Englishman in San Diego (Corona, Coronado: hotels, find a job, restaurants)

[Stu153]

Hi,

I am coming to San Diego in June 2009 for the summer until the end of September and i am currently looking for a full time position as a bartender or waiter/server. I am from England, United Kingdom and i have vast experience in the restaurant industry.

I have good local knowledge of Southern California and san diego having spent a lot of time over there the past couple of years so adjustment would not be a problem.

Would be willing to consider all types of work at all different types of venues from Bars, Clubs, Hotels, Restaurants, etc.

But i have emailed at lot of bars and retaurants without any response, does anyone have any contacts or ideas about obtaining work over the summer period, i have also looked at pedicabs but they seem to have a bad reputation....so am not to sure about that at the moment.

Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks for your time and i look forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheers,

Stuart.

You'll have to find a job when you get here. San Diego is primarily a tourist and resort city so there is tremendous competition for those jobs. Focus on the large hotels, resorts, and fine dining establishments in La Jolla, Downtown San Diego, Coronado, etc.

Probably have to give it a miss then as i need to have pre arranged work to meet the terms of my visa, thanks for the info.
