I guess it would depend on what type of company and what trade it is in. Also NY is very very expensive to live.. So he may not be making more actually. with the cost of living there. I would most definitely look into. You can get all that info off the net.
You know it would be about $100 cheaper to live there then here in Dunedin. Not a big enough difference other than he'd make twice the amount there than here. Thanks for the input though.
Really.. that surprises me. I figured with all the taxes they have up there would be much more.. and housing.. but then I forgot that on the west coast of FL the housing has skyrocketed in the past 10 years.
Oh I asked my hubbie about the hair thing.. because he is a production manager for a very large sign company. He has employees with very very long hair.. so he asked what type of trade would this manager postion be for.. that's why I asked.. so I could ask him what he thought :)
The trade is wholesale meats....thanks so much. He deals with the USDA. And sometimes a customer (chef) will come in to get a specific cut done the way he wants it for future orders.
hmmm that is a tough call. Maybe when he talks to them again.. he can ask what their dress code is. Most companies have one. You know.. only one earing for male.. two for women.. etc.. Hair in net.. blah blah blah.. Maybe that will give him a clue.
I do hope if this is what you and he are looking for that everything goes very well.
Thanks for the links they are very helpful. It's all still talk. We have mentally moved atleast 12 times this year alone. It's really stressful. But I will go where ever he needs me too for him to be happy with his work. And he has wanted to get back into wholesale for a long time. NY is a long way from Fl where I have spent most of my life. But I can adapt Cohoes looks nice too.
As a long-hair and former frequent interviewer... It just all depends on the particular group of folks that are doing the interview. There's lots of generalities like if you are exposed to the public or if they consider it a food service/health issue, but it comes down to corporate culture. If he knows anyone at all in the company, he could maybe tell what they put up with by that. A lot also depends on the structure of the company, if it's a family owned shop with upper management that is part of the family, they probably are less tolerant of things (super generality there, doesnt always apply, just a possibility). Keeping it braided and tucked away during the interview probably wouldnt hurt, and then maybe even express during the interview his opinions and flexibility(?) on the issue if employeed

Thank you very much. It is a family owned business. His first interview was with the owner, second someone that they hired outside the family (no longer with them) and the third is the owner's daughter who just wants to handle the business end not the work in the plant.
