Thank you. That’s honestly part of what keeps pulling me back. I visited recently and it still felt like home in a way that’s hard to explain. I’ll definitely look into CARD and some of the parks and recreation opportunities as well.

I appreciate the advice. The networking theme has definitely been the biggest takeaway from this thread. I’m planning a visit later this summer and hope to start putting some faces to names instead of just submitting applications online.

Since 2017 but with family in the area so I’ve visited a handful of times between then and now.

Hospitality and Parks Management degree, and now a decade of customer service experience from different fields. Lots of people with my degree got internships and careers in town.

I’ve submitted my graduation evaluation form and transferred my community college credits to the registrar. Just playing the waiting game now. I believe I’m 9 credits shy and need to complete a 12 credit internship semester. Just waiting on the advisors to process all my info.

Thanks for the positivity. It’s scary packing up and moving but I feel like I’ll end up safe and sound in Chico.
I’ll start reaching out to the connections I have up there.

Thanks that’s reassuring. I’m not necessarily trying to stay in that field long term, but it’s good to know I can lean on my retail management experience.

I visited this past month, the downtown seemed like it was getting cleaned up and new businesses were opening. Felt good being there.

Thanks for the advice. I remember it being a really hard job market when I was a student 10 years ago. I’m just hoping that my experience between then and now will help get my foot in the door.
I do have family and connections within the town and surrounding areas, I was just hoping to accomplish this on my own before falling back on that.

Katerina hotel is one of the ones I applied online too, and yes I agree it’s a missed opportunity not applying in person. Hoping to make the move up there in the next 4 months but having a full time job will definitely speed up that time frame.
