FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA: The Coconino National Forest is headquartered in Flagstaff,
Arizona.  The Forest Service has three offices in Flagstaff:  the Supervisor’s
Office, Mormon Lake District Office and the Peaks Ranger District Office.  Most
people think of Arizona as being hot, with desert vegetation.  This is certainly
not true in Flagstaff.  Flagstaff is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest,
which in this area is primarily ponderosa pine with a variety of wildlife and
snow-capped San Francisco Peaks in the winter.

Flagstaff, Arizona is located at the intersection of Interstate 17 and
Interstate 40, and is the largest city in Northern Arizona. As a mid-sized city,
Flagstaff has approximately 76,000 people living in and around it. The city is
also the regional center and county seat for Coconino County, the second largest
county in the 48 contiguous states.  The City of Flagstaff, becoming a town in
1894, incorporated as a city in 1928, and currently comprising of just over 64
square miles, is nestled at the base of the San Francisco Peaks and surrounded
by one of the largest pine forests on earth.  Flagstaff drew its name from a
very tall pine tree made into a flagpole in 1876 to celebrate our nation’s
centennial.  At nearly 7,000 feet, Flagstaff is also one of the highest
elevation cities in the United States.  The city is a year-round mecca for
visitors and many Arizonans maintain second homes here.

NAU, the largest employer in the City, has a major economic impact annually. 
The campus is used year-round and hosts many professional athletes, e.g.,
Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix Suns, and Olympic athletes that choose Flagstaff
as training site because of the climate, altitude, and available facilities. 
The University, in partnership with the City of Flagstaff and the State of
Arizona, has institutionalized this with the development of the High Altitude
Sports Training Center.  The Center invites athletes worldwide to train at our
7,000 feet elevation, which has proven to offer a competitive advantage.  The
Center offers facilities, health assessments, and other services to these
international athletes.

Five business and industrial parks are situated with excellent access to the
Interstates (I-40 and I-17).  One additional site resides within 15 miles of the
City limits.  Major manufacturers include W.L. Gore & Associates (of Gortex
renown), manufacturer of medical equipment; Nestle Purina Petcare Products,
manufacturer of pet food; SCA Tissue, manufacturer of tissue paper; and Joy
Cone, manufacturer of ice cream cones.

HOUSING: The cost of housing in Flagstaff ranges from $200,000 to $400,000. 
Private housing, rentals, and apartments are available but thought to be in the
expensive range depending upon where you are moving from.  The average price of
residential properties sold in the first quarter of 2009 was $325,000. Real
estate in Flagstaff, AZ will always be a good investment because of the amount
of available land in the area is limited. Flagstaff has excellent choices of
real estate companies and real estate agents with which to work. Government
housing is limited and typically used for our temporary seasonal workforce.

WEATHER: Flagstaff enjoys four distinct seasons. Moderate summer temperatures
average twenty degrees less than Phoenix, and are punctuated with afternoon rain
showers in July and August.  The winter brings an average annual snowfall of
99.5 inches, much to the enjoyment of skiers, ice skaters and snowboarders. As
the snow thaws into spring, blooming wildflowers are abundant and fragrant along
Flagstaff’s many hiking trails. Autumn is highlighted with the changing of the
aspen leaves that transform the surrounding mountains into a golden tapestry of
color.  Flagstaff averages 283 days without precipitation each year, so it is
not surprising that our residents love the great outdoors, and the mild climate
encourages year-round outdoor activities

CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SCENIC ATTRACTIONS
Flagstaff serves as the cultural hub of Northern Arizona.  Because arts and
cultural activities enhance the quality of life and have an economic impact, the
City supports these endeavors.  Funding support for these activities comes from
the Bed, Board and Booze tax, and the General Fund.  The Arts and Science
Commission will disburse these funds.  Throughout the year, there are art shows,
festivals, live theater performances, and Native American arts and crafts
exhibits to satisfy the most ardent enthusiast.
The Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra is a non-profit corporation dedicated to
bringing world-class musical performances to their audiences, and to providing
innovative programs in music education for youth across northern Arizona.  The
FSO conducts six concerts from September through April form the core of the
Symphony's season, with additional Young People's Concerts for children in the
Flagstaff Unified School District, and a Lollipop concert in December for
families with young children. Regular concerts are held in 1500-seat Audrey
Auditorium on the campus of Northern Arizona University.
Lowell Observatory was founded in 1894 by Boston mathematician Percival Lowell.
Best known for the discovery of Pluto, Lowell Observatory is also where
astronomer V.M. Slipher gathered the first evidence that the universe is
expanding.  The Observatory also maintains a vigorous education and outreach
program, headquartered in the Steele Visitor Center on Mars Hill. Each year,
about 70,000 people visit the Observatory to learn about astronomy by
participating in multimedia programs, private and school programs, special
events, and other educational activities.  The Observatory offers daily-guided
tours and evening programs.
The Museum of Northern Arizona offers internationally recognition exhibits in
archeology, ethnology, geology, biology, and fine art of the Colorado Plateau. 
Four especially notable exhibitions, which attract national and international
visitors, include the annual Zuni, Hopi, Navajo, and Hispanic Exhibitions with
contemporary and traditional pottery, weaving, jewelry, and sand paintings, as
well as native artist demonstrations and traditional dance.

Known as the “City of Seven Wonders,” Flagstaff attracts millions of tourists
each year due to its easy access to such scenic destinations as the Grand
Canyon, Sunset Crater, Oak Creek Canyon, Meteor Crater, Walnut Canyon, Wupatki
National Monument, and the San Francisco Peaks.

SCHOOLS: Flagstaff Unified School District #1 has 9 elementary schools, 3 middle
schools, 2 alternative schools, 5 magnet schools, and 3 high schools.  In
addition to the public school system, there are 10 charter schools run by
private parties.  These schools provide educational opportunities for children
in kindergarten to high school.  The schools specialize in everything from
specific learning styles to programs focused on the Arts.

Coconino County Community College offers 33 associate degrees, 29 certificate
programs, continuing education, and special programs for small businesses. 
Flagstaff's commitment to education is enhanced by Northern Arizona University's
contribution to the community.  Established in 1899, NAU is one of Arizona's
three state universities.

TRANSPORTATION: Flagstaff is a major crossroads for the west.  Interstates 17
and 40 provide road access to major west coast markets, including San Francisco,
Las Vegas, Albuquerque, El Paso, Los Angeles, San Diego, parts of Mexico, and of
course, Phoenix and Tucson.  US Highway 89 provides access to the states north
of Arizona and Highway 180 provides access to the Grand Canyon.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway serves the city of Flagstaff with more than
100 trains passing through town daily.  Amtrak also services Flagstaff twice
daily connecting with Los Angeles and Chicago.  Bus services are available for
within the city (Mountain Line), intra and interstate (Greyhound), and several
tour guide companies provided service around Northern Arizona.  In addition,
there are several taxicab companies.
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, located four miles south of downtown Flagstaff on
I-17, provides frequent daily flights to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport, where national and international connections can be made.
Additionally, the City is committed to the development of a non-motorized urban
trail network (FUTS), which will interconnect virtually all areas of the City
when completed and will serve as an important transportation element as well as
a recreation amenity.  The current draft of the proposed City/County regional
plan shows an estimated 55 miles of FUTS.  The City has completed approximately
32.8 miles to date.
SHOPPING: Flagstaff has an array of shopping centers, including; Target,
Wal-Mart, Walgreens and other drug stores, auto parts stores, hardware stores,
Home Depot, Sam’s Club and the Flagstaff Mall with a wide selection of
department stores such as, Dillard’s, Sears and JC Penny’s.  There are a wide
variety of grocery stores and several health food stores.  Downtown Flagstaff
recently experienced revitalization as part of the Main Street USA program, and
features many quaint shops and galleries.

MEDICAL FACILITIES: Flagstaff has an extensive array of medical facilities and
resources in the areas of traditional, integrative and alternative healthcare. 
Flagstaff Medical Center is the Northern Arizona Regional referral center for
trauma, cancer, rehabilitation, cardiac care, high-risk maternal/fetal, MRI/CT
scans, and more.  More than 148 physicians are on active staff at the hospital,
representing 36 medical specialties.

CHURCHES: All denominations of religion are well represented in the Flagstaff
area.

RECREATION: Flagstaff sports a multitude of outdoor and indoor recreation
activities.  Horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, camping,
hiking, cross-country skiing, down-hill skiing, indoor pools, soccer,
basketball, little league, baseball, softball and volleyball, are  available for
all age groups at very little cost to the individual.

City of Flagstaff Parks and Recreation Department and the Flagstaff Athletic
Center East and West offer numerous indoor and outdoor activities.  In addition,
there is an extensive Urban Trail System throughout the area connecting the city
with the forest trails system.

Nearby National Parks and Monuments include:  the Grand Canyon, Montezuma
Castle, Walnut Canyon, Monument Valley, Painted Desert and Sunset Crater.

LIBRARY:  There is a community library in town which also serves the outlying
communities with a book-mobile which visits different areas of the community on
different days of the week.  The university also has a full service library.

MOTELS AND RESTAURANTS:  There is no shortage of motels or restaurants in the
community.  Being located at the junction of two interstates (I-40 and I-17) and
being the major community south of the Grand Canyon makes Flagstaff an ideal
location for major motels and restaurants.

Subject: The archaeology/CRM employment numbers are in.

Send Email Send Email
 
Folks,

As anyone who has not had their head stuck in a non-OSHA compliant trench for the last year knows, times are rough right now.  I have been watching the postings on ShovelBums as my own bellwether on how the economy is doing and since we are at the halfway point for the year, I thought I would share my observations with you.  Below is a chart showing the rate of postings on ShovelBums since 1999 (it is also available in real time at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ShovelBums/ scroll to the bottom of the page).  While the number of postings do not convey the number of jobs in each entry, and some entries are non-job related, the general trend is a good reflection IMHO of how things are going in CRM/Archaeology.

In general, the numbers since last fall have shown a marked drop off when compared to prior years.   Most months have the lowest number of postings since the early 2001/2002 seasons.


So what does this mean for you, the 13,446 members of ShovelBums?  For you prospective employees, you need to be presenting yourselves in an accurate and professional manner.  I occasionally get misdirected resumes from applicants who have not taken the time to read a posting for where to send a vita, and while this is a biased sample, I have to say the ones I have seen in general look like crap.  Sorry to be blunt, but if you are sending out a potential application you need to include a clear, concise, and polished cover letter and then a smartly laid out vita. 

So what can you as a potential employee do?

For starters I am calling on employers/managers to send me example copies of what they consider to be really sharp looking application packages (with any confidential information removed) including example cover letter and vita.  If you think yours rocks, send it my way.  I will then compile these into an "ideal" package and post an example of it online for potential applicants to use as a guide.  I once sent in a vita on fluorescent orange paper to a buddy, he told me he kept if on file for years to show how *not* to print our a vita package! :-)

For the managers/owners:

Now for you managers who are posting jobs and having to deal with crappy application packages who are cheering this, hold on a sec.  Many of you are on the hook too :-)

I always make it clear that a job is a two way street.   Archaeologists/CRMers need to operate at their top form at all times, employers need to reciprocate by treating archaeologists as the professionals they are.  This starts with how employers post jobs on ShovelBums.  What you need to be doing is including the five W's of writing in your job descriptions Who, What, When, Where, and Why, and then the big H of How much are you paying :-).  I have never advocated a standard form for job postings because, well, I find them really boring and people tend to glaze over when looking at them.  But I would like to see a continued effort to include the five W's and H when allowed by your firm, and if your firm is against the "Big H", try to reason with them that this is a good thing for the company, and the potential employees.  The bottom line is if your pay is below your competitors then it is time for you to bump it up, the math is simple, the higher your base salary, the higher your overhead - everyone wins.

Thanks for all the info Joe....now what are you up to?

Now in the big picture of things I am also posting this information for a ShovelBumscentric reason.  I was hoping to not have to do it this year, but with a mediocre response rate to having invoices filled last year, and with the down turn in the number of jobs posted on ShovelBums I am going to implement a support drive for ShovelBums as I have in other years.

You can help ShovelBums in several ways:

* If you have ever found a job through ShovelBums the deal always was you owed me a beer, since I have not been able to afford attending a conference in four years to collect on drinks, you can ante up at the PayPal bar :-)  There is a link on the left hand side of http://www.shovelbums.org/ where you can kick in what you might have paid for a drink for me at a conference.  You do not need a PayPay account to use this service.  After you are on the donation page use the "continue" link on the left hand side near the visa logo, it allows you to support ShovelBums without having to set up a PayPal account.

* Buy something from the ShovelBums store - http://www.shovelbums.org/coolgear  I make about $1-$5 on anything sold here.  So when you purchase some cool item for you to wear in the field/lab or to field school you are supporting ShovelBums.

* Uncomfortable with electronically shifting your money around? You can send a paper payment to:

R. Joe Brandon/Shovel Bums LLC
PMB 121
1215 Polaris Parkway
Columbus, Oh 4324

* If you are an employer and want to offer up a challenge of a "Matching" support payment, I am all for it.  

* If you have any other ideas how I can make this useful and non-invasive please drop me a note.

* And last but not least, encourage your employers to fulfill invoices from ShovelBums :-)


Thanks for your support!

Best,

R. Joe
