Moving to New Jersey....from Southern California

Correct Bob - I pay 1100 per month (not including utilities) for a 1 bedroom here in a nice homey close knit community. (north eastern of LA County close to the mountains)

I've never been a city girl

And if you think that NJ is expensive, try buying a house in LA County- a 2 br 1930's bungalow that needs to be knocked down will run you $500k.

Thanks, I did NOT know that. I knew LA was crowded, of course, but I thought there was more open area.

I haven't ever been out to LA, obviously. But I have seen the traffic on the freeways on the news and it looks pretty bad, and I don't think the LA area is up to date as far as public transportation goes.

Job market is not great at all, just like the rest of the country. I agree with the other folks, research it well before you decide to come. Monster is the best site for Jersey job hunting. Good luck, I hope you can make it happen!

I don't think she's an administrative assistant, I think she's in IT?

Thanks for the information though, I will keep my fingers crossed.

Good luck. It might take a while (or it might not!) but if you keep on looking you are bound to find something that works for you all around.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for

and Lucky - I'm a bookkeeper, IT (hardware and software) and admin, excel etc etc. oh and I can type 75wpm.

Any takers!?!?

Try job.com, they give you a lot more options than careerbuilder and don't charge to distribute your resume`.

[MissSinD]

thanks twista

Personally, I like careerbuilder.com

That is how I got my job in April. I work in Philadelphia though.

Good Luck!
