anyone know of places hiring (not for me)???
My best friend and her family are trying to move here from Oregon. They have a lot of family north of Ames and want so badly to be close to family here.....Her DH is looking hard for a job but its been challenging to do so from so far away. Does anyone know of any job openings or other suggestions to land a job quickly? He needs to make about $40k and has leadership experience and has worked in areas such as PC support (IT), call centers, payroll support (similair to ADP).
If anyone knows anyone that is looking for a reliable hard worker - he is open to just about doing any type of work.
He has applied everywhere so I think its going to take a referral or landing a job through a friend to make this move happen....Any thoughts/help is greatly appreciated.

My company, EMC Insurance is hiring right now for the Des Moines area. Here is the link to their current job openings.

If he looks at the jobs in Des Moines, he'll see there is one for a computer programmer, one for an assistant programmer/technician (computers), a compensation analyst (payroll related), and a telecommunications associate (internal phone customer service for EMC employees, not an outside call center). Most of these jobs should be around the salary level he needs. The IT jobs might even be over it depending on his qualifications. Unfortunately I don't know the supervisors who are hiring for these positions so I can't really get him in with a recommendation. I would suggest he apply online through the website and see where it goes from there.
Thank you!!!
I just noticed that a former co-worker that I'm connected to on LinkedIn posted this:
Immediate Need- 10 IT Help Desk positions! June 23rd start date! Please email or call me immediately if interested- jennyhove@technisource.com or 515-224-2211!
If he's in IT he could get in with a contracting company fairly easily. It wouldn't be guaranteed work, but he could apply for temp to hire positions, etc. if all else failed.
Modis,Tehnisource, DSM IT Staffing, etc.
Emeritus Senior Living has job openings in restaurant and food services jobs plus many other positions like driver jobs and maintenance jobs
