She's good to her word and keeps in contact with you throughout the process. I highly recommend her for quality work and for being rainbow-supportive. I got a job very quickly as a RN and bought a sweet little cottage in West Asheville within a year and a half, starting with nothing. Joseph is actively recruiting, even paying finders-fees, in many departments. Other friends have had a harder time making ends meet, though.
Rents are high for a Southern town and wages lag behind.
Many womyn have written me back letting me know they've had no trouble landing jobs in their fields, no trouble finding a house they loved and could afford, and this delights me. I just attempt to present a balanced picture of the challenges, and rewards, of this incredible place. There are three neighborhoods with significant gay populations, but otherwise, everyone seems fairly spread out throughout town and the mountains outside of town. So many folks want to live way out in the mountains, but unless you work at home, commuting is a real toll on the environment and something I wish more folks would stop and think about. Montford is very pricey these days and there are some rough streets still.
