It's been a long time since I posted and I'm looking for some feedback/advice. I moved to NC from NJ back in November 2006. I was under contract with my job until November 2007. Now that the contract is behind me, I'm wondering what kind of employment opportunities area available in the banking/mortgage and insurance industry in central/southern NJ. Realistically, I would like to be back in NJ between 3-5 months from now. I realize I must start now to get the ball in motion. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Companies, employment agencies, etc. I just got back from an incredible weekend in NYC and I'm sorry to say, NC just doesn't cut it for me any more. Any information would be greatly appreciated...thanks a bunch!
Check out NJ Manufacturers. A friend of mine mentioned they were hiring a few weeks ago.
I'm sorry to say you are coming back at a difficult time. Not many jobs out there, that pay anyway, and things are very expensive.
Good luck to you.
Don't want to put a damper on this, but I live very close to NJM and many friends either worked there or know someone who worked there. NJM is one of the most difficult places to work. They pay well, but they are truly slave drivers. I would think twice (or three times) before I went to work for them.
Things are getting expensive! Grocery bills are way higher than they used to be a year ago and it's not like I'm eating more.
I agree groceries are astronomical. Buying fruit at the supermarket is nearly impossible because of the prices ($4 for strawberries? 4 lemons for $2.49). I feel like I have to go to 3 different supermarkets just to get a deal. I can't afford to live at this rate.

Yeah, can you believe it? Those are all basics that our country doesn't have to import, why are groceries becoming so expensive! We, the federal gov't, have to stop subsidizing farms to NOT grow crops so we can get abit of competition going!
I'm starting to supplement my grocery shopping at Asian markets where it's actually cheaper to buy exotic fruits and veggies like asian pears and shang hai bok choy! Love that diversity of this state.
As for the job market for insurance/bank/mortage, that industry is taking a beating due to the subprime fiasco. Good luck to you if you can find a job.

3 different supermarkets == lots of gas money too. You can't win.

as a customer why would I care about their workplace? I am interested in paying low rates and having any claims resolved quickly.
If someone doesn't like their job they should find another one

the OP was looking for a job, not car insurance, which is why colleen mentioned that.

You didn't mention that those who pick that fruit and vegies are paid 10 cents a day. So some one is really raking in the doe off of us.
