Relocating to Houston?

Let's talk about the job market in Houston. We are the 4th largest city in the world, with the lowest cost of living and the best weather 9 months out of the year. No state taxes (property owners make up for that with property taxes), makes our state and Houston, one of the fastest growing cities in the country--in fact, League City, Texas (a suburb of Houston) is said to be the fastest growing city in the country. We have Nasa, near League City, the ocean (albeit Galveston is not the most beautiful), the ever-changing and highly profitable oil gas/energy industry. This is our focus, people know Houston by the traditional oil gas--80's style upstream/land admin/royalty, perspective. It is so much more than that. We have leading corporations for new energy, ngl, refining, offshore production, etc. Every type of position you can possibly imagine exists within these companies. Many are smaller, yet growing exponentially. Houston is busting at the seams, I don't think it's so bad after-all...--and the humidity is only for about 6 weeks during the summer, even more manageable with a boating hobby...

Waiting for the 1st to make your move?

I hear this from 9 out of 10 people we talk with these days. When considering a career move, if they take an interview or test the market-- they are smart cookies. They know the competition is waiting, and they'll likely find an ideal opportunity by being proactive. Some people we talk with want to wait for their bonus. Yes, they worked all year for it, and they should. But not pursuing something that has interested them is idiotic. Bonus time is a way for companies to reward you for your hard work......and try to keep you happy.
