state and federal jobs
I know it was suggested before, but a job in public service is very secure and often hiring: google USAJOBS, or go to: jobs.ca.gov. then pull down the agency list and select each one to see if there are open positions in the multitude of dept's and agencies in our state.
look for a landscaping company that might be hiring. it might be hard work, but they are usually hiring good workers and you get to be outside all the time.
you could also advertise on craigslist to clean people's homes for some money on the side. My roommate's friend started doing this with some success.
I met a girl the other day who got bored at home all the time while her husband was working, so she advertised in her apt/condo complex that she would walk people's dogs, feed their cats, etc. when the owners weren't there. Of course this only works if you trust your neighbors and they trust you, but she said she walks 13 dogs per week!
apply for stocking positions at major retailers: toy-r-us, target, walmart, etc. I worked as a stock guy at bath and body works years ago and ended up networking with other stores while on the job, resulting in a second stocking job with a neighboring mall shop.
UPS? my friend says they hire often, but i have no experience with them.
If you go fast food: In-n-Out, Chick-fil-a, subway, togo's, jersey mike's.
the first thing i would probably try is getting hired at my local turner's outdoorsman! get your guns back OP!!!
Costco. Though its probably competitive, but worth it since you have some education under your belt.
I have a buddy who works for a chevron gas station during graveyard shifts and he says they always look for good grave yard people.
These are all suggestions that I would pursue personally if I had the need. Good Luck though OP, I searched for a job constantly for over a year before finding anything in my field. any longer, and I would have been going down this list (not necessarily in this order...)
If I think of some other good ones, I'll update. I did work for a temp agency once called Corelink, but not sure if they are still around.
