Where to work??

Question

I think I've asked something about this before on here...but I really need some help.

My better half was offered a position in Mt. Pleasant, TX & so he relocated and is now talking about purchasing a home for us. The problem is that I'm stuck-I've tried to find a job there & so far no luck. I haven't been able to make a trip yet so I'm not sure what's exactly in or around the area.

I'm a graphic designer...which there are probably not many opportunities for. Does anybody know of any places of business that are creative based in the area? Names of local owners that I could contact?

I've heard the area is pretty small...so they probably don't advertise positions online. (Maybe that's why I can't seem to find anything). Any ideas??

I just keep thinking this shouldn't be this hard... I'm a hard worker, dedicated, love to keep learning new skills, great w/ customer service, have a steady work history, & received my BFA in graphic design 2 years ago.

I need some connections.

If you're a graphic designer, I'd suggest you not box yourself in to just the city you live in. The web makes showing your work and networking / finding gigs possible no matter where the work is. Have you thought about starting your own business / seeking out freelance work? Speaking as a small business owner myself, I'm always on the lookout for design talent, regardless of location.
