Maybe Kurt should have classifieds. What are you looking for?

Oh, I was just wanting to look for employment in that area. Just wanted to see what was available. I bought a subscription to the Walton Sun online edition. Thanks for your help.

What did that cost you?

You can view the classifieds from the Walton Sun online for free -- I think.

Re: Classifieds in South Walton

It was $13.00 for 26 weeks, or you could subscribe for $25.00 for 52 weeks. It seemed reasonable to me.

I tried to look at them for free and couldn't. I had to subscribe to be able to view them, unless you know of another way. I paid $13.00 for 26 weeks. You can also pay $25.00 for 52 weeks.

Re: Classifieds in South Walton

I tend to be my husband's job scout.
I haven't had the greatest luck with emeraldcoast.com.
It might just be the wording or something, but it comes up with a big fat zero every time.
I'll find jobs in my husband's field through the Walton Sun classifeds, or flipdog.com, or yahoo, and these same jobs never show up on emeraldcoast.com.
I was just looking at the Walton Sun's classifieds just now and they were free for me. And they turned up a job which emeraldcoast did not show.
I also look at the classifieds for the Port St Joe Star, but they are not all that up to date.
I dunno. Sometimes I think word of mouth is best.
But it would be cool if you had Classifieds, Kurt.

No doubt the best jobs are gotten by knowing someone, or hearing about it through the grapevine. I bet some good jobs will be found/filled on this board.

Re: Classifieds in South Walton

Federal government jobs- the GS jobs on area bases tend to pay relatively well for the area

State government jobs-

Area defense contractors-

http://www.baywalk2.com/defense_contractors.html

Lots of job postings in those place that never show up on the local newspaper sites.

The Walton Sun's employment ads are free of charge, and they link you to emeraldcoastjobs.com.

Go to Waltonsun.com

Bam! you're in.

***and they link you to emeraldcoastjobs.com.***
I thought this was the case, you could see it in the headers, which made it even more confusing when some jobs would show up in the Sun and others wouldn't at Emeraldcoast.
Well, I will just keep looking.
Looking for a new job in your 50's is a bit different, but you just never know.
Thanks guys, and I hope Kathy doesn't mind me butting into her thread.

Maybe you should tell us what kind of job you are looking for.

Of course I don't mind. Good luck with your job search !!!!! Oh, and of course I wish I would have waited before I spent $13.00 for an online subscription. Oh Well..live and learn !!!!!

I know you were probably directing this to Cil...but I thought I would tell you what I was looking for also. I am a Desktop Publisher. I have been employeed as a contractor with the U.S Army Corps of Engineers for 18 years. I produce training manuals for the Corps using all the Microsoft Office products, Adobe Photoshop, PageMaker, and CorelDraw. I have been a contractor for 22 years. I would love to get away from the Army and work for a commercial company. Actually, I would do any job if it paid me enough to live in South Walton !!!!! Thanks for any help.

Have a Sunny Beach Day.

Apparently when you cross the State line, they issue you a real estate license, so you could try that for awhile.

Seriously though, with those skills you could get a job as a real estate assistant or office manager for realtor, builder, etc. There are always openings for office work.

And I did see alot of those jobs advertised. I am thinking seriously of sending my resume' to a few of them. Thank you Kurt. Like my Avatar? I took this picture last year when we were down for our annual visit !!! I keep it as my desktop so I can dream I am in this hammock !!!!

That's awesome. It reminds me of a bar at the tip of Cozumel where you lie in a hammock listening to reggae, served Coronas by beauties.

Well, I haven't been to Cozumel..and I haven't been served Coronas by beauties, however, I did drink several Coronas laying in this hammock, served by me....Oh, well at least I was served by one beauty.

Maybe you should tell us what kind of job you are looking for.

Thanks Kathy, for sharing!
Kurt, it's kinda tricky. Husband has been a landscape architect here in Colorado for half his life. He does mostly large scale, commercial stuff: housing developments and the like, although he has done plenty of residential as well. He does signage, saves trees, designs where roads and things like that go. He could be considered a planner as well, and has sat on architectural review committees.
He had spoken with several of the Arvida/St Joe guys but nothing panned out.
That was almost two years ago, before our younger son entered high school.
(Older kid is out of the house.) Now our younger son is settled in high school and in no big hurry to leave. Meanwhile, husband is extremely busy here, so is not exactly surfing the classifieds. So that leaves me to look. (I'm always dreaming.)
I get the feeling that we will not make any kind of move until the younger son is out of high school. However, if the right job came along, it might be a different story.
As for me, I teach preschool and could probably find something to keep me out of trouble no matter where I am.
Kathy, I think your skills are very marketable and you could find the right job with little or no problem.

Certainly a lot of development here he could probably plan for, but that stuff is over my head. I guess you would have to get in with the right people/developers.
