Answer 1 :
I worked at Legacy Emanuel Hospital as an admitter. It was a really good job for me at the time. I was in college and they were very flexible with the hours because patients are admitted 24hr/day 7 days/week. They pay pretty well too. The website posts pay scales which is helpful if you're relocating. Other area hospitals hire for the same thing depending on where you want to live. www.legacyhealth.org www.providence.org www.kaiserpermanentejobs.org www.adventisthealthnw.com www.ohsu.edu/hr/irc
Answer 2 :
I don't have any specific suggestions. Look on portland.craigslist.org and www.oregonlive.com for general job listings, however. I would start sending you resume now though. The good thing about Portland being hot is that we have lots of interesting people moving here. The bad thing is that a lot of those people are reasonably well educated and therefore the job market at the level you're talking about is pretty competitive.
Answer 3 :
School districts might be a good place to look. There are agencies that provide services to school districts as well. Some local districts/agencies include: Portland Public Schools, Centennial School District, David Douglas School District, Parkrose School District, Reynolds School District and Gresham School District. Also, Multnomah Education Service District and Clackamas Education Service District. Working for schools is great as you get good benefits and decent pay. If you google those places, you should be able to find the HR department on line and look for any positions. Good luck.
