    Wave California Dreaming

    I am hoping someone may be able to give me a little advice about relocating to California. I am an ABO/NCLE certified optician with 13 years of experience, and I also hold a NV Dispensing Optician and Contact Fitting license. I am planning a move from Wisconsin to California in April 2014, and hope to find work in the Sacramento area/suburbs. Can anyone tell me a ballpark range of salaries in that area? I would also be interested to know, from a hiring manager's standpoint, how soon is too soon to start getting my resume out, and do managers generally hire someone from out of state?
    Thanks!

    It would certainly help your chances if you know someone in the optical community out in CA who will vouch for you and your abilities.

    LC will pay $20-25 base per hour plus monthly bonus and performance spiffs for a licensed lab manager. I just clocked out for my last shift so I know there is an opening in Chico which is about 1.5 hours north of Sacramento.
