Job hunting in Greensboro? (Charlotte, Salisbury: living in, employers, pay scale)

[alane1770]

My boyfriend is considering a job in Salisbury, NC (yes, about 50 minutes from your fine town). We aren't set on living in a city, but since Salisbury kinda in the middle of Charlotte and Greensboro (from my slim research -- please correct me if I'm wrong) I wasn't sure in which city I should concentrate my job search -- I am looking in the HR field. I have read on the Charlotte message board that job hunting in Charlotte is VERY difficult, despite the wonderful stories of Charlotte's "booming economy" that I saw; is finding a job in Greensboro equally difficult?

Input would be great! Thank you!

With so many people flocking to NC, one thing you will find is employers will be rather slow in making their decision. From what I hear, job hunting in Greensboro can be more difficult in some ways than Charlotte. Greensboro is not as progressive as Charlotte, so be patient!

BTW - Salisbury, IMO, is a bit closer to Charlotte than Greensboro. And you may find pay scales a bit higher in Charlotte.
