Need to find work ASAP in Portland, OR!!!?
I have the worse luck lately with my job hunt!!! I have had a string of bad luck with jobs, and keep goggling start jobs ASAP but it's really not working. I want a good stable career. At the moment my husband makes 8 dollars an hour, and loves his job, and we're OK at the moment. Can someone please tell where to look, or any places hiring immediately in the Portland, OR area?

Answer 1 :
In my experience, the only worthwhile places to job-hunt around here are at the employment department (lots of good resources) and on Oregonlive.com (Oregonian). I have tried a ridiculous number of other job search engines, seen scams on Monster.com, and keep coming back to these 2 resources. Go to your nearest employment division office and ask for some referrals. You can also use this program called iMatch which will match your skills with jobs. If you have experience in customer service, collections, and/or a call center, there are several large call centers around including Netflix, Google, and Yahoo. If you're in a hurry to get working, temp agencies can also be a lifesaver. Good luck.
Answer 2 :
I would go to a few employment agencies so they can interview you and start matching you up with employers...I found a list of some that you can call and inquire and see if they are close to you, good luck!
