Take this job and shove it.”

- David Allan Coe

 

A wise woman used to say that the word "JOB" is an acronym.
It stands for "Just Over Broke."

You don't want a job she would tell us. You want a career – one that will provide you challenges,
satisfaction and fulfillment, now and years down the road.

Nice thought… but realistic?
Especially, in this remote little corner of paradise they call upstate New York?

On the heels of eight years in local workforce development, I say emphatically, "Yes."

It's our hope that in that in the many pages of this web site, you’ll come to share an appreciation of the breadth of opportunity that these four counties – Chenango, Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie – offer entry level and experienced employees, entrepreneurs and relocating businesses.

To aid your examination, this website has been divided into seven parts.

The first section, TOOL BOX is a step-by-step guide to preparing for and taking optimum advantage of the job market.

ASSISTANCE provides a handy guide to resources and support in overcoming a number of impediments to local employment.

Section three offers the EXPERT opinions and guidance of the leadership in Workforce Development, business and government in the four counties.

EMPLOYMENT provides a profile of the local employment sectors and opportunities.

The BUSINESS section contains many useful resources for entrepreneurs, small business start-ups and relocating businesses.

In the DATABASE section, we furnish a wealth of data, including business and employment contacts, demographic profiles, labor market information and other useful facts, figures and statistics.

And finally, SPONSORS - arguably the most important section on the web site. These are the companies who are either actively seeking your resume and application or offer the resources and partnership needed to ensure your successful integration into the local economy.

There is little argument that the Southern Tier and Western Catskills provide an incomparable quality of life, and an ideal place to live and raise a family. But for the informed and engaged job seeker, career opportunities are equally attractive.

We invite you to utilize the publication and explore this web site – www.sweethomecareers.com.

We believe that in using these tools to build (or remodel) your future, you’ll...

"Take this job and love it."
