Moving from Australia (Atlanta, Stockbridge, Dallas: find a job, living, best)

[BonnieO]

G'day mate. Hi Im about to move (next month or so) to the paulding country area from Australia because my partner has just received a teaching job in the area. We are very excited as we have never been to this area before (first trip to the states for my partner) we are however, not married and therefore, for visa qualification for me to also come over, I need to find a job in the area that is specifically related to my degree (marketing and information systems).

Can anyone offer me any suggestions as to:
- good employment search engines, or well known marketing firms
- time it will take to drive into Atlanta if we are living out near Dallas
- Any other information that will help in me finding a professional job.

We are just so excited to be coming over and having our first semi-white christmas.

Cheers

Immediate hire available with good to great pay based on experience. Company is Bellsouth but they recently bought out AT&T so jobs are found at att.jobs & at https://bellsouth.taleo.net/servlets...sNo=10161&sp=1. Many others can be found that may be closer to where you need them to be, but this is a great company to work for and getting hired is a breeze if you have half a brain. Good luck and who knows I might even end up working with you sometime next year. Depends on contract and re-enlistment opportunities with the Navy.

according to google maps, dallas, ga is 37.7 miles to atlanta, ga. That is a long way to drive in atlanta traffic. Traffic around and thru atlanta backs up for hours at the slightest problem (driver w/flat tire). I would advise to find something closer to home. It would be best to contact the city of dallas, by website and go to the chamber of commerce to see what businesses are there, then choose one to contact regarding jobs. Also try AJC.com for jobs. This site is from the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. That's Atlanta's #1 newspaper. Greetings from Stockbridge, Ga. (19 mi. south of Atlanta) hope you find Ga. to your liking. I've lived here my entire lifetime, 50 years in July.
