I'll take a help desk or PC/network support job here before I'll move. (FWIW, I've turned down several potential positions in DC, FL, PA, etc., because they aren't local, as well as a fairly good shot at a position at United Airlines in Chicago. I have a house, friends, family, and a fiancee here that I don't wish to leave, and things aren't that tight yet.) -Rich Steiner (OS/2 and Linux user in Eden Prairie, MN) The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then.

They do have some IT staff, but I'm not sure how much is at each facility. Some of their engineers are excellent. Tony

From first glance at their site, they have various positions in Eden Prairie (where I am now), Bloomington (next suburb to the east of me), and Shakopee (next suburb to the south of me). Seems like optimal placement geographically. :-) -Rich Steiner (OS/2 and Linux user in Eden Prairie, MN) The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then.
Post #48,290 by gdaustin 8/5/02 10:27:56 PM Reply	Might try ING or Wells Fargo I think they both have data centers in the Twin Cities. Now a question. Are Minneapolis and St. Paul really twins? Probably about as much as Dallas and Ft. Worth. :^) Glen Austin
Post #48,301 by rsteiner 8/6/02 1:18:33 AM Reply	Not really... Minneapolis is a more worldly artsy "big city" town, and St. Paul is a more laid back town. Neither one is very big, though. The Twin Cities metro area has almost 3 million people living in it now, but Minneapolis proper is less than 400,000, and St. Paul is less than 300,000. Suburbia reigns here. :-) We have a lot of data centers here, and two years ago the tech marketplace here was quite good from a technology job seekers perspective. Unfortunately, a lot of the larger employers around here like 3M, Unisys, NWA, Siemens, Qwest, etc., have been laying off, and many others are locked tight until the storm passes. -Rich Steiner (OS/2 and Linux user in Eden Prairie, MN) The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then.
