Sedona hiring--any and all types of positions...

[Sedona Jeep School]

If you have ever dreamed about moving to Sedona, they are desperate for all kinds of workers. Take a look at the classified section, help wanted:

http://www.redrocknews.com/index.htm#

I have never seen so long a list of job openings. Every business person I talk to lately is lamenting the dwindling workforce pool. It's no wonder--landlords keep raising rent, and potential employees can't afford to actually live here on the wages that business owners can afford to pay.

The homeowners who complain about all the tourism traffic may get their wish--if there are not enough employees, businesses either go under from the inability to meet the volume needs, or a slower death due to a few overworked underpaid employees providing poor visitor experiences and eventually running the reputation of the business into the ground.

I love Sedona. :rolleyes:

oh my, that's a long list of people hiring...I'd go up there if I wasn't in school :eek:

I went up to Sedona, found one of those "vortexes" and sat crosslegged for nearly an hour. Headache, sunburn, windburn couldn't hardly get up and so stiff legged I fell down the rock, skinned up my shin and both hands and I had to P like a racehorse.
And they call that enlightenment:rolleyes:

Do any of the jobs pay enough to actually live in Sedona? I was under the impression it was really expensive for housing etc. I hope I'm wrong, I wouldn't mind living in that area at all.

If I sold my house in Tucson could I buy one in Sedona? ;)

Jim, look at the link again for Real Estate...:D

Yea, right! I'd have to stop at the local large appliance store on my way out of Tucson and pick up my new "home".

Where do the normal working people live that work in Sedona? Can't make $10.00 - $15.00 per hour and pay 1/2 a million for housing. :eek:

It is a beautiful area to live in!

To live and work in Sedona, you either:

A. Live with six roomates
B. Have a large trust fund
C. Bought a house prior to 1996
D. Dropped out of the rat race with a nice golden parachute and work as a Jeep tour guide just to keep yourself entertained.
E. You don't actually live in Sedona city limits at all--you commute from one of the charming outlying communities where you can actually afford a decent size home and acreage, are actually allowed to park vehicles in the driveway (in any condition), can drink beer on your front porch without offending anyone (as long as you offer them a beer), and everyone in the 'hood has goats, horses, chickens, donkeys, dogs, cats, kids, etc. running all over the place. :D

Don, it sounds like you were too close to the epicenter of an electric vortex. Your wah was disturbed by non-harmonic vibrations contradicting the aspects of your astrological chart on that particular day...

...Okay, sorry, you know it's been a long week for me when the BS gets chest-high. :D

Sedona to Flagstaff is only like 30-35mns....so I could go to NAU...but work and live in Sedona(OPTION E definitely)...

mmmm can I work for you?:D

[pitch]

Sedona to Flagstaff is only like 30-35mns

Yeah :D on a good day, with no traffic, driving 15-20 over the speed limit.

It is a beautiful drive, but once tourist season is here, this drive easily takes an hour when you are stuck behind a fleet of RV's driven by grandpas in Oak Creek Canyon. Live/go to school in Flag (more housing options) and working weekends in Sedona could work though. On another note, you can tell the average age of Sedona residents when the streets empty out immediately after sunset. The early bird specials are over, so the Medicare crowd heads to bed! Its not the college life that most students look forward to!

Hey--HEY!--Watch it, Eric--I am one of those off the streets by dark. :cool: :D

NOT my rig! My juiced Cummings was putting out 525 HP and 1750 lbs of torque.:cool: That thing would honk hard.:eek:

The torque number of a Cummins B series is typically twice that of the horsepower number (numerically of course). If you were putting out about 525 to the rear wheels then you'd be at about 1,000-1,200 ft/lbs of torque. So either your torque number is exaggerated or your horsepower number was conservative. :D :D :D Not to nit-pick of course. :p

Dunno, it was a dyno thing. That was at full boost with the turbo. Around 35-40 lbs as I remember.

[HiJinx]

Holy crap that's a gob of boost. No wonder the torque numbers are high. Crazy diesle engines.

Believe me that thing would HONK. My loaded weight was close to 50k lbs and it would make mincemeat out of big rigs on the hi-way.

Reminds me of Telluride.I remember the last time i was there,the local town paper was lamenting about the very same situation for the local support workers.To live in Telluride is for the very rich(discounting living with a squad)or having a very nice trust fund. If i was in my twenties again, i'd be there in a heart beat!Getting back to the subject matter.The normal work force cummutes about 20 miles from town where its more affordable.I real ***** in the winter time.Aspen and Vail also face the same situation.Here locally in Arizona, Flagstaff and Payson face hiring problems for support staff as in teachers,fireman,police etc.The wages are competitive with Phoenix,Mesa,Gilbert,tempe, but to buy property and live there is ridiculis for the rank and file.

I was in Sedona this last weekend and some VERY interesting events occured....






Appearantly there was an INS raid over the weekend :D

Some friends were staying at the Radisson Hotel and they had no porters, no room service, and no caddies....ummmmmm.... later....

We (a group of 8) tried to go to a mexican restaurant for dinner on Monday night, and guess what?????? We tried 4 places and they we all closed (actually one was closed due to a private party), I'll give you 3 guesses as to why?

I wonder how long the employment classifieds will be next week?

Well it only gets worse. Apparently, the hottie we all know as Nena is really Maria Gonzales Gonzales. She has been deported by the INS and turned over to the Mexican authorities and is now setting in a jail cell down in Tijuana.:(

Nena-Maria was a known exotic dancer in Mexico City with ties to the underworld and Mexican CIA who was then tracking a Pablo Escobar a political fugitive from Panama. Nena apparently intercepted a message sent by Pablo to his associates in Miami and gave it to her CIA contact. Nena later discovered the CIA contact was a playing both sides of the street. Therefore, she turned him in to his boss who as it turns out was also on the take.:mad:

The word is that Nena is being transferred to a local high ranking police in Waurez . We are currently putting together a group of hard core Jeepers to intercept the transport as it passes thru Rocky Point.:D

We have a contact here at a 24 hour Wal Mart that can get her forged papers so she can work there until she is able to get a green card.:eek:

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.:cool: All donations are tax dedutible to you as an additional dependent on next years income tax.:rolleyes:

[FrenchChili]

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.:cool:


Judging from previous posted pics, anything for Nena :D
