This is probably completely off topic, but I figured the worst it could be is a shot in the dark. I am currently living and working at a financial firm in Nebraska, but due to some crazy life changes (divorce, selling house, etc) I want to pursue my goal of moving to Montana. I will be heading up this week to look for a job, as I have a place to stay around the Bozeman/4 Corners area.

I don't necessarily need to find something in my current line of work, although it would be a plus, but I am more so looking for something that will pay my rent and small amount of bills and allow me to get my foot in the door.

If anyone has any ideas or knows somebody looking for help, please let me know, as I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks ice brothers, hopefully being a flatlander will be a thing of the past

I have a friend that just started working for Edward Jones  here in  Bozeman about a month ago. They hired him with no previous experience.  With that being said I don't know if they are still hiring or not but it's a starting  point.

Good Luck.

There is a lot of need for good project managers for General Contractors in new construction.

Trev, that is probably the most expensive place to live in MT. Just a heads up.

This time of year I think some of the tax preparation companies look to beef up their staff so that might be an option.  There is also a bank on just about every corner in most of the larger Montana communities and seems like they are always hiring people for one job or another.  Hope you can find something that fits your skill set.  I started out a flatlander (Kansas) and moved to Montana 31 years ago.  Never plan on leaving....

Awesome, I will definitely check them out! Thanks for the tip

I have no prior knowledge of construction management, but I am definitely willing to work hard!

I am definitely open to other options (Missoula, Kalispell, Whitefish), but my best friend lives in the Bozeman area and I already have a place to stay for $500-600 per month with both my dogs. It just eliminates one of the two things I need (job and place to stay)

Good idea, I plan on checking out as many places as I can and dropping off my resume. I have been looking online too, but figure if I show up in person it shows that I am committed as opposed to applying 1,000 miles away on a computer. Once I make it up there, I don't think I will leave either brother

Thanks for the replies and ideas! I just really want to make this work

Sounds like they're looking for people in all of MT's cities.  Great Falls would be one of the cheapest to live in, and close to great diversity of hunting / fishing opportunities.  Not the most scenic place to live though.  Good luck with the move - you'll never regret it.

Good luck keep us posted on what you find

If you need something for the summer around Livingston shoot me a PM. It's nothing to do with finance but it does relate to fishing.

If all else fails, you can work at the golf course I help run up in Eureka.

Awesome, definitely might check that out on Tuesday, I have a place I can stay near Great Falls. Thanks!

Need all the luck I can get, thanks for the positive support!

Right up my alley, PM sent

Wouldn't need much convincing to get my Dad up to visit from Arizona! Can't thank you enough for the offer, would definitely be amazing living up there. I'll keep that in mind!

Thanks again to everyone contributing and sending positive vibes. I am nervous about the big move/change, but feel that it's the best thing for my heart and quality of life and couldn't imagine better people or a place to be!

Your welcome! It's hard to find good help in a small town so if your Dad wants free golf on Montana's #1 course, PM me to work something out.
