Help! Want to be a Villager. But need to work when I get there!
Hi Folks,
I have visited TV on two occasions, last Feb and 2 years prior. I am now 61, and have no retirement from a job or SS, have enough to buy a moderately priced home, am single (or soon will be). So I need to find a job when I get there to pay the monthly bills. Have a resume, if needed. Briefly, Sales 35 years, Golf Instruction, last 3 years. I have no idea how to contact employers, other than the few items in Daily Sun. How do you get employment opportunities in surrounding areas or cities? I live in Amarillo, TX now. Please advise, I would really appreciate it. You have no idea how much I want to live in TV!! Jimmybee

Well I don't live there yet either but it seems to me that you have two possibilities within TV that fit your resume. Either new home sales agent and/or golf instructor. I can't imagine that (assuming you are a qualified instructor) that there wouldn't be a place for you within the TV system. I'm sure that you have seen this site: http://www.golfthevillages.com/index.asp and perhaps a call to someone on the contact us page could get you started on exploring that route. There is also a larger range nearby that does instruction (tree tops i think is the name? someone?). I would go that route if it were me.
The TV sales agent may or may not be to your liking but it may be worth a call. You might get a start in that area but calling someone from this site: http://www.careersinthevillages.com/...hoices.asp#top Good luck - Maybe you can get me to a single digit golfer when I get down there. Russ |

The Villages actually hires lots of folks, try their website www.thevillages.com and I think there's a link for career opportunities

Jimmybee... stop in to The Villages Human Resource Department. I think they have a loose leaf binder with available jobs in The Villages.

monster.com is terrible for this area - they are only concerned w/ the Orlando metro area. You may be OK since you're in sales - lots of retail down here, however, the pay sucks. I guess if you're on commission and are good at whatever you sell, you may do just fine. Good luck!
