Contemplating a move to NoVA; where can I find job listings?

Rufblackbird · 01-22-2005, 10:33 PM

Hey guys, my sister has decided to move to NoVA (10 minutes from DC I think) for a job for at least two years, and I've been contemplating on moving with her, since I can't stand living with my brother and sometimes my parents (it's an asian thing...). I have a degree in business management, but enjoy metals fabrication and some mechanics more than an office job. Where can I find some local listings for jobs? Thanks!

Oh, and I already posted on the dorki misc. forum, just hoping I can catch someone here that doesn't know of that forum. Thanks

Did you try monster.com?

yeah, but nothing there really interests me. I was hoping for more of a local listing. Thanks

Jeff, I live in NoVa and probably THE best source in the Washington Post. Online; washingtonpost.com/jobs and also the print edition as the two are seperate listings. You'll find the online version doesn't always have all the listings as it costs extra.

A lot of people don't like the paper, but it's the one everybody looks to for what's what. Any further help let me know.

I always had a fall back job thought out doing AC & Electrics.
The income possibilities are available if I didn't screw up my management. A decent van and a few $ for diagnostics and I'll never starve. If I'd be able to eventually keep 2 young'ns employed I'd be able to make big blue collar bucks.

metro DC has tons of big bucks populations. Kinda like the harder you work the more you make. Those homeowners have the bucks for non essential AC systems and fine home electricals. Service techs are becoming a rare breed. Especially service techs with brains.

Oh, those dorki guys put together a real nice BBS.

The service industry is huge here.

I might be able to get you a gig - need someone in that area. You can use your intrests in mechanics. You'd get trained on how to assess reliability issues in mfg plants and on heavy eqt. The pay is good to start and gets better the better you get. PM me if your interested.
