Part-Time/Summer Employment Options

[Saffy]

I feel a tad desperate posting this topic, but I'm hopeful some advice might be found.

For the past year I have taken a financially-difficult path in order to obtain relevant work experience. I have worked as an intern for nearly seven months and as a Teacher's Assistant for two semesters. Prior to that I had been looking for work, even a part-time job, with no success; though, I did have a few interviews with game companies. As it stands now, I have finished my Teacher's Assistant contract and am without a source of income. I am looking for a part- or full-time job to last me from May until September.

Thus far I have had no response. While this is only my third week of searching, I can't help being stressed due to my current financial situation. Padding my resume forced me to go with next to no income for a year. Quite simply, I need some sort of employment this month lest I run into serious problems.

Would anyone happen to have any advice for my situation? Is anyone having or has had a similar circumstance?

I've also been looking for a job for the past few weeks, and yes it is very hard. I suggest you either try applying to the bigger stores that could easily use people, such as a department store or grocery store, apply to smaller businesses that could use the help (be careful with this though because you don't want to get by a small company that could easily go out of business), and then see if any friends or family could connect you to something at their work for at least the summer. Best of luck to you Saffaroo. ;)
