Contact your State
Employment Agency (Workforce Investment Network Center)at your current location
to see what resources they have for jobs in the Gulf Coast Area. Review postings
on job boards such as CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com to get a feel for the
types of jobs available. For reference, Mobile, AL, is within an
hour's drive and some people work there. Hattiesburg is about 2 hours
away, which may be too far.
