I keep getting good offers from the area I last lived in.  An area I was more than glad to leave and never want to live in again. 

Wouldn't be so bad except that these jobs would pay about 20% more than the mediocre job I have in the town I love.
Torn.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I have experience with living somewhere pretty that pays shittier than the ugly place I can live that pays better. Is that what you mean?

I made a decision a long time ago to live somewhere that has great weather and nice scenery, but either have to commute  or get paid 20% less. I commuted for a little while, long enough to find out I hated commuting. I have mostly worked here for less pay (although stopped working several years ago). My spouse has always commuted (used to be an hour 20 min one way, now it's closer to hour fortyfive) as there are no jobs here for him. He doesn't mind the commute (it's pretty) because he loves living here and doesn't want to live where he works.

It's a matter of what makes you happy in life, and how you want to get there. You will likely have to sacrifice something, so weigh both and see what you want to live with. 20% is nothing to sneeze at but if you're miserable maybe it's not enough to help you not be.

Seems somewhat relevant to the discussion at hand:  http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-recruiters-look-at-during-the-6-seconds-they-spend-on-your-resume-2012-4

I have been reading about eye-tracking software being used for websites to improve design.  It's very interesting to see it being used by recruiters, and might help tailor your resume a bit differently.

Man they picked two terribly formatted resumes for that.

Or, maybe, the executive position resume got more scrutiny because it was for an executive position and the FPGA Chief Architect position only got a brief look at the years of experience, skills and education because that was what was relevant for initial impressions?

My alternative is that people are fucking liars and you can't trust them until you grill them face to face.  Which is a bonus for executives, less so for people that do work.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

#1 - Never let HR pre-screen your applicants, unless you are in a situation where you have more submissions than you can glance over.
#2 - Mandatory written basic skills test over a broad area, this should expose any areas where they blatantly overstated skills you care about on their resume (and maybe reveal talents they didn't bother mentioning).
#3 - Interview with the in depth questions.
#4 - Background check on potential hires.
#5 - Hire people you can see yourself actually wanting to work with.

I would watch them fill out the written test, also.  Like, sit across from the table and stare at them.  So, may as well ask the questions.

I'm hiring contractors so it's a bit different.  We are complaining about a lack of pre-screening.

Like IT contractors or construction contractors? Because I've done the latter and it's a lot of fun to quiz those dudes.

While I will agree with the contractors thing, I've always gotten great general practitioners where ever I've gone (though I've been with Kaiser for a good long while).  Maybe its just you!

Must be nice.  I've had to deal with many doctors who just wanted to throw pills at problems without getting to the root of the issue and others who flat out refuse treatment because "we don't know how to deal with that."  Finding a good doctor is a godsend.

The range of choice of GPs out in the backwoods where Sky lives is probably a lot thinner than what we get here in sprawltown.

My company is hiring a ton, and not all in Colorado (we have some field/remote positions too). We do IT stuff for healthcare companies, but you don't have to have healthcare experience (certainly not for some of the more technical positions). Ping me if you want to know more.

Software Engineer
Transaction Support Analyst
Solutions Specialist (field)
Technical Product Manager       - Good position for a technical person who doesn't want to code, but can talk to customers and create solutions.
Implementation Manager
Technical Security Specialist
Contracts Processing Specialist/Order Entry Specialist
Supply Chain Value Analytics Manager
Solutions Specialist (field)
Customer Success Manager (field)
Sales Consultant - Supplier or Hospital verticals (field)
Service Operations Director - Device & Implant Segment

Colorado is a great place to live, if a tad expensive for you middle-of-nowhere dwellers.
