We are thinking about relocating to Phoenix, AZ from San Diego, CA...?

Question

I have no idea where to start....
Our plan is to move and get an apartment and then start looking for houses... but we would like to get jobs before we move... Does anyone know how to do this??

We know how to go about getting the apartment... The real question is... How can we find jobs before we move?

Answer 1

Love SD
But live and loving Phx

as for jobs

Intel , Honeywell, Usairways, ASU, Boeing, GoDaddy, Monster, get the AZ REPUBLIC, or post your resume on monster or carrer buiilders

move to TEMPE GILBERT CHANDLER OR SCOTTSDALE!

Answer 2

just relocated to socal from Phoenix a few months ago.... best thing I ever did.

You will find a job doing something. Make sure you put $$ down on an apartment first. You will have to fly out first, rent a car and start looking at places.

for jobs it really depends on what you do. If your current employer does not have workstations there or wont transfer you, you may want to save enough $$ to live on for a couple of months. If you dont want to wait, you could get a job waiting tables so at least you have some money coming in while you are interviewing. Otherwise, send your resumes to potential employers (go to websites of local newspapers... there are want ad sections) set up the interviews within the same time frame,and make a trip out here to interview, find an apartment etc.

It is expensive to move out here but the opportunities out here compared to a place like Phoenix will more than make up for it in the long run

Answer 3

I would like to move to scottsdale from chicago.
However there really are no hi-tech jobs in AZ.
they have lots of service jobs.
Working at hotels, restaurants, etc....
Southwest is there.
The only really hi-tech is godaddy.
You also might find some work at Univ of Az. Huge school.

I love the fact that the weather is great. but you also have great weather in SD.

Also there is no traffic in AZ.
However being from san diego, your traffic is also nothing compared to chicago traffic. so that is not as big a deal as for us chicagoans.

Answer 4

I say "yes" move out of cali regardless because the whole state will be submerged in water one of these days. When? No one really knows the answer to that, as to when. Its a true fact that cali is slowly becoming less of a state because the fault line is indeed breaking more and more everyday. Once that fault line breaks all of cali will be under water. That alone sounds creepy and would be perfect reason to move anywhere but there. Best of luck with moving and your search for employment. GB!!

Start looking for jobs while your in San Diego and schedule interviews close together. Visit Arizona until you get jobs. All states newspapers is at the downtown library. Go to monster.com for jobs etc....

Good Luck
