HELP!! Is there anything out there employment wise for a hard working individual with an M.B.A. in Business and Marketing from Canisius College, and over twenty years experience in business, from administrative, human resources, clerical, sales and marketing to new business development and client contact.

I welcome any imput and / or suggestions or leads that may be available. Thanks to all for your help. Bill

Fredonia is not that close to here... I've never even been there! Just driven past it on my way back from other places. :-) I'm sorry to tell you that the job market in Buffalo is not very good. Perhaps in Fredonia it will be better...

Why don't you contact SUNY Fredonia and ask where to job hunt? Fredonia is a college town.

In your field I would suggest SUNY Fredonia, like the other poster stated. You could look into Jamestown which is a 45 min drive form there. Or maybe neighboring Dunkirk could be some help. There are a few big box stores there if thats your thing. If not I would just use your resources and look online. I know that Jamestown Community College is looking for a small business developer. That might me up your ally. Our newspaper here is the Jamestown Post-Journal and Dunkirks in the Observer. You could also check out indeed.com or somehting like careerbuiler.com or monster.com. Good luck and if you have any more questions about the area just ask.

I grew up in Fredonia and graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 2005. After I graduated, I found a job in Buffalo. Fredonia is a very small town and the surrounding areas are also small...I found that the best place to find a job was in the city.

In Fredonia, the few communications jobs that exist are occupied by people who know what a good thing they have and hold onto it.

You will not find a job within 50 miles of Fredonia.
