I was more planning on just going there and applying for a job and using my experience to get me the job, if that didn't work, I'd just try for another job. That works, too. It's not all that hard to find employment here, though you do have to show proof of eligibility for employment (visa) and I can't remember if you have to have the job to get the visa or the visa to get the job. That might be the only snafu.
This is just a call centre (well, I'm assuming they do more, but mostly it'll be a call centre), and the it's more about space rather than location. That makes sense. Mostly, I expected it to be either on Westheimer or within the 610 loop, since that's the big business district. But that is slightly more compact (as compact as we get, anyway). Plus most of the stuff in there is either older or really ritzy.
Hah, you're talking to a Canadian. We have more land than we can shake a stick at, we don't really do compact either. Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. HMA covers about a third to half of the Texas coast line and goes inland quite a bit. They actually had to extend the Gulf Coast Channel (the channel where ships dock in Houston) inland by about fifty miles because there was so much development. Granted, that was some sixty-odd years ago, but still. I think we do cram more people into a city than y'all do. But 31,000 people? That's about the size of Huntsville (I think...the college is about 18,000 plus there's the townies).
...damn...I just surpassed the character length. We gotta break this up again. I'll post the second half in a sec.
