Because she told me to help her find a job and stuff. I'm posting for her so she can read what myself and other people are saying about Huntsville and her relocation plans. I'm actually having difficuly finding a job for her on the Internet that's why I came here so that hopefully you guys can give me some answers so that I can share them with her.

With all due respect to your 'family member', if she's not actively seeking & asking questions herself, she's not serious about finding a job here.

There's only so much you can do for her, it's kinda like pushing against a rope.

Only she will know what questions to ask... the questions that concern her the most, and how to ask. Only by asking the right questions will she solicits the responses from the right person.
  • Does her husband even want to move away from Rochester?
  • Has she ever work in aerospace & defense sector before?
  • How are her current skills match with what companies in HSV area look for?
  • Does she know of any professional colleagues in the HSV area that can give her "the rope" in her profession?
  • Do they want to live near a bigger city?
  • Is her husband interested in re-establish his business practice in a new city?
If she's been to Atlanta many times on business trips, chances are she knows the area, her industry, her colleagues would've briefed her "the rope" in the greater Atlanta area, and it sounds like she feels comfortable with the area.

Two different quotes, identical incoherent sentences

HSV area job market is booming with aerospace & defense jobs, any specific jobs are based on individual companies needs and your relevant experience --- including software engineering. First identify what companies are here in HSV, then go to their websites and click on 'job search'.

She is very serious about her job search! She asked for my help so as my part, I came here so I can get information from you guys. She doesn't know about this website! She is searching the Internet down for jobs, which is making her pretty exhausted. So that's why she is asking for my help! I'm just trying to make it easier for her because she already has a lot of things on her shoulder, which mainly includes relocation plans. Since she knows that I like researching, she picked me to get the job done.
