Mike330R Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My wife and I are looking to get out of CA. We are considering many places with one being Vegas. For my job all I need is an airport but my wife needs decent employment. She has applied at many places and cities and adds in her cover letter that she can be 'there' at a moments notice should they want a face to face interview. Call backs are few and far between. I'd much rather have her a career lined up before we move. Picking a city and moving before she finds one is quite risky! She applied for a couple Nevada state positions and even took the basic state fiscal exam (in Vegas) and passed. She is currently in the pharmaceutical industry as a manager/shipping & receiving/logistics/import export compliance/3 PL Management (3rd party logistics management)/supply chain. She is looking at pretty much any industry that could use her skills. Any leads or 'ins' would be much appreciated. I can e-mail a resume to anyone that may be able to pass it along to your manager etc etc. Not looking at just Vegas, but also Reno area, Idaho, and Arizona. I figure once we move we'd rent a place for a while until we figure out a place we'd like to buy. Current real estate advice is also appreciated. Thanks, Mike P.S. She has a southern accent which should help jk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have 2 good leads, but it seems to be all about who you know. I've applied for a lot of state/gov. jobs, but I've been advised that they are only looking for vets right now...politics :dunno:On the applications, they all ask for gender/race which seem to disqualify me Some even ask if you are a "diversity" candidate, which in the fine print means gay/lesbian....Guess I'm wrong for that too....Not sure why any of those 4 questions have any business on a preliminary application, but that just opens up a bigger can of worms. It should be best for the job. Good luck on the search, and congrats on the exodus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike330R Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you're white, straight, and a non veteran you have almost no chance at a .gov job. I went through this a couple years back. BS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas FX400 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I know Reno has a large pharma company there, Charles River Labs. Just moved back from there...love it up there. Like Vegas was 30 or so years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svengoolie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I work for Clark County Public works and have friends at the airport. I can check jobs on tuesday. Not all jobs are online. Filling out applications online is the way to go. http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/Depts/human_resources/Pages/EmploymentOpportunities.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike330R Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 The 'not online' jobs are the ones I am trying to find for her. She's exhausted every online resource we can find Pretty sure she has registered and filled out what she can on the clark county site. We even drove to vegas for her to take the initial/basic exam in person. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check the county website (only open to employees) I also have friends with the city of Henderson. It does help to know someone for gov jobs. I'll see what I can find. Do you want me to check the airport? Clark County runs that too, but it's a separate website which I have access to since I occasionally help them with projects.

Mike330R Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yes please check them all. Maybe copy/paste a list of the job titles and if anything peeks her interest you can get more info? We have found 'out siders' can't apply for internally listed positions. Can't hurt to try though if you know of a way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
