I might add these are high paying jobs for the right applicant averaging approx 72,000, well above the average salary for the Triad. This is excellent news for Winston-Salem...this company could have easily jumped to Atlanta, Houston, or Austin, but chose to stay in Winston-Salem where it is cheaper to do business.

The interview process is ... well ... interesting.
Maybe it's just because times have changed; I haven't gone job hunting in over 15 years. Inmar's interview tactics are comprised of a cattle call to sort out the hundreds who will apply. Even with an online application, resume and cover letter, you walk in, are seated at long tables, and told to fill out another application. Then you are hustled down to a large conference room where you meet with a couple of HR people who allocate ~10 minutes to do what I later described as a "Barbara Walters interview". Seriously, I was waiting for them to ask me "if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" When I sussed it out later, I realized that it was a way of finding out how you would fit into the social, interpersonal scheme of the company. I walked in, pumped and ready for selling my skills, experience and job strengths, and was totally thrown by what amounts to questions like "how would you handle someone with whom you had opinions that you disagreed." My response (not in so many words) "WTF?" I replied with the tactic I've used for the nearly three decades I've been employed: I mind my own business, keep controversial subjects out of the workplace, and merely be polite and agree to disagree.
So, anyone who applies, first be prepared to walk in and charm them, then they'll look at your qualifications.
The job setting is in one of the nicest areas of WS, close to Wake Forest and quite near the Reynolda area. I hope the burgeoning work force doesn't force a relocation of the business to some bland corporate campus area.

Could have been worse, they could have hired a temp agency to sort & select from resumes submitted online.
Great news, but I hope they build a new headquarters Downtown. Suburban office campuses are so 1983.
Wouldn't have to build. There is plenty of office space due to Wachovia and Reynolds decamping
But their current setting is nice. Depends how you come in; I traveled from the west; but it was nice driving down some of the tree lined roads that approached the office building. I would hate to fight the snarl of 52 or navigate the labyrinth of roads of downtown.

Actually, this isn't the case. Winston-Salem has the least amount of vacant office space in the Triad. As a corollary, the Winston office market is booming and there is a need for new space.
I'm hoping that Inmar decides to build a new skyscraper rather than renovating one of RJR's old tobacco warehouses.

I hope you know you put a whammy on them, saying that
I looked at the area via google street view (7th and Vine). The article seemed to have placed an emphasis on the historic tax credits as an incentive. It will be a bonus for W-S, seeing those old brick buildings refurbished and made more attractive.
