[Tfug] OT: jobs in the metro Phoenix area

[Steve B]

Thanks for the info. I'm not too keen on working for GoDaddy (I've heard
about the high stress and turnover). Ideally I'd like to avoid the help
desk job all together as I've had my fill of it. If I had to do it again
I'd prefer somewhere with a little less stress, and a bit more civility (a
hospital, ASU or something like that). I've applied at every single Costco
in the metro Phoenix area...would love to work there. It's such a good
place to work they have very low turnover. I know two people at one of the
Costco's here in town and I could not even get an interview for a seasonal
job. Sadly I just do not have the aptitude for programming. I'd love to
work for Google or Intel, but the former is not hiring for the Phoenix
office at this time and most all the positions at the latter require an
engineering background.
