Job Hunt is at a Crawl at best!

Thanks again!

Another site is jobsonline.net. The only problem that I have with the site is that you have to go through a TON of advertisement to sign up. You will find yourself hitting the no thanks button a million times. I prefer indeed.com however jobsonline.net has good listings from time to time. Good luck with your interview.

I know I have said that before but it is so unprofessional and so opposite of the normal southern hospitality we receive in all other areas of Charlotte.

Thanks, all. It went very well; actually great. I interviewed with someone who was also from SoCal, lived and worked in the same cities I did. It's nice to have that "insider" connection, I feel pretty confident coming out.

I work in a real estate at a major bank in New York and was having the same trouble trying to get a job in Raleigh or Charlotte. Although, my company has a small office located in Raleigh the job prospect there is limited; not to mention all depts there are back office. Since my time is coming close to summer and I would like to be situated in NC by summer, I utilized all those companies who does business with our bank. I saved my trump card for last, especially since I did not want to really leave before June. I am in daily contact with very important people in Real Estate and Legal Firms. I am an executive admin and speak to these clients on a regular--have worked the same firm for 12 years. I spoke to these clients who we do business with, which has a firm in either Raleigh, Charlotte or Durham. I told them what I was looking for and asked them to send my resume to the recruiter at those NC offices. The response has been better than expected. Since my resume floated from a senior managers in their offices in NY. The callback was overwhelming, even if they did not have a job for me as of yet. They would keep me in mind and know that I will be living in NC by the end of June. However, I have two interviews this week both in Charlotte from my NY clients contact--utilize those firms where you already have a connection. Best of luck...
