Work pops up in the strangest of places

Who knew that my little corner of the world would be near the top of the list in the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey and, sure you could go there and read the dry report, but I have to admit Resumark did a great job of highlighting some of the important stuff with their blog post The Best and the Worst U.S. Cities for Jobs in 2010. Interestingly enough, U-haul also recently put Vermont as number two on it's list too: U-Haul tracking data suggests more families migrating to Kentucky, Vermont than other states.

I guess things sometimes aren't where you expect them to be. Sometimes jobs are.

* Chamber of Commerce mixers
* Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, etc.
* Trade and professional association meetings
* Lectures, workshops, conferences, and fundraisers
* Social, cultural, and sporting events esp. if they have receptions
* Private gatherings organized on Meetup, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
* Job clubs, networking groups and others - often found on your local Craigslist

Happy Hunting!
