Dear Blog Readers,

My wife has just been notified by her company (a large multi-national with foreign headquarters) that they want to relocate her job from Trenton, NJ to Houston, TX. For various reasons (including my own employment, family location, etc) we’ve decided that we are most likely not interested. She has until February 18 to decide.

If she chooses not to go, she will still have a job until summer (maybe September), when a small amount of severance will be paid. She’s also decided that she will leave immediately should the right job come along.

So, she is looking for a job locally.

Her qualifications and experience:

15 Years experience in large, rotating industrial machinery
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rutgers University’s School of Engineering
B.A. in Economics from Rutgers University’s Rutgers College (simultaneous with the engineering degree)
New Jersey Professional Engineer (PE) License
Project Management Institute PMP certification (Project Management Professional)
many years design experience – primarily in large rotating machinery and related support systems but also in small security devices
several years supervisory experience
has served as Project Engineer and Project Manager on multi-million dollar projects, occasionally filling both roles on the same project
ISO 9000 trained. Was a member of her company’s internal ISO 9000 auditing group in addition to her engineering responsibilities.
working knowledge of German, including experience with co-workers in the “home country”
some Spanish skills
Current Title: Manager of Project Management
currently serves as Diversity Coordinator for her division
