Hey everyone, my friend and I have both decided on the move down to Charlotte this coming Oct. We'll be down next week to take a look around and see where we want to live, and hopefully get some leads on jobs. I just wanted to run a few questions by you all, this forum is a great resource.
1. I've done some research and found you have a JobLink resource center. Are their services valuable?
2. Both of us have industrial maintenance experience (electricians) from up north, what are some larger companies down there that are not too far from the Charlotte area?
3. Is the cost of tuition reduced after you live in the state for a certain amount of time? We both have an Assoc. but would like to look into finishing the Bachelors.
4. We're both young, I'm 22, him 30, we like to go out on the weekends and have a good time, where are the best places to live with people our age around?
5. If you can please recommend an apt complex. We're looking for a younger area, possibly near campus, 2BR 1.5 bath, 1000-1200 sq ft, balcony, most utilities included, 700-850/mo.
6. How's the job market right now for the skilled trades? We have some contacts but nothing solid right now so hopefully when we go down we can get a better feel of the market? Are there any steel mills down there? Thats primarily my experience in the field. Right now we're both looking to stay in the industrial field, but any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Weew!
That was kinda long, thanks to all who read and who reply.
