What do you do for work in NC or SC?

Hey guys. Thinking of moving from California to South Carolina. Looking at Inman. But curious what people do there for work.

 

Safety manager

 

@pahaf That is a pretty broad question. I recently traveled to SF and LA twice for work. While it is different, I don't think what people do for a living is that different.

I live in Charlotte and jobs range from software engineering and business jobs to all sorts of blue-collar work.

Why Inman?

 

I’m trying to find a job that will pay about $20 for start. Just to cover expenses in the beginning.

Inman because we have friends there but they are truck drivers and I don’t really want to do that.

 

I would look in that are for manufacturing jobs. I have known several people starting between $15 and $25 an hour here. Depending on what your experience level is.

 

I am in Charlotte too. I just quit/semi retired from auto claims adjuster. I know auto claims is a huge field to get into if you have automotive and college background. Otherwise I always hear everyone is hiring, but I am not looking for a job myself right now. Body shops in Charlotte are always hiring as well.

 

HVAC

 

Nice. That is something I want to get into. Does your company do Apprenticeship?

 

Not much in Inman thats for sure.
Not to far from greenville.
I think BMW is hiring temps at $18hr.
G.E. hires temps at $15hr.
There Bosch, Michelin, and a few other large manufacturers.

 

I'm a recruiter in the financial industry. Shoot me your contact info in a PM if you'd like.

 

I wish I had gotten into it earlier, after high school I went into the military.

Our company doesn’t have an “Apprenticeship” , however they will train you and set you up for success as will most companies.

I started out about 6 years ago working in the warehouse, and in about 6 months worked my way to a service tech and was out on my own.

They provide training and classes and such.

I’m not near Inman , but located in Hilton Head and a lot of companies are hiring down here.

 

I live in Lyman which is right around the corner from Inman. There are a wide range of industries in Greenville & Spartanburg. I work in eCommerce

 

Thanks guys. I’m liking the input. Makes me more confident moving there. I work in the medical field here in Cali, inventory specialist. But seems that doesn’t pay as well on the east coast so I’m looking at new options

 

Gov. Job. Natural Rescources.

 

Assuming you are a little younger, I would look into trades like Commercial HVAC or Electrical. I expect to see serious labor shortages in those areas in the coming years.

 

I do engineering for a brake manufacturer.

Plenty of jobs around you could find paying that. Definitely look into manufacturing jobs, assembly etc. BMW is a popular employer in that area.

Edit : Have you ever visited the Carolinas? It’s a totally different world than Cali…

 

I'm 20ish outside Asheville, NC and play infosec at an exec level.

 

I'm in Asheville and I make beer (as so many do around here).

 

looking in the Charlotte area for a job and have some good leads on jobs at the moment from head hunters in the area. $20 should not be hard to come by....Had a few zoom interviews but the timing is off as I wont be there till mid Oct.....

 

That will be a good start. Care to share any of these leads?
