The economy here in Michigan is really, really bad...people being laid off and the job market sucks.

I'm considering looking for work out of state...any suggestions? Is the economy booming where you are?

I'm looking for a pool girl.
I don't actually own a pool though.

nyc is FABOO... just saying

Does this mean you'd help me find a job?

cborgman said:

How is the job market? And isn't the standard of living just insane there?

applekisses said:

Yeah, I guess.
But like your boss, I'm not sure what you do all day

Imago said:

My boss knows!

Corporate Communications Officer
(none of your beeswax) Healthcare System

applekisses said:

oh. That's better. I wasn't sure what your skills were outside of what I get secondhand from JerseyKRS.

I can check job-connect at my company and send you a link.

My company is everywhere. So you pretty much have your pick except the west coast, and we're going to be buying one of those companies soon too I think.

Imago said:

YAY! Thank you!

(and Jersey hasn't been privy my skillz!!)

Hi applekisses. Girl, don't move to Cleveland, Ohio, it's the same thing here. Before I got this job, I was SERIOUSLY thinking of moving down south. People tell me the economy is great there, and there are jobs galore. Not sure if you're open to moving south, but that was a suggestion I thought I would throw out there.

Thanks for letting me know! I don't want to move...but, if need to I will.

Well i message you last time about here but got no response. So you must be part of the org haters. But luckily I am a nice person, Minneapolis here have a lot of positions here and fortune 500 companies. Despite what most of these clowns on here say about me, I am in the corporate field here and i work around a lot of companies that are hiring now like American Express, TCF, and wells fargo. And no, no one on here is trying to impress. i just trying to help cause i know detroit is a rotten city to be in. Been there a lot and hated each time except when i went to casino there!

saintsation said:

I'm not hating anyone...and thanks for the suggestion

applekisses said:

very good.

and yes, but it depends on where in the city you live. manhattan - very insane
other 4 boroughs - not nearly as bad. we pay 1400 for a 2 bedroom minutes from manhattan on the train

cborgman said:

I pay $800 for a two-bedroom

Come to Mpls, apples!

You'd have a ready-made group of friends.

PS - Look for jobs at my company here:

that seems high for not ny.

dunno thoguh, ny has screwed up my sense of pricing.

the cool part is it is all relative. apartments are expensive, but unless you live outside of nyc, there is no reason to have a car, and that's pretty much the rest of the apartment money right there.

applekisses said:

Sorry i am just mad about this meeting i jus had wit hall the censor bullshit, but anyway, if you have customer service skills you can get on wit ha company here in Minneapolis in a heartbeat. They jus pen a 311 center here starting pay 16 an hour i think. i don't know. Even city buses are hiring drivers. Orgnote me if u want and i can give you info over the next few days about it. !!

CarrieMpls said:

I'm gonna! Thanks, bunny!

saintsation said:

I will! Thanks!

cborgman said:

Detroit has a pretty high standard of living...folks have made lots of $$ off of the auto industry here (until recent years).

plus we could hang out...

applekisses said:

PPS - I'll refer you, too. Let me know if you wanna submit a resume and I'll get your referral in. I think I get a pretty big bonus if I get a referral hired, and I'd totally split it with you.

applekisses said:

I found one!

applekisses said:

Lemme see what info I need from you to refer you... orgnote!!

applekisses said:

that was fast!

cborgman said:

I know!!!
