United, Mayflower, Quality Service Moving are a couple of companies to look at. With all the military personnel in the area there are always people relocating. Just my two.....

What kind of jobs are we talking about in these moving companies?

I felt like a temp job would be my best bet since I have such a huge unemployment gap in my resume after being in school for awhile without working, then dropping out of school.

I've been in Southern California for about 3 months now, and i've joined about 4 temp agencies. Unfortunately I haven't found anything yet, so it seems to be a problem everywhere...

As hard as it is to find a permanent job, the temp jobs seem to be even scarcer. Many would not mind out of town assignments for a few months, but they expect you to be there for a few years. I thought temp employment is the first to pick up.
