Local Jobs:
Looking for something in your area? Well don’t worry, here are a ton of ways you can specify your search to a specific area. Check Craigslist or LinkedIn, search under ‘jobs’ and select the filters to select your area. The only jobs that will pop up are the ones in the place you specify!

Think of the places and things that are specific to your area. Odds are, they are the ones that are hiring the most. If you are in San Francisco, there are hundreds of tech companies looking for bright new talent to take under their belt. Look into being an analyst or researcher – it is basically just being a professional Googler. If you are in LA, there are hundreds of people that help make a movie come together, so there is always something out there in production, editing, sound, makeup, style, or even being an extra.
If you are not looking for corporate jobs, think about the places in your area that most likely have a high turnover rate. In Anaheim, Disneyland is always looking for people to run register in the restaurants, walk around in a character suit, or make the rides go ‘round. Along the coast, lifeguards are always needed. Consider the restaurants, theme parks, fairs, or other forms of local flavor that might need a little extra hand.
