About need to find work ASAP in Portland, OR

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!

How about Mexico.
Answer 2 :
Check out the website Visa Journey. If you ask there, someone is sure to help out. They have online guides and examples to help you out as well. http://www.visajourney.com General and frequently asked questions can usually be found on the United States Immigration Services website: http://www.uscis.gov If you need specific help with papers, most immigration offices do not help fill out paperwork, that is when you have to get an attorney, which can be costly.

About live In Vancouver, WA commute to Portland, WA or Live in Portland work in Portland

Live In Vancouver, WA commute to Portland, WA or Live in Portland work in Portland?
My husband and I live in central WA (small town) with our 3 young sons(our oldest will be starting school next years) and I am unable to find work in our small town or surrounding areas. I am a Medical Assistant and received many job opportunities in Portland, OR. Which is fine we are willing to relocate (my husband is a truck driver, he can pretty much find a job anywhere we go). We like our kids to be in a small town so I was wondering with housing costs, and stuff which place was the best for us to live Vancouver or Portland ??

Answer 1 :
I lived in the Portland area for 13 years. I think it has many advantages over Vancouver. In particular is the flat vehicle registration and no sales tax. Cities on the south side to consider are Aloha, Hillsbourough, and Tigard. I lived in Aloha. You could consider Gresham on the Northeast side of Portland but I thought it was too far away from Portland. Now if you want to live in an old and friendly neighbor hood you can choose to look at homes just over the Burnside Bridge in Southeast Portland. You will find diverse neighborhoods of independent hippie types and familiy orientated Italians. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Answer 1 :
In general, a minor must be at least 14 years old to work in non-agricultural employment in Oregon. There are special regulations that apply to the employment of minors in agriculture. In rare circumstances, the Oregon Wage and Hour Commission may allow younger individuals to work. Minors under 14 years of age may not be employed in any enterprise subject to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, in any establishment where alcoholic beverages are dispensed or served, in any theater or amusement park, in any work that involves the minor in canvassing door to door, or in any establishment catering to adults only. Parents may employ their children under 16 years of age in occupations other than manufacturing or mining, or occupations declared hazardous by the US Department of Labor. For more information, please contact the Bureau of Labor and Industries. Minors Under 14 are required to obtain an individual work permit.

Answer 1 :
There used to be a HUGE high tech job market here, but much of that and other production/manufacturing got outsourced to asia/india when Bush took office.
Answer 2 :
DUDE if you can find a job here then your not looking for work But I would go to central oregon fun town Bend oregon and a lot of need for your skills
Answer 3 :
Job market was terrible for a few years after 9/11, but it's better here now. Best industries here are apparel (Nike/Adidas/Columbia), Technology (Intel), Housing/construction, health care, and professional services. There is a decent manufacturing base here too but China is crushing the US in this field everywhere, Portland included. Forestry and agriculture were #1 here until the 80's. For your field I would follow the construction. That means Portland suburbs, Bend, and Medford/Ashland. Good luck!
Answer 4 :
Plenty of your kinda work here. My cousin does the same work, but I don't know where just yet. Places are too picky for qualifications than I have. GED, Forklift esp, drivers lic., valid drivers license w/car. I don't have these things, and I don't plan to. I don't need them.
