Agree with jsalvatier’s reply. Also, I think you could do a referral for 3M positions outside of MN. I probably wouldn’t mind MN, if there were a tribe there, except maybe the distance from family. (I actually slightly prefer coldness and sweat easily from heat even when not tired, although maybe that’s a thyroid issue I should resolve.)
Thanks for the clarification. As for tribes… not quite sure and trying to find that out myself, actually. There’s Minnesota Atheists, Humanists of MN, Minnesota Skeptics, and Twin Cities Atheists (not looking so active). Anyway, that’s about all I know—I’m trying to find a more regularly meeting “tribe” of my own, in fact!
Added: Yes, I can provide referrals, but I find that much easier to do when I know of the opening myself and can have a face to face recommendation based on first order relationships. While I can probably recommend for any plant/site in the country, I think my voice counts more for person-to-person cases. I was able to get a fellow university engineering grad a job in my very own group, in fact! Well, he pulled his own weight too and had to interview against several other candidates, but I like to think that my vouching counted for something.
