My fiance and I are preparing to move to the Triangle area and we'd like some advice. We're looking to rent a decent house 2 bed and 2 bath (we've got twins). My fiance is a Academic Advisor and I'm a Program Coordinator in Sales.
We need jobs, we need a house for rent, we need a good school, I'm not sure what the transportation situation is like so I know we're going to need a car. We were planning on settling here in Memphis but the opportunities here are just too scarce, the crime too high...its just depressing.
Is Raleigh a good place to start over? Is it possible to find an you find work in 1-2 mos??? My twins went to the Snowden School here in Memphis, one of the best schools period in Memphis...What are ther "good" public elementary schools?
put your resume on websites like monster & stuff. my husband did that and found recruiters that way. have the recruiters help you find a job or at least start looking for one before you move. even in the best job market there's no guarantees.
i've heard rumors that triangle park isn't a great place for marketing majors though. wish you best of luck. we're working with recruiters to find work too, but we won't move till we have a job in hand.
