Would you be willing to relocate?

Hi-

The company (Fortune 500) I'm working for might have something, but We're in Milwaukee. If you're ok with relocating, PM me and We can talk.

Bump for the week..

If Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is a possible relocation option, then take a look at Rockwell Collins. They're looking for a bunch of EE types. PM me if interested.

You may have already looked into it, but I'll throw this out there anyway -- have you checked into Johnson Controls in Holland? I know there have been lots of layoffs here over the last few years, but our electronics department is doing really well and has actually been hiring from what I've heard. We do instrument clusters and HomeLink stuff.

Thanks for the tips.. PM's Sent..
Cedar Rapids at this point is not out of the question, but not high on the list. I'll PM you when we reach that point.

Thanks

Bump for the week.. Lots of ideas off of Monster, Dice, Careerbuilder, and CareerMatrix..
Anybody know of any others?

Bryan42 · May 16, 2006

I'm surprised at how many jobs there are that aren't listed with any of the major job sites like Dice and Monster. Maybe 50% of the jobs in my area (Des Moines, Iowa) seem to be only on their company web site. So, the task to find those is to make a list of all the companies in your area, find their web site and career section, and check it regularly. If anyone has a better way to find these, please let us all know.

HFSH · May 17, 2006

Are you an electrical engineer perhaps?

I work for a big EE firm.

TDI_ED · May 17, 2006

Perhaps you could try Fedex Indianapolis. Lots of expansion and a big operation.

Help with a job

I sent you an e-mail, check out the web page I mentioned, or call me.

ARBY · May 24, 2006

new2diesel · Jul 6, 2006

Bump..
I'm still looking and could use some more ideas.
Anybody?

Looking mostly in the Grand Rapids, MI, Indianapolis, and West/NW Chicago Burbs.. Anybody know of any engineering companies in those areas? Please post or PM or e-mail the website..

I work in Cedar Rapids as a EE. At a well known company there. Which is expanding like mad lately.

I'm from Chicago originally: Iowa isn't really that bad. I like making a good living and owning 36 acres at the same time. Not to many places you can do that anymore.

You can also PM me if Iowa isn't out of the question. Good Luck with the search. It'd be nice to have some more TDIclubbers out here. There are an unusually large amount of TDIs (and VWs, IMHO, in general) in Iowa. I think TDI's attract engineers like flys.. Not too many around here admit being active on the TDIclub, tho.

I am now expanding my search. If it''s a good Job with a solid company, I'm an definitely looking.

As a heads up, there's an EE job in the Traverse City Record-Eagle want ads. It should be viewable online at record-eagle.com
Good luck!

new2diesel · Jul 30, 2006

Thanks for the leads. I will definitely look into them.

new2diesel · Aug 15, 2006

Thanks for all those who tried to help..
I have a tentative offer on the table and I am just waiting for the paper work to be finished.

Thanks again to all!

Congratulations! My previous MI job was a 62 mile round trip - new job is 52 mile round trip so I'm familiar with your commuting distance.

Fuel-Saver Tip: Keep your speed below 65 mph for better economy.

new2diesel · Aug 18, 2006

I have recently figured that out.
With my previous commute of 28 miles round trip, I tried driving for an entire tank @ 65 or below. Even with the contruction, 2 sections going both ways, I was able to get 628 out of a tank. I'm looking to try and get 700 out of a tank when I start at the new place. I just hope I don't get run over in the process. Good thing that our start time is 7:00 am. I'll miss the morning traffic, but it will stink going home.

FredIA · Aug 18, 2006

I'm really glad to hear you got a job (somewhat) local to you.

The market looks quite slow lately despite growth in the economy. Good job and I hope you enjoy the work.

Fred

Mark of Diesel · Aug 19, 2006

Woo Hoo! Way to go Will! 50 mile round trip is also what Fair Wifey will be having with the '06 Jetta. I'm also hoping to get the 700+ mile tanks with the PD and ULSD, we'll see but the fact that the route is all 55 MPH or less will help. Good luck, see ya on the 9th.

Ya, this is good news Will!
