We love it when you have time and feel like posting, Naomi! And sorry to hear of your SIL's situation.... I was a recruiter for years, and one piece of advice I can give.. He has to think out of the box to locate a new position. I assume he/they don't want to move, so that by itself limits the opportunities. Have him find the local business newspaper (here in the NW we have Puget Sound Business Journal).... He won't find a job listing there, BUT he will find what local business is doing...who is leaving town, who is closing forever, and what companies might be adding to space in the RE section. Those are companies he might want to know about. Also, in the WSJ or other such papers, a company may be hiring a Research Engineer, BUT if that's the case, maybe they will be hiring other folks as well...There are lots of ways to think about jobs that aren't the normal way of looking at the situation. One of our sons lives in the Dallas area, and has mentioned how cold it is there...even snow for a while a couple of weeks ago. We're used to it here, and the damp chill as a normal situation, but folks used to the warm climes just get chilled through here. But then again, I've always felt we could add clothes, but it is hard to subtract clothes more than modesty would allow for the warmer climates.
