In trying to help others who have found themselves unemployed, I am going to start posting the open recruitment job announcements I receive here at work. I work for the City of Portland here in Oregon, and any “open recruitments” are just that – open to all applicants.
Being a public entity, you should be able to research any of these jobs at the links provided. I wish I could do more for those who are in need but I’ll try to do what I can. Decent pay and health benefits are included. The only real catch: you have to be willing to come to Portland, Oregon.
Hey, it’s not bad. We have decent weather several months out of the year, coffee shops both hither AND yon, and music festivals pretty much all throughout the summer.
Good luck.
