Moving to the Conway area
My husband and I were hoping to move back to New England sometime in the Fall of '09. We have been looking around in the Conway and Madison areas. My husband is a mechanic and I will be an LPN/LVN by then. We have been there to visit several times (my hubby has family there) but have not been able to settle on a definite area to look at. We are both in our early 30s and we have 2 small children. We are trying to find someplace with a small town feeling. Could you please give me some idea of what the job market would be like and recommend some places to look? I would greatly appreciate any input you can offer. Thanks  |

most of the work is strictly seasonal. You might be able to pick up a job in Rochester at the Walmart, Lowes or Kohls or some other chain store.
There is a hospital in Rochester and a few outpatient type clinics, so you should be able to find a job as a nurse fairly easily. Also, check with the local schools.
Waste Management (trash removal company) almost always has signs looking for mechanics.
Good luck in your job search!

Yeah, i agree with buck. pretty seasonal up there. i been up there quite a few times and in the winter there isn't much going on. summer time it get's real busy. you might want to find something a little further south. good luck what ever you choose. |

So it would be a little better to look farther south. I would really rather try to stay working in the medical field (student loans to pay  ) not really interested in retail or seasonal work. Could you offer any advice on the Rochester area? Thanks for your help. |

you will find alot more medical jobs and mechanic jobs further south. because there are alot more hospitals and garages down south. i used to live in rochester. it is a very nice place to live. there is plenty of those kinds of jobs their and in surounding town and cities. this is the local news paper for that area.
