Me - I live in London , why am I watching this ?? 🤔
Me 30 minutes later - " adiós family , I'm moving to Florida " 😅😅😅😅😅
I would love an episode that talks about safe areas for BiPOC people to move into specifically middle-class areas.
If you're an unskilled worker you'll be very hard pressed to make a living in Orlando (or most places). There isn't much industry other than the theme park/food service industries and most of those jobs are hourly paycheck to paycheck. White collar skilled workers like accountants would have an easier time, nurses too will always be employable there.
For veterans Orlando is amazing. Most companies here in Orlando and it seems like Florida in general love veterans and will try to hire them since most have technical background.
Just as a heads up, AdventHealth took over all of the Florida Hospital locations including the one in celebration. They’re the big name in Orlando’s medical field right now I personally think. They’re everywhere
Me: I’m moving to Orlando!
Everyone else: You must really be in to Disney.
Me: I’m moving to LA!
Everyone else:
There is a difference between the right person for the job and the right job for the person.You gotta figure that out for yourself.
The bit about putting keywords in white is genius! So many companies use resume reading software especially for professionals and if your resume doesn't have the right keywords it will get kicked out before a human ever even sees it.
Sean has given a ton of great advice there.
Yes. Exactly ...do NOT go out on maternity leave! 😂
And don't apply for a job there. LOL I mean I guess at least they're honest
This is fantastic, certainly covered a few questions my wife and I have, albeit we’re hoping to move over from the UK, I work in IT support and my wife is a teacher so we’re hopeful to find something. Anyhow although our plans are in the future this helped a lot. Keep up the great work!
Great tips Sean. Conveying how you can make an impact on a company’s strategic initiatives is what makes you sticky. Taking an appreciation and aligning with culture is just as important. If you can read a pro-forma- great- but simple ‘investor relations’ or ‘company news’ is where you can best focus your homework on.
My partner and I pillow~talk about when we’re retirement age if we are able to that we’ll move to Florida and work at Disney. (We’re from the U.K.). Whenever we go to Disney we see older generation cast members and it’s very inspiring to see Disney aren’t ageist.
I’ve never heard such great advice for filling out a resume and applying for a job.
While not nearly as glamorous, there are also industrial/warehouse jobs in the Orlando surrounding areas. Like the Lowe's distribution center in Kissimmee. There's a Walmart distribution center in Winter Haven. Coke, Pepsi, Budweiser. Amazon. Publix, Walgreens, CVS. Petco. McLane. Office personnel, warehouse workers, forklift drivers, etc.
How would one go about searching for those jobs? What would that job entail? Pay? Curious for my fiance. He is a heavy equipment operator here in CA.
@@bres4950 Probably directly through the company career website. Walmart careers has a section for distribution center jobs searchable by location.
Agree, Sean. The jobs I have had in FL told me they never would have called me if I did not already live here...because so many people say they are moving here and they never do. Unfortunate but true. Employers assume people who are really serious will always find a way to move without finding a job first if they have to. Which is usually true. I've found risk/dedication is rewarded over someone playing it safe and saying "I won't move until you promise me a job" ...at least this was my and my husband's experience.
Gatorland is one of them. They will not hire you if you're not already an orlando resident
@@alex64gaming interesting to know! Does not surprise me though.
That white text... Sean is an evil genius
Do not make false statements on your Disney application. They may hire you but the background check sometimes lags behind the hireing. When they do a background check on you they will terminate you for false statements.
Really liked the information you guys gave about hiring, definitely will be using that in the future
Thank you for this Info!!!
This is a good topic should do it more often
Great episode. Sean gave some good advice.
Terrific advice, Sean!
Thank you for these tips!
I work in HR and I will say you can put your address... It's kind of unavoidable sometimes because your current job could give ur location away. However, you can put your intention to move in your cover letter and application answers (but yeah, don't make it contingent on that job, you need another reason). That's how I got a job across the country :-) Also, I got my current job through Indeed!
Thank you so much for this. I've been with McDonald's for over 20 years and could apply at any McDonald's in the Orlando area, but that's no guarantee of gainful employment.
Dee, there's, many McDonald's in the St. Cloud, Kissimmee and Orlando area. Especially around and close to the amusement parks. The only bad thing now is the Covid-19. And many places closing down, including small businesses due to the pandemic, it's a chain reaction people are not going to the parks as before! Even though that area has always been number one in the whole United States in employment due to all the parks, stores, outlet stores, restaurants, hotels, so many fast food restaurants, motels, in the medical fields, Orlando airport. Even though I heard a couple of days ago one of the major airlines in the Orlando Airport was laying off more than three hundred and fifty employees due to very few people traveling from the airport, especially from other countries coming to Orlando to go the parks.which is hurting the hotel , parks, gift shops, restaurant, outlet stores, car rentals, taxi, Uber, Lift and more industries. I should know because I live in Tampa, Florida. Just about a 45 minute drive from Kissimmee and I read about and see it every week on You tube , the news everyday. The two fields that are in high demand there and everywhere are in the medical field, and teachers when and if schools open back up again. I know here in Tampa Florida many teachers are afraid to go back to teaching due to the pandemic! Good luck everybody and stay safe!
BTW one of the most amazing McDonald's in the world at the corner of International Drive and Sandlake in Orlando 👍
are you able to offer advice for people looking to move from the UK? perhaps something you are considering adding to the site? would be hugely appreciated for a lot of people I would imagine.
Thank you for the video.. i wanted to know if we can find a software or IT corporate job in Orlando area.. where are the areas for such jobs ..
Don't forget if your interested in a manufacturing job in Orlando, Locheed Martin is usually hiring on there website and they have good paying jobs.
Yeah but unfortunately they only hire Veterans the Most
Yes im thinkingg to moving to orlando strt a new chapter i ve been 3 times and is beautifull ive stayed in sonoma kissimee and it was beautifull i love everything about itt 💯💖💖
$15 an hour is not enough because everything else will go up to so it even out
Hi,
Want to move to Orlando from India on a work permit. Is it possible?
I am a City worker for the city of Fort Lauderdale and my position in Maintenance where I get paid $23 a hour here up in Orlando the “same” position is listed for around $12/13 a hour. Do you know why the big gap? I wanna move to Orlando but this is making me really nervous because of low paying
Hi, I am an attorney. Looking into defense work and disabled veteran claims. Any insight into that marketplace? Does Orlando and surrounding courts lean blue or red?
Honestly, if you are going to move to the Orlando area from outside of the area, you would want to find an employer and the job that is going to have you want to move there as an experienced person that makes a living wage. The advice here seems to be for somebody that is going to be working part-time, or if an employer needs somebody to be absolutely local, that job isn't going to be worth it anyway. Essentially, what you're asking from the employee is that the job is going to be not what it takes to be worth it for somebody to want to move down there and make a decent living doing something.
Orlando has no jobs and is trying to kick out the lower middle class/ low class.
What about work for veterans ?
What if I just wanna work for you guys
I want to work at Universal over Disney tbh but I'd take either. I really want to move there from ga
What is the situation on taxes in the area? Income tax, state tax, sales tax, property taxes etc????
Florida doesn't have an income tax, property tax is a little high compared to most states (depends where you live in Florida) and the state of Florida sales tax is 6%, but counties can add an additional 1% tax.
They have a video on that very thing. It talks about all of that.
What about a Canadian? Can we get jobs in the area too?
Gotta get one of those sweet hb1 work permits
What is the worst parts of town not to move too?
OK I am looking for a professional non profit job not park jobs which are nice but I need to make $50 to $70 to live in FL and that's on the low end .
I noticed the same thing when applying for jobs out of state, I was told by many sources if you're from out of state you'll get turned down. I honestly suggest you just lie about your address and just put some random apartment complex as your primary address(if you're that desperat). Just my opinion, but yeah you'll definitely get turned down if you are not an orlando resident already.
Dat Persian King I don't think lying on a resume is a good idea.
@@chrissyfoley7361 I said "if you're that desperate", reading is fundamental my friend
Dat Persian King what do you mean reading is fundamental? If you get caught lying on a resume they will not want to hire you because you immediately become untrustworthy.
Dat Persian King I did read it btw. You should never be desperate enough to lie.
@@chrissyfoley7361 nobody said I was desperate. I said "If YOU are desperate", speaking in 3rd person. Just a suggestion, relax!
As someone who works in HR, don't copy the job description in your application, it actually shows laziness. Tell us how you have the qualities that are mentioned and sell yourself, don't just copy and paste.
housing cost must be extermly costly
Are you guys hiring?? I would leave NY today if I can work with the dis..
Rod Brown I guess you didn't watch the video 😂
Retrocade Podcast yeah they just said they are not hiring.
@@RetrocadePodcast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn't watch or making a joke. ...Not hiring and don't want someone not already local.
My son is going to move down there masters in art...cant find a job..I know covid has made it a mess but i think with a florida address he will find a job....
I thought it could've used less a resume cover letter tutorial, but anyway... I live in Tampa.
It honestly just depends, because some people dont take enough time on their resume. Some jobs really thoroughly look and study your resume, and some dont it just depends.
It's sad the kind of resumes/letters people bring in to my job. It's hard to find one that spells half the words correctly. Some do not even get the name of the business right
An additional job search resource: usajobs.gov. There are many opportunities to work for the US Government in the Orlando and Space Coast regions.
I thought all the decent fed jobs were in/near Jacksonville. Or east Florida.
David Samuelson no there are several jobs in the Orlando area. I would be happy to chat with you if you are interested
I've been applying for several positions through the websites for months. I'm in NY with every intention to move quickly, anything I can do differently?
@@wolfrider715 Hi .. could you pls tell me if there are software jobs in Orlando Area.. if so where is the concentration of such jobs .. is it lake mary or such??
You don't posit many decent jobs down there. Seems like most every job is within an untenable situation. Buy a house & have a bunch of strangers occupying your home just to try to massage ends meet? No thx.
Was expecting a more job specific post, not a lecture on resume 101. Hoping for some informed thoughts on actually moving to Orlando. Instead of a self absorbed view of how "I'm not hiring " and " I don't run a halfway house". Put the mirror down.
First 👍
Big liar
