Getting fired sucks! Just asked former FBI Director James Comey who found out on TV that President Trump had fired him. A close second in the “sucking” category to getting fired is looking for a job. Until you finally secure gainful employment, the process can be demeaning, depressing and soul sucking. So we’re here to help former Director Comey. Should you choose to reside in Stanislaus County, here are some places you can find some temp work to make ends meet until you can get on your feet again. I mean, why eat ketchup sandwiches if you don’t have to?

#1. La Cooperativa Campesina de California is looking for laborers to clean storm drains, remove brush, mud, and tree debris, repair levees, roads and public structures all as a result of the massive rains we had over the winter. Click on the link for more information.

#2. If you just need a job for a day or two to pay for smokes and a six-pack consider logging onto Craigslist’s “Labor Gigs” for simple day labor jobs like cutting grass, finishing concrete or a gig with heavy educational requirements like “Welder’s helper” where you “Must be able to read a tape measure”. 

#3. Finally you can just contact any one of the Stanislaus County temporary labor providers ON THIS LIST and become a part of their temporary labor pool. They receive a fee from the companies who need your help (typically a couple of dollars per hour for each hour you work) and then pay you directly. It ensures you semi-regular work that you don’t have to hunt down yourself and saves you time from having to fill out applications at each employer.
