What is the best or most popular way to search and find jobs in a different state. Possibly running into this scenario in the coming months. If we do move I would consider a career change

Depends on the field you're looking to get into and the job market in that area. Most of the time online sites would suffice, but a recruiter might be needed if the market is flooded.

NOTE: If you use a recruiter they will call you forever offering you jobs.

Ride around DFW with your windows rolled down and people will throw job offers into your car.

exactly. was going to say, it all depends on the market. If you plan on moving to an average/below average job market then i would hire a recruiter and not move until i had something firm. If its something hot like DFW/Houston/Austin, then you can find something very quick

In all seriousness, is the job market (specifically, white collar job market) that good in the DFW area?

I am not up on right now because I don't need one but 2 years ago my compnay went belly up due to being corrupt at the top, then I didn't like the job I got after thet, ending up starting a job search completely from scratch unexpectedly, found one within 3 months twice.

I like what I got now so I haven't been watching closely but builders are still throwing up a lot of houses that somebody is buying.

Indeed. Or find out what companies are there and look at their sites...which is a great way to gain some information on the company itself and will come in handy during an interview.

Yes. Plano was just named yesterday as the second best job market in the US

There is an area in north Plano/Frisco that's building the new Toyota Headquarters, Liberty Mutual, FeEx, and others. Said over 15,000 people will be working in that one mile stretch within two years that are currently not there. Many of those will come from within the company, but I know Toyota is hiring hundreds.

I like Plano a lot even though it is your typical suburbia. I also like Richardson.

Well really, I would be happy to live and work anywhere along Central.

Dallas just isn't the best place to live for an outdoor enthusiast. I love to hike.

I could take a picture of the DNT - SRT interchange and show you 4 or 5 YUGE sites being constructed (Toyo, etc..)

I have a very good feeling that part of town will rival Uptown in 10 years easily.

Flying back into town yesterday you could literally see all the subdivisions sprouting up.

The only thing that sucks is the fricking housing market going super sayien.

Then do Austin instead of Dallas. Way more outdoor things to do. Hill country is right around the corner.

This is so true. I have worked in DNT/SRT area for 10 years now, the growth is beyond amazing. The amount of companies moving in is staggering and I think it will eclipse Uptown and Las Colinas eventually.

Toyota was a huge get, but with the Cowboys complex going in it was solidified.

121 (SRT) opened up East/West commutes and NTTA is going to punch the DNT North more. That is going to open up Celina, Gunter and rural Grayson County. Many fancy homes will be built that way.

North Texas is not pretty, but we got the jobs.

if you are in the military every time you move it is because you already have a job. Join the military.
