I am leaving for Florida next month and am very concerned about employment opportunities....?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but school system jobs are just not out there right now...orange county actually is going through layoffs in their schools right now. So, beyond cafeteria ladies - not much is out there in that venue. BUT that doesn't mean their aren't jobs. There is always retail and tourist places like the theme parks hiring. Go to careerbuilder website and put in Orlando, FL and look at what is being advertised currently and you will get a good idea of what may be out there for you.

BEST wishes!!! Economy is tough everywhere right now. I would create the best resume you can and go ahead and start submitting it now before you get to FL to possible companies so when you get here you can interview and/or follow up on resumes...not be starting brand new.

I have been unemployed for about a year....I have only found temp for for about 2 months....NO JOBS here. I live in St Pete and my county is #4 in unemployment and job loss in the country......If you are old here your job search will be 10 times as hard. They don't hire people over 40!!! My friend who was 22, just out of college got job teaching special ed for 26K.....Bad pay here, high cost of living. Stay away from the Tampa area. Perhaps Jacksonville or Pensacola area....I can't even pay my rent this month so if I can afford gas I will leave everything behind and go back to the Midwest!.

How old are you? If you're over 10 years old you should not have this separation anxiety. It's just for 3 days!

Get on Monster.com People here are struggling and there are no free handouts bro... I would try to get a job were you are and then transfer...
