I haven't read many positive things about TA-55, so wondering what it's actually like working there. I see that most of the openings in my field at LANL are in TA-55.

The way to play the game is easy! You just downvote this comment. If you upvote it New Mexico gets deleted. :(

Hi all, to keep it simple, we are in process of buying a house off market through someone that we know. We need buyer representation on our end to order inspections, be there for the appraisal, and make sure things are moving along.

Any recommendations, please let me know!

Hello everyone, my husband will start at the lab within the next month or so we are looking at a house in Espanola. My question is how is the high school there? I have a son that is going into 11th grade and I didn’t know if it was worth trying to get him transferred into Los Alamos high school and then driving him there every single day just letting him go to the Espanola high school. Can anyone know with high school aged children give me some advice or comment on their experiences with the high schools around Los Alamos.

I’m disgruntled working for my Los Alamos government contractor, and want to get into the lab during the hiring spree.

I have connections at LANL from managers I currently work with. I also plan to incessantly apply all summer and fall. Please, share all the resume tips for a local.

I've looked up some of the people from my hiring committee and none of them seem to be on LinkedIn. Is it not allowed to have your job info posted on LinkedIn when you work at LANL?

Any other people have an idea of how long it takes to get onboarding stuff from HR, I'm a New intern, accepted a position, my start date is supposed to be June 1st, I've signed for housing, but, I'm still waiting on HR to actually confirm, well, everything, and then actually sign paperwork

I want to email my POC but Ive already emailed asking last week, maybe I'm overthinking it

Does anyone know if Verizon offers a discount to LANL employees? The only thing I found is a discount on accessories. Not the phone or phone plans.

Hello LANL Community, I have applied for several positions at LANL over the past 2+ years. I have been interviewed six times for six different positions. A couple of these positions were cancelled, the others I was not chosen for. My instinct is that I'm only being interviewed because the interviewing team is required to show due diligence by interviewing a certain number of qualified people, even if they already have a candidate in mind already. Is there truth to this, or I am just coming close but not landing an offer? Thank you. : )

Not to get into to much detail as I’m sure some people wouldn’t appreciate it. I was told that this was a kinky town and have yet to see that for myself. I have been looking for places for myself and a “friend “ to hang out and be free together with or in front of other like minded people. Any pools or nice sunrooms in Los Alamos or white rock that are available for afternoon beers and free roaming?

Hello everyone, I am a 23 year old quality engineer in Minnesota who was recently reached out to by a recruiter from the laboratory. She wants me to try and get into a position as a metrologist/CMM engineer in the protype fab division. My issue is, I'm just a young guy without a proper degree (I have certifications that I have gotten over time working in the industry and I do have CMM experience and training) and granted I've been in manufacturing and only manufacturing since graduating high school but I am feeling some imposter syndrome being contacted by such a prestigious institution although it would be an incredible opportunity for me.

Can anyone enlighten me on what it would be like for someone like myself within the prototype fab division? Is it essentially just a manufacturing machine shop? What does education and/or career progression look like within prototype fab? What does relocation assistance look like these days?

Any information is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Enjoy a night out presented by those with massive conflicts of interest bringing us so much good “justice”! Only $150 per ticket!

I’m moving to the area soon, and I have quite a few complex & chronic debilitating health related issues. I was wondering if Los Alamos has a fair amount of practitioners/facilities and how your overall experience has been with them?

Los Alamos EV owners: Can you comfortably drive to Albuquerque and back on a single charge in any weather? If so, what model do you have?

I know plenty of EVs have published range between 250-300 miles, but it's not clear that will hold up in real conditions with our region's terrain and hot and cold weather.

Any info?
