Time to Move

[Accountable]

Well, It’s time for me to start yet another chapter of my adventure. I have sold my house in Las Vegas and am moving to San Antonio. Is anyone in the Forum from there? I’m going to have to look for work, and could really use a network to help.

what is your profession? ( i think we have members from that area.) best wishes!

My latest is training manager. I really enjoy leadership development, and have a masters degree in HR development. I also have 15 years ground transportation management experience, have been an office manager for several years, and did a little construction customer service.

My only real criterion is that I want to be a hero. I really enjoy helping people get what they came for. Teaching is in my blood, but I really had a lot of fun doing the customer service bit. That is the job for a hero. A home owner calls with a problem. If you can fix it on the spot, you do it. *Hero* If you can't fix it yourself, you get the experts in an make sure they get it done right and quickly. *still the Hero* I get a similar rush from helping new supervisors build the skills they need to inspire their teams to greatness.

I spent two weeks in San Antonio one day.

Dude, become a teacher! You'll absolutely love it! You want to be a hero? how about shaping the futures of entire families...for generations to come!

If you've already got a Bachelor's, look into what's called, "Alternative Licensure." You get to start teaching right away, so you can pay the bills. Then you take a few night classes (which the District will pay for) and you get another Bachelor's degree in a couple of years!

As for San Antonio...you seriously want to be a TEXAN!?!! Please have your head examined immediately! But at least the weather will be nicer..

about 112 degrees in the Summer, but you are used to that, but here's what you're not expecting 100% HUMIDITY!

ACK!!!

You could here. www.tcd.ie

I'll definitely look into teaching. Thanx. But what'swrong with Texas??

I'm originally from Louisiana, so I already have webbed feet. The humidity should be no problem. Another thing that's no problem is the lack of income tax.

You're not one of those that think that snow is a good thing, are you? The only snow I am comfortable with I can get rid of with a twist of the antenna!

Just an update. We are relocated and moved into a nice apartment. I start the job hunt for real today.

All the statistics I read say that San Antonio has a lower cost of living than Las Vegas. If that's true I can think of only one way to pull it off. People must simply buy less here than there! Base wages seem to be lower and prices are definitely higher.

Best wishes, & good luck job hunting. But you kind of did it backwards, usually you get the new Job first, and then sell your house & relocate. It's a lot less pressure on yourself that way, but again Best wishes & Good Luck!!! It will work out, it always does.

Thanks, Cars. I've never received a reply from any out-of-town employer. Everybody wants locals. I must be doing something wrong in my approach, but the only thing various advisors have told me was that my resume may be too strong. I felt like the little kid whose mom tells 'im "they're just jealous."
I'd rather be employed with a crappy resume, y'know?

Need some fast feedback, guys. anybody have any idea what a fleet manager makes nowadays? Nationwide co., about 1500 vehicles scattered throughout. Staff of 3 assistants. Salary.com says 60-80K but I've never known it to be accurate. I have 14 years in this field, but it was military & not much reason to track pay rates.
