Musing on a job prospect

[herveus]

A friend mentioned that I should look at the company her husband works for. I spoke with a recruiter who asked me how I felt about Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I didn't say "hell no!". My wife has not said "hell no!".

Who do I know in or around there? What would recommend the locale to me?

Good: the people are awesome, at least, I think so. The shire of Deodar has a lot of neat people that really make the SCA fun.

Bad: finding a job, if you didn't have one previously, once settled there, can be difficult. It is a small town in that aspect. Of course, this information is coming to me from a friend who did not have a degree completed, either. It may be easier to find a job for those with more experience.

If we move there, it will be because I have a job in hand. A potential position is what is motivating this query. I want to exercise some due diligence before I actively pursue the job.

Understandable. From what I can tell, though, it is a good community, both in and out of the SCA.
