Mor Furniture For Less (Jobs)

Mor Furniture For Less has at least two showrooms in the San Diego area
and one warehouse.  They hire for sales consultants, delivery drivers, warehouse
assistants and customer service.  There is an e-mail address online at their
website where you can send your resume.  I didn't see a list of open positions. 
I am assuming from their website that they accept applications for the jobs I
listed on an on-going basis.  They have stores in seven states so there is a
possibility that you could relocate once you work for them.

AMC Entertainment (Jobs)

AMC theatres hire for a number of jobs.  Some of the jobs they hire for are
concessionist, usher, cashier, supervisor, and booth crew member.  There are
approximately six AMC theatres within fifteen miles of the 92101 area code. 
You can apply online at their website, but I would look online to see which
theatres are hiring and go there in person.  I think applying in person is always
better than applying online unless the company offers no other option.  It would
be fun to work in a movie theatre and get to be an expert on the current movies!

Vons/Safeway/Pavilions (Jobs)

Vons, Safeway and Pavillions are all owned by the same company. 
There are 285 stores in Southern California.  That means jobs!  You
can apply at their website or many of the stores offer application
stations in the store where you can apply.  If I were searching for a job
at one of these stores, I would locate the stores closest to me on their
website and then go and apply at those stores in person.  Besides
the checking and bagging jobs, grocery stores usually have a bakery,
florist, butcher, and some even have a coffee shop where you can apply
for open positions.

Fashion Valley Mall (Jobs)

Fashion Valley Mall has over 200 stores and restaurants.  Their website
has a job board on it, but if you are interested in working there I would
suggest you go in person to apply to the stores or restaurants where you
would like to work.  When I checked, the job board only had three stores
listed as hiring.  It is hard to believe with all those stores that only three of
them are hiring.  A better guess is that very few stores list their openings on
the mall's main web page.  If you don't feel like taking a trip to the mall to
apply you can also go to the individual store's websites and apply online
(to those stores that offer their application online).    Some of the stores you
will find at this mall are Neiman Marcus, Macy's, Sax Fifth Avenue,
Bloomingdales, and many more.  The mall also has a Cheesecake Factory
and California Pizza Kitchen.

YMCA (Jobs)

The YMCA has approximately thirteen locations in or around San Diego, and
they hire for a wide variety of positions.  They have camp counselors, social
workers, clerical, membership (customer service), fitness professionals, childcare
workers, etc.  Most of the branches, have a website where they list their job openings.   
The Downtown YMCA
YMCA Youth and Family Services
Mission Valley Family YMCA
Copley Family YMCA
Jackie Robinson Family Branch YMCA
Peninsula Family YMCA
Childcare Resources Services Department YMCA
San Diego Armed Services YMCA
YMCA of San Diego County
La Jolla Family YMCA
East County YMCA
South Bay Family YMCA
Rancho Family YMCA

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (Jobs)

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has many stores in the San Diego area.  If you
go to their website  click on careers in the upper left hand corner.  On the
next page you can click on hourly positions and then you can click on the
positions they are hiring for.  The two positions listed when I visited their
site were barista and shift supervisor.  There was a little box on the site that
said most of their locations are always accepting applications for shift
supervisor.  I got to the page where I could type in state, city and zip code. 
I typed in 92103 (Hillcrest) and fourteen stores were listed as accepting
applications for barista positions.  If you are looking for customer service
work and you like coffee, I would check them out! 

Monday, January 25, 2010

Horton Plaza (Jobs)

Horton Plaza has over 130 stores including places to eat.  Their website lists
all the stores, restaurants, and other services available.  If you are looking for
an entry level or assistant management position, it is worth a trip to Horton Plaza
to fill out some applications.  My advice is to bring a master application with you
(a general application that you fill out in advance) so you have all of your education
and work history in front of you.  Also bring a few good pens.  At Horton Plaza
you will find Macy's, Nordstrom, Pac Sun, Abercrombie & Fitch, Panda Express,
Starbucks, La Salsa, Hot Dog On A Stick, and many more.  You could easily spend
a day filling out applications at this mall, so wear comfortable shoes, but ones that still
look professional in case you meet the manager. 

San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD)

The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) lists their job openings on
their website and on their jobline at 619-725-8117.  When I visited the site
there were over twenty jobs listed.  Some of the positions they were looking
to fill were budget analyst, director of transportation service, elementary school
assistant, food service worker, instructional assistant, lead police dispatcher, etc. 
The link I provided takes you to the non-teaching jobs.  There is another
link for teaching jobs.  You can apply to one of the vacant position right online.

San Diego County Credit Union

When I checked the website of San Diego County Credit Union they
were hiring for three different positions.  One was a teller position, another
was a training position, and the third was a financial analyst.  So, banks
also offer some diversity in employment opportunities.  Of course they don't
have as many positions as the large hotel or resorts (a good choice for entry
level positions and management trainee positions).  San Diego County Credit
Union also offers a twenty four hour jobline.  The number for the jobline is
858-453-6941.  I tried callling the jobline to see if the positions listed were the
same as the website, but the number was busy. 

Saturday, January 23, 2010

La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club (Jobs)

The La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club has, like many of the resorts I have
already listed, many amenities so there are a wide variety of jobs in serveral
different departments.  Just in terms of restaurants they have Club Dining, the
Marine Room, and the Shores Restaurant.  The resort sits on twelve acres,
has ninety eight guest rooms, has space for meetings and events, and it has
the tennis club.  All that translates into jobs! 

Friday, January 22, 2010

Entertainment/Media (Jobs)

San Diego is not L.A.  In San Diego you can't find the same entertainment
opportunities that you can find in Los Angeles, but we do have a few
entertainment/media jobs.  KFMB lists their jobs online and on their jobline
at 858-495-8640.  KGTV also lists their openings online and on their
jobline at 619-237-6250.  I couldn't find a listing for job openings on
the KNSD website but they have a jobline at 619-578-0525.  I listened
to their jobline recording (no current positions) and it said to visit
gecareers.com for current updates.  I went to gecareers.com and it is the
job site for all of General Electric (including NBC).  It is worth a look!
For jobs at the San Diego Union Tribune you can call 619-293-1001.
I went to the Tribune's website and it linked to Monster.com.

Thursday, January 21, 2010

SeaWorld (Jobs)

SeaWorld is another place that I think would be a fun place to work.  Most
of the jobs there are dealing with the public and I imagine most people are in
a good mood when they are visiting SeaWorld.  I could be wrong though.  If
any of you have any experience with working at SeaWorld please post it in
the comments section.  When I checked their website they were hiring for
costume characters, performers, educators and resident camp counselor.  I
assume they also hire for sales people in their gift shops, restaurant help, ticket
sales, etc.

Loews Coronado Bay Resort (Jobs)

When I checked the Loews Coronado Bay Resort website they
were hiring for nine different positions.  They also have a Jobline
that is really helpful.  The Jobline number is 619-424-4480.  On
the Jobline it says to come in to fill out an application.  I mention
that because I still believe the best way to get a job is to fill out an
application in person.   Again, this is a large resort with lots of
amenities which spells jobs!  They have positions in security,
marketing, restaurant, bar, guest services, etc.  It is kind of cool too,
because all the hotels in this group are practicing eco-friendly
policies so it is a place you can feel good about working.  There is
a ferry that runs from downtown to Coronado, and commuters
ride free.

Hotel del Coronado (Jobs)

The Hotel del Coronado has a Jobline that you can call to find out
about their open positions.  The number is 619-522-8158.  You
can also check their website .  The last time I checked their website
they had thirteen positions open.  The resort is huge with 65,000
square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting and exhibition space (meaning
they have to have a sales staff, event coordinators, catering staff, etc),
an indoor shopping mall and restaurants.  There are positions available
in administration, housekeeping, guest services, the shops, etc.  There
is a ferry that runs from downtown to Coronado and commuters ride
free.

Cox Communications (Jobs)

Cox Communications is another company that has a variety of jobs that
they need to fill.  They have very technical jobs like a network operations
technician, and they have administrative and sales jobs (inbound sales
representative).  When I searched their website I didn't see any jobs for
the San Deigo area until I used San Diego as a keyword, and in the
posted category I selected  "anytime".  Searching this way brought up a
job in San Diego.  I suggest playing around with how you search jobs on
this website. 

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Viejas Casino (Jobs)

Viejas is more than just a casino.  It also has an outlet mall, a couple of
restaurants, a lounge, coffee bar, cafe, and concerts.  That means there
are a wide variety of jobs that they must fill.  Viejas has its own bus that
goes from several locations in San Diego a few times daily.  I will try to
find out if employees are allowed to take the bus to get to and from work. 
If they are, this makes working at Viejas far more appealing.  If you do get
a job there, make sure not to lose your paycheck at the slot machines! 
You can search job openings here.

Paradise Point Resort & Spa (Jobs)

Paradise Point Resort & Spa is a forty four acre luxury resort with a hotel,
restaurant, conference rooms, full service spa, and gift shop.  There are a
wide variety of jobs available at the resort and most of them are listed on
their website.  They hire room attendants, laundry attendants, cooks, bussers,
greeters, dishwashers, gift shop sales associates, front desk agents, etc.  You
can apply to all their open positions online.  The property is located about ten
minutes from downtown on beautiful Mission Bay.

The Zoo and Wild Animal Park (Jobs)

I think working at the Zoo or Wild Animal Park would be fun.  I heard from
one of my clients that at the Wild Animal Park they do group interviews.  She
said she was asked what she would do if someone complained about paying $3
to $4 for a Coke.  Maybe, one of my readers can come up with a good answer
to that question, and post it in the comment section.  Usually, you can apply
online to both the Zoo and Wild Animal Park .   At certain times of the year
(when they are getting ready for summer) they hold open interviews on a first
come first serve basis.  I have heard that these event draw large crowds and it
is best to get there several hours early, because they cut off the interviews at a
certain number of people.

Higher Education (Jobs)

There are many colleges and universities in the San Diego area, and they hire
for a wide variety of jobs.  They hire  for food service, administration, teaching,
medical, human resources, development, libraries, custodial, all kinds of research
positions, admissions, etc.  If you are interested in working in higher education
there are two great websites to start your search.  HigherEdJobs and HERC.
The best way to search for a job on HigherEdJobs is to start by clicking on
Search Jobs, then click on Advanced Search, then choose up to thirty positions
in the Job Category (hold down on the shift key to select more than one position),
choose California for State, then type in San Diego as a Keyword.  Doing this will
get you a list of jobs in San Diego or close to San Diego.  If you don't do this you
may end up with a list that will keep you busy all day!  Searching on HERC is a
little bit easier.  After you click on Job Listings, you can scroll down to the bottom
of the page and you will see a place where you can choose San Diego.  I leave
everything else blank and just choose the San Diego option and then I can see
all the jobs open in the San Diego area.

QUALCOMM Stadium (work and volunteer)

There are many jobs, and various agencies responsible for the hiring
at QUALCOMM Stadium.  If you are a current job seeker the following
agencies are worth a look, because they have many opportunities.  If you

or custodial job you can see job openings, and apply for those openings
at the City of San Diego's Employment Information Center at the
Civic Center Plaza 1200 3rd Avenue, Suite 101A San Diego, CA 92101
or you can call the Jobline at 619-682-1011.  If you are looking for an
awesome volunteer opportunity to put on your resume, you can contact

Volunteer to Beef Up Your Resume

If you are currently out of work, it is a good idea to spend some of your time
volunteering.  Volunteering can give you some recent experience to put on your
resume, and you can learn new skills or practice some skills you already have.
Choose your volunteer experience wisely.  Make sure you pick an organization
that you would like to work for (in case your volunteering works into a job
offer).  Also, choose a volunteer opportunity that will give you a chance to
learn new skills, or that uses skills that you would like to use in a new job.
Finally, make sure you pick an organization that inspires you.  If you are
passionate about the environment maybe you should volunteer with
I Love A Clean San Diego or if you want to raise awareness about domestic
violence, or homelessness you could volunteer at the YWCA of San Diego 
County .  Here are a couple of links to get you started researching
volunteer opportunities in San Diego.

Idealist

Volunteer San Diego

Non Profit and Socially Conscious Work

You don't have to be a social worker to work for a non profit organization. 
There are many different types of jobs in a non profit agency.   Some of the
jobs that non profits hire for are grant writer, executive assistant, residential
workers, employment specialists, human resources, program managers, social
workers, receptionist, volunteer coordinator, event planner, etc.   You can find
some of these jobs listed at Idealist .   Many non profit organizations have been hit
hard by the recession,  but they still seem to be posting jobs on a regular basis.
A local (San Diego) place to look for non profit jobs is NPWorks.  It is possible
to collect a paycheck, and do something great for a good cause!

Airline Jobs

This website lists the airlines that serve San Diego International Airport. 
Once you are on the web site, there is a link to each airline's web page. 
Click on the link and look for the word "careers" or "employment" and
click on that.  These words are usually near the bottom of the page.  Look
around a little bit because each site is different.  Once you have located
where the airline lists its career information, there is usually a search feature
and you can search for open positions in San Diego.  I applied for an entry
level customer service position with an airline once and was asked to a group
interview.  I made it to the next to last cut - not good enough!  I think my
major problem was I was having difficulty accounting for the last ten years
of employment.  If you get an interview with an airline expect to have to show
what you have been doing for the last ten years - school, jobs, etc.  If you are
just out of high school or college they won't require this information from you. 
Also, if you fill out an application online for an airline, expect to take a personality
test -takes ten to twenty minutes.  They use the test as a way to screen applicant
so it is important how you answer.  Answer the questions on the test in terms of
being a good employee.  Remember, they are asking you these question to
evaluate how you would perform/behave on the job. 

Federal Employment

USAJOBS is a one stop shop for government jobs (federal employment). 
At the home page you can type in San Diego, CA and get a list of all federal
jobs available in San Diego and the surrounding area.  There is a possibility
you will see jobs listed with the Navy, the Army, National Parks, etc.  Any
federal agency that is hiring in the San Diego area will have a listing.  It is a
wonderful resource.  I know several people who have been hired by putting
their applications in to jobs listed on this site.  It can be a long process though. 
Getting hired on with a federal agency can take one to several months.  Besides
the great benefits like health insurance, vacation, retirement, etc. you can often
move between federal agencies and to different cities once you get hired.  There
are even jobs overseas!

Department of the Navy, Civilian Human Resources

Working for the Navy as a civilian can be great.  The benefits are
good (health insurance, retirement, vacation, holidays, training, etc.). 
A good place to start your search for a one of these jobs is at the
Department of the Navy, Civilian Human Resources.  If the link
seems to be broken it isn't.  When I try to open this page on my
computer it says that the certificate is not trusted or the web page
is suspect.  If this happens to you, just press the option of going
to the web site any way (the browser will probably list that this is
not recommended - I do it anyway, it is a government site!  I think
it can be trusted).

Scripps Health (Jobs)

Scripps Health was named to Fortune Magazine's 2009 "100 Best
Companies to Work For List."  If you are a mental health consumer,
you can look into A-Visions Vocational Training Program .  People
with psychiatric disorders can participate in the training program and
it can lead to employment.   

For other job seekers Scripps offers a chance to chat with one of their
recruiters.  The chat is scheduled every Friday from 1:00 - 3:00

Marine Corps Community Services - MCRD San Diego

An excellent place to apply for work is Marine Corps Community
Services at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD).  In order to
get past the gate you will first need to be put on a "Depot Access List."
You can sign up to be put on the list from their web site.   In order to
drive on the depot you will need a driver's license, vehicle registration,
and vehicle insurance.  I recommend applying in person at human
resources, just make sure you read the requirements and follow the
directions in order to assure access to the depot. 

Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Navy (Jobs)

Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) for Navy Region Southwest
is an excellent place to put in an application.  They are usually accepting
applications for housekeepers, laborers, food service workers, clerical,
recreation assistants, childcare, etc.  I recommend going to their office
and filling out their application in person, because they have a listing at
their office of all available openings.  Be aware that their application is
long and detailed so be prepared with your work and education history. 
You can find their address listed on their web site.

Career Fair (February 5th) and Other Dates

A great way to find out about companies in San Diego is to attend a career fair. 
At the last career fair I went to many of the companies weren't hiring, but they
told me when they would be hiring, and what the process was for getting hired
with their organization.  I was sorry I didn't bring enough resumes with me,
because the one place (Federal Government) that I really wanted to get hired
at was accepting applications for a position I was qualified for.  This was a big
mistake on my part, because usually the application process with the Federal
Government is conducted online, and in this case a person was actually accepting
resumes.  Don't make the mistake I did - bring plenty of copies of your resume! 


Date:  Friday, February 5  (and other dates) 

Location:  San Diego Convention Center
111 West Harbor Drive
San Diego, CA 92101

Time:  11:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Registration Form  other dates listed. 

Employment Resources in San Diego (211)

211 has over 300 listings for employment services in San Diego.  It is the
 place to start any job search in San Diego, because you can find out exactly
what services are available to you as a job seeker.  211 has listings for
employment services from a variety of agencies.  There are agencies listed
that assist seniors, disabled, veterans, active duty military (and their spouses),
mental health consumers, and other job seekers.  You can find agencies that
offer computer labs (a place to conduct your job search), counselors,
employment developers,  vocational services, career assessments, etc.  This
web site is worth a look!

Interviewing

Landing an interview with a company is a huge accomplishment.  Some
companies receive hundreds of resumes for a single job.  Here are some
resources to help prepare you to do your best at an interview.  Preparing
for an interview can be the difference between getting a job offer and not
getting one.  I ask clients to write down their answers to some common
interview questions so that they will have an organized and concise answer
if they are asked that particular question.  I also conduct practice interviews.
See if you can get a friend or family member to role play an interview with
you.  You can get the questions for the role play from the last link listed below. 

Interviewing video

Interview dos and don'ts

10 most common interview questions

Interview questions and answers

Department of Rehabilitation (for those with a disability)

If you have a disability, the Department of Rehabilitation or DOR may
be able to assist you with any of the following (or a combination of these
services) training, education, transportation, and/or job placement.  Take
a look around their web site, or call them to see if you qualify for their services.

Clothing

You are going to need one to two nice business outfits for going on interviews,
and when you get hired you might just need a whole new wardrobe.   Don't panic. 
It doesn't need to cost you a fortune to dress nicely.  Here are some thrift stores
(second hand stores) where you can find both new and gently used clothing. 
If you don't like the idea of used clothing you can find very nice clothes that are
reasonably priced at a Ross.

Thrift Stores in San Diego County:

City Digz

AMVETS

Great Curves

Goodwill Industries  (has over ten stores in San Diego County)

Baras Foundation  (has seven thrift stores in San Diego County)

Deseret Industries

More thrift stores

Transportation

If you have a car, don't forget the added expense and the problem of parking in
San Diego.  If you are going to a career center, to an interview, or you are starting
your new job, give yourself plenty of time to find parking.  A better bet, and probably
a better deal, is to take Metropolitan Transit System or MTS.  You can type in your
location and destination on their web site and you will be able to print out four different
routes to your destination.  Remember to type your trip in reverse to so you will know
which bus or trolley to take on your return trip.  If you are connected with a social service
in San Diego, it is possible that they will provide you with bus tokens or a bus pass. 
Currently, the cost for an adult monthly pass is $72.  A monthly pass for senior and
disabled is $18.  To get a disabled bus pass you need to take a photo ID and a letter
from your doctor to the transit station.  At the transit station they will issue you a disabled
ID that you need to carry with you to buy your bus pass and to ride the busses and trolley.

Free Classes and Job Training

San Diego Community College District offers hundreds of free classes as a part
of their Continuing Education.  They have ten convenient campus locations from
Miramar to Ocean View Boulevard.  They offer hundreds of free classes and
many free job training programs.  The free classes range from computer classes
to Tai Chi.  There are twenty free job training programs (certificate programs)
offered.  The certificate programs are in culinary arts, automotive, business,
computers, and metal trades.  There really is something for everyone, and
these programs and classes can give you just the skills you need to land your
next job!

Goodwill Industries of San Diego County (Jobs)

Goodwill Industries seems to have something for almost every job seeker. 
They offer five Employment Centers .  In order to utilize the services at the
Employment Centers (meeting with an Employment Specialist, using the computer
lab, faxes, etc) you will have to bring your driver's license or California ID,
and your Social Security card.  They also suggest you bring your resume if
you have one.  Goodwill hires workers, helps workers find training at other
agencies in San Diego County, trains workers with developmental disabilities,
and assists job seekers with their job search.  A great place to go if you are just
starting your job search or if you need the help of a professional to give new life
to your job searching strategy.

Resume

I was at a job developer's meeting where Rosanna Indie was the guest speaker.
If you have the chance to attend an event where she will be speaking, I highly
recommend that you go.  One thing she said about resumes is that the top three
to four inches of the resume is "prime real estate."  What she meant was, use
that space to really highlight your skills because it may be the only part of your
resume that gets looked at.  You really have to sell yourself there.  In that space
on my resume I list five sentences about what I would bring to an organization
- using my accomplishments to do so.  There are a variety of good ways to use
 that space, just remember to use it wisely and creatively!

Here is a great video to get you started on thinking about what you want your
resume to say:

Video on Sales, Marketing and the Writing of a Resume

Once again I am using a link to Susan Ireland's site.  She wrote the book
"The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Resume."   90 Sample Resumes

Career Centers (San Diego Workforce Partnership)

If you want to get a real boost to your job search, you should utilize the
services of one of the eleven Career Centers that are a part of San Diego
Workforce Partnership. The eleven Career Centers are spread throughout
San Diego County so most likely you will find one near you. At the Career
Centers you can use the computers for your job search. They also conduct
workshops on resume writing and interviewing, and if you qualify they can
set you up with job training. They have special programs for youth, people
with disabilities, war veterans, military personnel and their spouses. In order
to sign up for services you must have your Social Security card, and your
driver's license or California ID. It is best to go early in the morning so you
can get an appointment without a long wait. Don't forget those two forms of
ID!

Cover Letter Resources

Most cover letters today are actually e-mails, or a box to fill in on a web site,
but don't drop the formality of the traditional cover letter just because there is
no actual piece of paper. You should still use proper English and not text
messaging short cuts. Don't assume that a hiring manager knows what lol
(laugh out loud), kit (keep in touch) or other short cuts mean. Along the same
line, don't use trendy spellings for words like gunna for going to, or cuz for
because. Treat an introductory e-mail (cover letter) as a formal document.
You are more likely to get your resume read and be asked in for an interview
if you stick to these few simple rules.

Here are some resources for writing a good cover letter:

Staffing and Temp. Agencies (Part I)

There are many benefits to starting out with a staffing or temporary agency.
The biggest benefit is that they can help you to start working. Other benefits
have to do with flexibility, having a job that might lead to a permanent position,
and having current experience to show on your resume. San Diego has many
such agencies. I will list some of them here in a three part series. I suggest you
research each company before contacting them to find out if you are a good fit.
Please be aware that each of these agencies operates a little differently and it is
up to you to understand what your responsibilities are if you sign on with them.
