Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Building Code Administrators to find work opportunities?

Veronica Cochran: I would urge graduates to not simply focus on locations or organizations with the highest salary or most job or promotion opportunities. The key to remaining engaged and creating value is finding an organization that supports your core beliefs and values.

Second to that, I believe a support network is vital to one's professional development and success. That being said, I have had the opportunity to engage administrative professionals throughout the United States and across the globe. In particular, I came across larger networks in New York, D.C., Alabama, California, and Texas.

If they are looking for a place to start, I believe Zippia's list of Best States for an Administrative Assistant is a great starting point.
