Hi Folks,

I have accepted a Manufacturing Operations Manager position with a company in Forest Grove, Oregon, (Portland area) and will therefore soon be relocating there with my family. I will be leaving June 14th and will only return once or twice to sell the house, etc. and then deal with the movers and get the family, dog, & cat on a plane to Oregon.

Congratulations on the job. Finding gainful employment around here can be a real challenge. I am still looking, and really thinking about looking outside the state. Since I have started looking, I have had only a handful of interviews, and ended up having to take a "no experience required" night time temp job just to pay the bills. I don't know how things are up in Phoenix, but down here, there just doesn't seem to be that many positions, and lots of people wanting them.
