Hi Everyone,

After 3 years, I'm finally going back on vacation to Florida. I have been trying to find a job in Florida for quite some time, but its pretty tough getting an offer that pays a decent slary where I can support my family. The majority of my career has been in manufacturing in Quality Inspection and I&C Technician, and my wife has only been able to find a job as a MAA. My wife has a bachelors in family studies, but plans on going back to school for either nursing, sonography, or to get her masters in social work. I've applied everywhere from Boca Raton to Orlando. Not interested in working or living around Jax or the west coast (except maybe the Tampa area). I am heading down to FL next week and I hope to take a few days to really explore the Orlando area (My wife really likes that area). Does anyone know of any companies that are hiring, that I should look at?

My time down there will not just consist of looking for jobs. We plan to spend time in FT. Lauderdale, West Palm, and definately Orlando. In Orlando, we will be going to city walk but dont plan on going to any of the parks because my daughter is only 10 months old so I don't think it's worth spending the money if she won't even remember it.

Thanks for your help!

G.W. Schultz Tool, Inc, in Tavares outside of Orlando. Link below.

Not sure if you're familiar with CNC, but they also have a machine shop in the back with O.D. grinders, mills, cutters, etc. and they do have a need for QC personnel. They manufacture cutting tools, from drill bits to end mills. I know for fact that they are hiring. Starting salary if you have no experience might be a bit shoddy, though. They pay most of their permanent staff pretty well.

You might want to look at the yacht companies in the Miami area given your background. Might be a job source.
