My wife and I visited Charleston and fell in love with it. We are getting ready to make the move and are looking to see if anyone could help us with a few job lead/or let us know how the job market is doing. We are going to rent and are looking to be fairly close to work. We were thinking the Mt Pleasant, or Summerville area. Just hoping to be near our work. We'd be interested in finding the availability of jobs in the Fitness field. I was going to contact the gyms in the area, but I am hoping to work for myself and gain a few clients and run a few bootcamps. I am currently doing that is Oregon and would like to duplicate that if at all possible. Not sure which area would be best suited for fitness training and bootcamps. Any advice on the best places to market this type of business would be great too. Along with that I also hold a degree in Drafting and would be interested in that too. I have done architectural visualization for many years. (here are a few samples of my work www.dcgraphicsrendering.com) My wife has been an administrative assistant for many years and just became a YOGA certified, but would be looking for part time.

I have had a few odd jobs in the past too from working construction (ex: concrete work, drywall) even cleaning jobs and carpet cleaning. We are just hard working individuals hoping for a few leads before we get there.

Most of the people we have talked to have asked for a resume, but will talk to us when we get out there. That is what we where planning to do, but everyone is so helpful on the forum I thought why not put it out there. Thanks for everyones help!

Default Here are some job leads I found

I found some job leads at UPS, Dick's sporting goods (I know a 20 yr old who made $12 an hour plus commission to start), Habitat for Humanity is looking for John's Island volunteers (opportunity to make construction oriented friends), Zachry is a construction orientated job placement agency, HD Supply is looking for a non CDL driver.

Remedy Intelligent Staffing, American Data Group, QinetiQ, Adecco or NES employment might be a good agency for your wife to try some admin asst jobs til she can get a job using her Yoga certification.

HTH.
