be More Than Happy To Have A Telephone Interview With You To Start The Hiring Process
