Moving to Nashville - Work advice?
Anyone out there who can give some advice on who is hiring in the Nashville,Tn area now? Or what kind of job resources there are for employment? I have been doing the online searches like monster, craigslist, etc. but would like to find hidden resources, any advice I would greatly appreciate. Also, Knoxville, Tn if you happen to know of any good resources or jobs. Although the market in Knoxville is really bad right now, so seriously thinking of making the move to Nashville. Only thing stopping me is finding somewhere to stay while I look, with no money. Thanks, all I want to do is find work and earn a steady, dependable paycheck. It shouldn't be this hard.

Answer 1 :
Unfortunately, with a 10 percent unemployment rate here, finding a job will depend on what you do. I would not move here without a job in hand, especially since you have no money to live on. Check the online classified at www.tennessean.com which is the Nashville newspaper. You can do the same in Knoxville. I don't know the website, but just Google "Knoxville newpaper" and it will come up.
Answer 2 :
I have to agree with Patricia on this, so much is going to depend on what you do. For instance, it looks like healthcare is hiring in this area. If you have skills in that field you'd probably find work here, again depending on what you do. But if you can avoid it don't relocate with out a job offer or at least enough money to get you by for 6 to 8 months.

Answer 1 :
ah... my daughter works in convention billing at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. During your free time, yu might like to take a tour of President Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage. The price includes an intro movie, a guided tour through the mansion and a self-guided tour through the gardens, the cemetery, the grounds, including slave quarters, the church he built for his wife Rachel and the Tulip Grove, the home of his adopted son. You might also enjoy going to downtown Nashville where you can go on a 2 mile walk (starting on 1st Ave. at Fort Nashboro and following the lines painted on the sidewalks) which will take you past many historic and interesting sights in a short period of time. You'll see Printers Alley and Broadway with all the honky tonks, the Ryman Auditorium, the Capitol Building, 2nd Avenue with the famous Wildhorse Saloon, and more. Very nearby is the Country Music Hall of Fame. Centennial Park is down the road about 2 miles and there is a full scale repkica of the Greek Parthenon including the 40' tall golden Athena! It's a museum now and very inexpensive. There are many, many more historic civil war era mansions and plantations to tour if you like those (I do!)- Belle Meade, Carnton, Belmont, Travellors Rest, Carter House and Cheekwood which is especially beautiful and is now Nashville's Home of Gardens and Arts. If you would like any more info. feel free to email me through YA. Have a great time here.

Traveling from Clarksville to Nashville for work?
I would like to know if there is anyone "out there" who travels to from Clarksville, TN to Nashville, TN for work. I am moving to Clarksville soon and almost all of the better job opportunities are in Nashville. I've done the math based on the cost of gas, hourly pay, highway miles my car gets but I am just wondering if its worth it?!

Answer 1 :
Are you currently in Nashville or are you planning on moving there? Nashville is a great place to move... however, as I've explained to my parents certain areas of the country attract certain kind of businesses: The west coast is entertainment based. I'm from Cincinnati, which is marketing, manufacturing, branding and packaging. Nashville's industry is music. Recording. Artist relations. Scouting. The New England region is heavy into technology and healthcare. Just as Florida is inundated with Medicare scam artists and identity thieves. Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, are heavy into politics... consulting firms, lobbyists, LAW. The jobs in THESE areas are 'career-path' jobs. What you're looking for is something 'entry-level'. These would be: - Insurance Adjustor - Telephone sales - the customer service rep at your local cable/internet company - graphic designer - an 'account executive' position (don't believe the hype when one of your friends says they're an account executive, they don't have THAT much responsibility) - and ANY position that end with 'PROGRAM'... the entire job is a primer for something bigger and better. Its always best to have a job prior to moving someplace. On average it takes 3 months to find steady, and suitable employment that you enjoy. I would start by talking to people there. Get on Face book and search for people from Nashville, find out who their friends are, discover who the top employers in that area are. Your peers are most likely going to have entry-level jobs just as yourself. Use them to network. More often than not they'll be able to help you secure an interview in a different and more unconventional way... (e.g. Maybe they're going out for beers with their supervisor on a Thursday night, and you happen to meet up with them, introduce yourself to the person and just let them know you're in the market for employment... they're in management positions for a reason. OR your contact is able to give you the name of somebody in human resources who you can call just to say "Hi, ______ [insert name] I was just on the phone with Joe Blow up in whatever dept., he was telling me about working at the company and what a great atmosphere it has. I'm checking out the website right now, what was his job title? I'd love to submit my application." Follow it up with something to keep the conversation going and indicate your interest and capability to work." If you make your name known it WILL circulate. Sales people, ops. managers, recruiters, the receptionist, the cleaning staff, the girls in accounting, even the president or COO will eventually hear that Mr. Smith is 'a candidate for employment' or 'would be a great addition to our team'... even if you haven't submitted a resume or gone on a formal interview. Websites like CareerBuilder and Monster.com don't really work for a couple of reasons. They harbor companies that thrive on turnover. Extremely entry level positions or jobs that only require training from a technical school. Hardly any of the jobs they offer will be 'career-path' jobs. This is to say they'll teach you a little bit about an industry, but they won't offer a lot in the way of professional mobility within that company. Networking is most important for finding a job. This is why politicians are never out of work... because they know everyone and somebody they KNOW will always give them a job. But you should also: - Look through the local paper, pay attention to the companies who's name is on the headlines or featured in the business section (not the classified job ads). - Use your college career center... they'll always help out an alumnus, even if you approach them for some help 'polishing up your resume' - Talk to bartenders JUST BEFORE happy hour. [3:15-4:30] They hear everything. And they'll love to talk... just be blunt "Hey where do most of the people who come in here work? I'm looking for a job." (Bartenders work different shifts, if you talk to the guy closing on a Tuesday night he may not know his ass from his elbow.) - Drive around during rush hour. Check out the exits that are packed bumper to bumper during the morning, and then take the exit at a more appropriate time. Chances are there's a business park somewhere around the area. Visit it and just pay attention to the company names listed on parking lot directories. - Go to Chipotle or Applebee's for lunch, find the fishbowl they use for the business card raffle. (And they ALL have the fishbowl). Dunk your hand in and swipe a few at random. If anyone says anything, just say "Hey, these aren't breath mints!" Look to see what companies each are from. These things are kind of unconventional. But it goes along with the territory, and they're tactics that anyone who's assertive and knowledgeable about an area use. As always, confidence, a willingness to succeed, looking the part, and likeability will land you the job... you don't need to know jack sh*t about the industry, that’s what job training is for. By the way, I typed ALL of that at work.
