I am thinking about moving to Raleigh, NC. is it easy to find a job in retail??

Question

currently living in Northern VA, but the prices here are soooooooo crazy, so I am thinking about getting out of here...is it easy to find a job/any job in Raleigh?

Answer 1

Yeah there's a good deal of retail work in Raleigh I'm sure.

But....if the prices here are less than Northern VA then you can expect the wages to be less also.  So keep that in mind.

Answer 2

Raliegh is great city with lots of shopping malls. The traffic isn't as bad a Northern VA. As far as I know there is no Woodrow Wilson Bridge there.

You should have no trouble getting a job in retail. You may want to contact the stores BEFORE you get there and mail a cover note a resume. Get a local RALIEGH telephone number BEFORE you go. You an do that with Grandcentral.com for free. It can be set up to transfer the cal to your current VA cell phone or home phone.

When I moved out of state (From Arlington) I used VONAGE and set up a new number and began doing business in a new state even before leaving the DC area. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I wish you luck, I had never been there.
