Americans Who Need Jobs Aren’t Going Where the Jobs Are

[konceptjones]

I mean I'm planning on it now to move out, but just up and leaving is idiotic to me. WHERE? Is there an opportunity there? Will I be able to land a position around the area as soon as I get there?

I'm looking to move as close to the major city as possible, from NJ I'm not packing my bags throwing myself at jobs in Florida like that. There's a huge IT market in Texas and California, am I just throwing myself over there in hopes someone would give me a job, fuck no. The remote job industry is bridging the gap..now that's a plan because you are starting to build momentum not only in that job but into wherever you want to move.

If you're single, you find a job and move there. A lot of positions have relocation assistance because they're having an hard time finding local candidates. Check Phoenix, Las Vegas, Orange County in SoCal in the southwest if you don't mind the heat, otherwise Texas has a huge need for IT workers. I get hit up all the time for jobs in Dallas and Houston. Matter of fact, if you have any Linux skills I just got hit with a req yesterday for a job at DFW airport.

This is what vo-tech and job corp is for ....these companies need to recruit young workers in school or training for a trade. Offer tuition reimbursement or affordable housing...people that are just starting out in life are more likely to be open to these opportunities...

I'll PM you my info. Now in response to this, let me ask you: are you applying through recruiters (outsource recruiters) or talking with actual people that work there?

All recruiters.

One thing about recruiters I've learned over the years: Try to avoid Indian recruiters 'cause for the most part they're full of shit and only trying to push other Indians into whatever jobs they have. As soon as they find out you're not on an H1B or a resident alien you ain't gettn' calls back from 'em. In nearly 20 years of IT work I've only been able to land ONE job from an Indian company and that's 'cause they were having a tough time finding a specific skillset. They really didn't have much of a choice but to pull me in on that project.

And that's why I'm still here. The only opportunity emails or calls I've been getting were from these Indian recruiters.
