Marquette - where to look for jobs

Mindelei (207.69.139.156) -

My husband and I are moving to Marquette in about 3-6 months. He'll be continuing his education at NMU.

I've had a heck of a time trying to find online searches for jobs and other things up that way. Any suggestions? My background is in Immigration (outbound) plus clerical/customer service and his is Chemisty. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey, i just moved away from there because there are no jobs... but..if you look up the newspaper www.miningjournal.net you can find the classifieds through hot-ads.com and there are open jobs there. Also, NMU has a great job center website... Good luck, if you find me one too that would be cool...

Hey, I moved away from the U.P. because there are really no jobs up there. I want to move back up there to be around my relatives and I have a baby on the way so I'm looking for a good job I have alot of experience in factory work and being a supervisor. So if you could find me a good job it would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

If you'uns don't have a position lined up already before you arive, you must plan on spending at least 6 months in da U.P. before you can even begin to find a job. It's a bit like Alaska vis-a-vis the employment situation.

I am currently a Director of Nursing with BSN, AASN and in grad school. Our plan is to move to the U.P. in the next several years. I will be looking for Nursing management position, full or part time. We are currently building a home in Alger county.

What I need is potential prospects, as I am unfamiliar with the total area.

Thank You!

Try going on to Michigan Works. They have a talent bank that posts job openings and you can search for those within different mile radius from where you will be in the UP. This is a very helpful resource and so are the people that work there.
