Jobs in Los Angeles

I realise this may not be the correct place for this sort of post but I thought it worth a try. Last year I travelled from Ireland to spend a month in LA to train at 10th Planet HQ and absolutely loved my entire time in LA, both the training and the city in general. Since then it's been my goal to one day move back to live and having recently graduated from University with a degree in Finance and Investment I've been looking for jobs in LA and even in California in general.

Was just wondering if anyone from that area knows of any jobs going or where would be the correct places to look online for jobs in LA or Cali

Many thanks

LinkedIn was extremely helpful for me in finding a job in the past. It facilitated creating a professional network with the people that I already knew, and helped forge bridges with friends of friends that worked in the same industry. You'd be surprised how much these type of things depend on networking moreso than whatever you can throw on your resume. I would recommend creating a LinkedIn account (if you don't have one already) and leverage this forum to have people follow you. It just so happened that one of the dudes that got me hired did jiu-jitsu and was more amenable to my situash. Even if they're not directly in your industry, a simple introduction to someone in their network who is in your industry is something that (a) Damn near anyone would be willing to do for you and (b) Is about as effective of a direct, meaningful introduction as you can get. It's worked for me and a lot of people I know. Again, even if the people who follow you do jiu jitsu but don't happen to be in your industry, by having access to their network you can troll to see if there are any people that work in a relevant industry then ask the person you know if they could set up an introduction, a phone call, email exchange, etc. It might seem outside of one's comfort zone, but trust me it WORKS.

A lot of destination cities like LA get so many applications for out of town people that you need juice or a really specialized career field to get an interview.

You'll probably have to make the leap of faith, move and find your job

Definitely what Arman said, plus use Indeed.com and http://losangeles.craigslist.org/search/jjj/

I tried doing this last year on the j1 graduate visa. Found it pretty tough going and had to come back unfortunately. I think employers are a bit weary if you are only there for a year. I'd try doing anything I could off the books if I was you aswell. Then again I was in San Diego. Iam sure there is shitloads more work in LA. Let me know how you get on man and best of luck!

There are a lot of vacancies in the service sector in Los Angeles (waiters, janitors, helpers, etc.). There are also a huge number of vacancies for sellers and croupiers. It seems to me that anyone can find work in LA, but the problem is that there are a lot of people who want to find work and therefore the selection of employees is carried out according to very strict criteria. My sister had been preparing for an interview for a long time, and in the end she was told that she had a bad resume and that she was not suitable for this job. So get ready to get rejected :)
And in order for you not to have problems with your resume, I can recommend an excellent site https://themoneymix.com/how-to-write-resume/. There are many samples for resumes and you are sure to write an awesome resume!
