Seattle CareersI am knowledgeable about Seattle careers because I ran a Seattle career coaching and consulting company for 10 years. Seattle will always be one of my favorite cities. The Seattle area is characterized by rainy drizzle, gorgeous scenery, and plentiful coffee. There are six Seattle companies named in Fortune Magazine's "Best Companies To Work For" list for 2010. They are:
Public Market, Seattle, WA, USA From my experience, it isn't easy to move to Seattle and land a job without Seattle connections unless you have a terrific track record to beat out significant competition. Seattle is a city that values Seattle-based work experience and education. For this reason, many people move there and are underemployed while they build up their resumes and meet the locals. Difficult as this strategy may be, it works. A great resource to find out what is going on in Seattle is ILoveSeattle.org. Seattle is also a city where almost everyone is Internet savvy and a lot of networking takes place online. If you don't live in Seattle and you wish to move there, one way to do so is to become an industry insider by joining online professional organizations and becoming known to the insiders who know where the job openings are. If you are interested in moving to the Puget Sound or you are already there and exploring your employment options, here are some VocationVillage.com pages that might be helpful to you:
