Hi Jamin, I would think IT tech positions would be in demand in some areas. As a System Engineer, I would think It's hard to find any industry that does not rely on networks, computers and mobile devices. I am very fortunate; my job is 100% remote and allows me to relocate to all 50 states. I visited Anchorage and the surrounding areas in 2017 for two weeks...what's not to like. cold, snow, non-crowded, mountain views, and cooler summers are right up my alley. A good day for me is below 18 degrees with a blizzard.
Thank you, that's a good idea for me. I've always wanted to move to Anchorage Alaska, however the real issue is thinking of jobs. I like technology, programming, support etc but idk what jobs would really be available in Alaska since it's obviously a lot tougher of a place than California or Ohio and people wouldn't care as much for tech.
@@nicholasbrooks7349 Google IT, PC help desk, PC technician, programer jobs, etc. in Alaska or search by a city in Alaska. hospitals, clinics, Realtors, retail chains (like Walmart, Home depot, etc.) rely on computers and networks. You just have to search and have the skills for the position, also try searching for Open Competitive jobs, which are government jobs open to all US citizens, no prior government employment necessary.
Alaska needs people who do stuff, especially with their hands as the older generation starts retiring and dying off. Trades and truck driving will pay more than healthcare type positions even though both are equally important. We're flooded with service industry workers and many are summer seasonal jobs. 😮
Hello Jamin, I am in North Carolina and my dream is to move to Alaska. I was born & raised here but the appeal of Alaskan life is calling my name. I am in the IT field, specifically networking/security. Basically, as soon as I can find a job offer (ideally with relocation assistance) to Alaska, I'm moving there. When that time comes I would be interested in working with you for real estate services. I am a contractor with a security clearance, so I can work on DoD facilities doing IT work. I've done a lot of research on the state of Alaska, and looks like DoD main markets are Anchorage or Fairbanks. If you happen to know anyone hiring in IT please keep me in mind. I've done a lot of my own research, and I'm not asking you to do any work for me, but more so if you have connections that may advise or help that would be great. Thank you sir
Born and raised in Idaho, but I've been living and working in SE Alaska 4-6 months a year my whole adult life, so if/when the move comes, it'll at least be an easy transition
@@alaska_realtor Juneau. I work south of there mostly, but I need snow in my life, so even though Ketchikan would be more convenient, it's too gray and wet for me
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm looking into applying for AlaskaDOT. The bad thing there is you have to actually live in Alaska before you can apply.
@@chevofranco6085 It's the unknown that gets you. When you're not familiar with something, it can make you question it. I'm sure there are jobs for CDL drivers in Alaska but you always worry about if you can afford to live there on a Truckers salary.
@@chevofranco6085 You're absolutely right. You miss all the chances you don't take. Though sometimes the scariest part is the fear of the unknown. I've been researching Alaska in general just to get as much information as possible before I make the move.
Just because jobs are listed it dies not mean it's a decent paying job, many industries have a ton of posting only because the pay is substandard, as in you will not want to do it for what they are offering.
I'm an experienced hazmat CDL driver in N Idaho and from what i can see i would be taking a huge pay cut to move to Alaska. I suppose running to Prudhoe Bay might pay but my wife wants to be on the coast.
Can’t find much for experienced truck drivers online. The few jobs I did find are a joke when it comes to pay. I don’t understand how they pay so low, yet the cost of living is so much more than down here in the 48.
3:40 relocation guide. My husband and I are seriously considering moving to Alaska; Fairbanks area potentially. We are aging out (50+) for an environment as harsh as Alaska can be. We both love the outdoors and plan to be in it. He is an avid hunter and wants to become a hunting guide. I’m am well- skilled in many areas and am considering teaching. I’m don’t have my teaching license but do have a MA and am willing to do more schooling. What advice can you give us?
Hey Devra, that's exciting! The big thing I would recommend is to come up and visit and stay in some Airbnbs in the area that you believe yall will like the most. Shop for the area first, and then shop for the individual property. For the employment, if you're just trying to get your feet under you, I would recommend hopping in as a substitute teacher. In ASD a few years ago, it was $150 for a whole day, so that wasn't a ton but it was enough to get started.
Jamin, I was looking for schools in Anchorage and saw that it was lottery to get into school for the kids. From your review of jobs in-demand appears schools are really an issue in AK. We currently homeschool through charter and were looking to move up there with five kids. Haven't seen episode on schools yet. Wonder if you made one.
Ok... Thanks for the video, Is it real to find a job there for immigrants with their broken English and without any qualification, education,special professional skills but with great desire to move & stay in AK? What's about the next video about simple workers like cleaners, moving field, truck workers & more information about their salary, costs of living in Anchorage for ordinary family with children...
I hear the school districts are really hurting for bus drivers and custodians. Im moving back in 6 months and have 12 years of experience as a custodian and i also use the drive kids around in a 13 passenger van for a youth group. I am hoping to get a job as a custodian or a bus driver. So does it look like I have a good chance at that?
I have always wanted to live in Alaska, I quit the legal prossion and have an undergraduate degree and of course a graduate one also. I would love to teach. Is this a viable option even though I have never been a teacher?
I am in Illinois. My significant other is in Alaska, so I hope to move there with a job. My past work history is all in social services, but unlicensed. Any ideas?
The best job , if you're a white guy with a clean record , is to be an Anchorage cop . They have done the worst job in 35 years because the police department is so corrupt . There's crack and dealers of other hard drugs THAT NEVER GET ARRESTED . Anchorage cops that have retired still get a pension thats equal to their pay . And they were the highest paid workers in Alaska for many years .
Are there reliable Audio/Video jobs in Alaska? You mentioned all the commercial construction, I currently design AV systems for large entertainment venues in Dallas.
I’m looking for a job in Alaska oil field .I have experienced over a decade in the industry. My biggest dream is to be working in the worlds biggest oilfield Alaska. Currently I’m working in Kuwait oilfield.could you please help me to find out a employer to hire me 🤝 Thank you for your time

Yes it is, the only drawback for me is moving possessions there economically.

Do people still flood the restaurants in Anchorage when it's cold like this
You know, I would say so. Surprisingly, ice cream shops do really well.
Happy happy New Year 2023 Jamin. 🎆

Moving to Alaska from NC to! I know IT is great in anchorage, but not sure where else.
Heck yeah! Some more NC people! We need you up here! I'm from ECU and Greenville. Hope you can make your way up here. It is a great place.
@@KenHagler heck yeah! Wish I could’ve moved sooner but it’s always worth the wait!

That will be pretty seamless. Do you have a town in mind?

How can I transition into a resident from a seasonal worker?
Thinking to move to Alaska, what about jobs for CDL holders?

Do some companies pay u to relocate
You know some of them do but it really depends on the industry that you're applying to.
