Planning in Twin Cities Area?? (Mankato: college, internship, move to)

[kg1701d]

Does anyone have any good ideas on places to look for city planning jobs in the Twin Cities Metro Area? I'm going to be graduating in May and would really love to move to the Twin cities area but thats mildly dependent on me getting a job there if you know what I mean. Thanks!!

Other than visiting webpages for individual cities and counties in the metro area, I'd try mnapa.com. Try the Met Council's website too.

I went to Mankato State for my masters in planning. It's actually easier in many cases to get a job in outstate MN for that first job as most people want to work in the metro area or at least in one of the larger cities. Not only do most new college grads want to be closer to the action, but the pay is generally better in the metro as well.

I remember just trying to find an internship in the metro area was a frustrating and lengthy process, but you just have to keep trying if that's where you want to be. I was about ready to throw in the towel when I finally caught a break. Remember, you're competing against U of M and Mankato State grads too, so very competitive.
