Census Bureau Hiring Thousands for $9 to $19.25 an Hour

Looking for a job in San Antonio?  Well the Census Bureau is hiring big time.  The Census Bureau has released press announcements through the radio, newspaper, and Internet.  1000s of jobs are open and pay scale ranges based on your qualifications.  Randstat is also currently hiring for the month of January.  Randstat is a temp agency and is paying decently at $12/hr or more.  Although the economy is downtrodden, it appears as if the San Antonio job market is still alive and well with these two entities offering loads of jobs.

What has frustrated a lot of online job seekers is most websites end up funnelling to Monster, Career Builder, and Yahoo Hot Jobs.  These places usually rehash the same insurance and sales type of jobs that aren’t specific to anything most are looking for.  Stated another way, rarely is anything fresh.  I’m not sure about this, but my impression is they’re charging too much to post jobs their and its driving away potential posters.

San Antonio Temporary Jobs

If you’re looking for a Christmas job in San Antonio to gather some extra cash this holiday season, there are several options you may want to consider.  James Avery – the jewelry store – is always looking for good help during the holiday season rush.  Target and Wal-Mart may also be hiring on a temporary basis to tame the crowds.  Additionally, try scouring North Star Mall and the Central Park Mall (well former mall) shopping center.  Central Park is rapidly developing and has several new stores.  North Star is always packed for Christmas.  Furthermore, try Christmas specialty stores.  There is one near the Bitters and West Avenue that is looking for holiday help.  If nothing else, be on the lookout for stores that are very crowded during Christmas or very new or developing places that will likely be looking to fill out their roster sheet.
