My fiance and I have been doing the long distance relationship for a year and looks like I'm the one that has to move. She currently goes to med school at wayne st with once year left. She lives and goes to school in the midtown area.
I was wondering....Are there any websites of jobs just in the midtown/downtown detroit area? If not...what great companies are in the area for a 2008 polly sci/business admin grad?
Thanks Alot in advance.
Bjones,
Welcome to Detroit. I am linking a couple of large employers in the Midtown area for you to check out:
Herny Ford Health Sysems:
http://www.henryford.com/home_careers.cfm?id=49647
Wayne State University: https://jobs.wayne.edu/applicants/js...elcome_css.jsp
Detroit Medical Center:
http://www.dmc.org/Careers/
These are three large employers in the area. If you give us mroe info on what you are interested in, we might be able to steer you a little better.
Hi Bjones,
I'm an upstate New York man myself, lived in Albany as a small child then the 'rents bought up the Northway a few miles. Shen grad. You've come to the right place for help; best of luck.

There are a lot of firms Downtown, the economy's not great but you're at least moving into an exciting area.
Hahaha. I love the answers. I wish you guys were this nice to the Swede who wanted to transfer for work down here a couple weeks ago.
Enjoy the D.
http://www.mitalent.org/ Try this site. New from the state so I'm not sure how good it is, but it may be of help. Enjoy the D!
Remember:
Drive a stick-shift.
Leave nothing visible in the car.
No shopping bags or anything.
Set any alarms to not be set off by loud noises.

It CAN be helpful, but the best way to ensure nobody breaks your window and tries punching your ignition is to drive a stick. Most hoodlums don't know how to drive one ... and if they try, you'll probably find your ride stalled out in an intersection within five blocks...Quote:

Most cars are stolen to be stripped, and in the City it's usually kids doing the boosting, and they have no more idea how to operate a manual transmission than they would a rotary telephone.Quote:

you could change out an expensive sound system for an 8 track player to deter also.
Honestly, it's a luxury, but if you can afford secured parking...totally worth it.
Incidentally if the significant other has business in the midtown area, that's an awesome place to live right now. Ten years ago I wouldn't have said that, but midtown is just humming these days.
...so has the OP been scared off by the vitriol & horror stories yet? :confused:
in any case, best of luck.. since you're in poli-sci/business, I'd almost suggest city/county government, but...:rolleyes:
I was, it's just that Bham hasn't gotten on this thread yet. Did that guy decide never to set foot in michigan after reading the posts about how he would die of shock by seeing a non-Stockholm grade city?Quote:
