I've moved from California to East TX. I've worked For Kaiser Permanente (healthcare), Law firms and government in California. I still haven't figured the Job market here. All the jobs appear to be near Houston. But, I don't need to drive 3 hrs! I'm thinking about starting a business if things don't change soon.

You moved without a job lined up?

I mean, east Texas isn’t known for having a bustling job market. There’s Houston / Dallas / Austin, and then there’s everything else.

I think the business is my best option. I'm already working on it. Ty for the heads up. I know this area isn't great for IT. But, the fishing and hunting are pretty good.

Biz owners/entrepreneurs: Any tips on how to answer questions where the interviewer would want to know why I’d want to work for a company if I have my own. I’d want to reassure them that I have no intentions of leaving their company for mine or that there wouldn’t be competing priorities between us. I have a small photography biz. When this came up in an interview how did you address it? On my resume it does show that I’m currently a photographer w/ my own biz. I was selected for an interview.
