Heading to Jacksonville..Announcement and suggestions?

So, my wife and I heading to Jacksonville Fl to check out the scene. We are wanting to make the move to an area where there is more water than Atlanta, and that's not Atlanta. Me and my Carolina Skiff love to fish and do just about anything water related, and there's lots in Jacksonville and I read that the job market there is #3 in the nation....leading to....

Announcement:

I am proud to say that I have successfully taken and passed the exam that now bestows upon me the title of Certified Project Management Professional. It was a real azz of a test and put me and my wife through hell. So I am going to be using my 14 years of experience in the IT field and my Certification to do some job shopping.

So...suggestions on what to do, where to look, companies to harass, I mean submit to? This really is more of a feeler trip, as we have a house we would have to sell, etc before I can realistically get a job there. But the earlier I start the better of course.

Thanks for any input folks!

Paulie

Congrats on your quals, well done.

Jacksonville is a bit of an enigma, a best of times, worst of times sort of thing.

Location is everything...blocks mean the difference between squalor and cool. Where your job may be will dictate a lot.

Jax is also spread out and the traffic is tough, stop light tough, miles and miles of it.

Jax is the second largest city in Ga. You'll be right at home coming from the largest.

Paulie,

Send me a PM with your info. I work for CIBER and we have been hiring a lot of PMs lately. I'll be down at our east coast HQ tomorrow. I can pass your info on to the head recruiter.

We all work remotely. So, pick out a place on the beach with a nice view.
