Long story short I have decided that going back to college and finishing is not quite as doable as I had hoped and after a long hard thought process over the last few weeks I have decided to start applying with various police departments.

Now for the advice I seek. I know there are several people in this forum who have found a very rewarding career in law enforcement. Is there any knowledge you could share with me as I enter the application process? I go in for a physical and written test with the city of Salem, OR police department in a few weeks.

Your advice will be graciously noted.

Thanks,

seeing as both my wife and i are losing our jobs here shortly, we dont really have a strong connection to southern californina (LA). so, we were considering the possibility of relocating to another part of the country. we really dont care where, but we just want a change and to get out of LA.

so, the question is; in your opinion, where are good places around the country that have computer-type technical jobs, in affordable, safe areas, and where the land isnt fully developed so you dont feel like you are in a concrete jungle? (wow... does that even exist?)

i have heard that some areas like austin, texas or seatle, washington are nice. any places in oregon or maybe other coastal states? i know i wont make the same salary moving outside of LA, but then again, the cost of living is usually less once you leave LA anyway. (if i was offered the same, however, i wouldnt pass it up :))

thanks in advance for your thought and input. ]]> EAmonkey http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/jobs-careers/60256-technical-jobs-us.html http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/jobs-careers/60100-any-cal-fire-guys.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:33:29 GMT I know there is at least one on here, anyone else?

Anyone have any advice on successful transaction, negotiation, loans, how long the process takes, etc. Any and all input is appreciated. ]]> blowham http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/jobs-careers/58634-anyone-here-business-owner.html http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/jobs-careers/58418-new-job.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:30:42 GMT I just got hired at home depot today!

I get shuttled into a room with the bureau director and assistant director. I get a "At-Risk" notice handed to me (in State employment speak that means a layoff is coming). Thank god I belong to a union that allows At-Risk employees to have first dibs at open positions around the State. Looks like I won't be a SAN Administrator anymore. I have to say I kind of saw this coming considering the financial situation within the State and the fact that I don't have enough seniority (3.5 years) to keep my job at the current agency. I actually started running down other jobs about two weeks ago with the expectation of getting one of the At-Risk notices. Hopefully I can find another State job. I have until Feb. Anyone else been through this in another State?

Sorry just venting, although I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. ]]> Snyperx http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/jobs-careers/58244-time-do-job-scramble-dance.html
