Portland has jobs available in just about
any field you can imagine. Everything from government and law oriented jobs to
military and computing. Portland has its share of Fortune 500 employers such as
Intel
, Nike
Inc. Safeway, and Willamette Industries. Other major employers include
Fred Meyer Inc., Oregon Health Sciences University, Louisiana Pacific Corp.,
U.S. Bank, and Providence Health Systems. As an example, I've located a list of
major
employers in the Portland metro area Many sites out there have been
created to assist in the job-hunting process. Some are extremely helpful
.
some are not. I've compiled a list of the more useful links to help in your
search. Some are local and more specific, and a few are national which I've
taken the liberty of narrowing down to the local area as well if you choose.
The world truly is an exciting place, and I hope this site can help you along
the way.

Home Inspections >Final Inspection
Before buyers close on their new home purchase, they typically make a "walk-through" inspection to ensure that the property is in the same condition as it was when the purchase agreement was drawn up.
Some sellers convey the appliances and major systems "as is," offering no promise that they will be in working order. Other agreements require all of the major mechanical systems, such as heating, plumbing, and air conditioning, to be operational. It depends on the terms that are negotiated between the buyer and seller.
During this inspection, the buyer should check the appliances by turning each one on and letting it run through a full cycle. This gives the buyer a chance to make sure that any repairs that were to be made by the seller prior to the closing have been made. These details are much easier to work out before or during the closing than after the new owners take possession of the home.
