Knoxville Tennessee

Hi all. My wife and I are looking to make contacts in the Knoxville Tennessee area. We spent a weekend there several years ago and fell in love with the area. It just felt like home to both of us. We have wanted to move there ever since and have not been able to. Our situation has changed in the last few months, and it seems that I need to find a new job. It only makes sense to look for one in the area where we want to live. So I'm wondering if there are any permies in and around Knoxville that can point me in the direction of some places that I can look. I'm using all the job finder sites and Craigslist so that may turn something up. (Been using them for years. Nothing yet) I used to do chemical treatments on lawns for trugreen, and going back to lawncare is out of the question. I'm not looking for anyone to offer me a job, just some recommendations of places to look for work.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
