How can I find a great job in about 3-4 Weeks in CA or the West Coast?

Question

I have a college degree (honors) in Econ. and a law degree from an ABA school. I'd like to get a good office job that pays at least $40 K a year.

Please help if you can. If you have any advice or are looking for a great job candidate with high level intelligence (National Merit Finalist), great attititude, extensive office experience, and excellent writing skills let me know. Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Have you tried an employment agency?

Most don't charge anything. (the employer pays them)

Answer 2

Personally, I would post a resume on all of the various job web sites and indicate your interest in working on the west coast. My personal favorites are Dice.com, Monster.com and Jobs.Yahoo.com. You can also sent up 'Job agents' to alert you to the jobs available in cities you're interested in.

I found a job in Seattle this way, and was hired and working in less than 2 weeks. It paid significantly more than $40 K and my qualifications weren't quite as impressive as yours. I'm sure you have no problem finding a position. Just be selective and find someplace that meets your personal needs as well as your income needs. You want to work there at least 6 months to a year before you find a new position if you don't like it.
