Blogging Mt Hood: Oregon Jobs Hiring in the Mt Hood and Surrounding Areas

Many people assume that living in a small town means that there are no jobs, but this is not always the case. Sometimes it is just a matter of what you are willing to do to earn money. No funny stuff here, just legitimate job offers and suggestions, and some real solutions to earning money while living in the small towns and villages in the Mt. Hood area as well as Sandy, Gresham, Troutdale, Portland, and other surrounding areas. During the winter months, there are many tourists and visitors to the Mount Hood area, so if you're out of work, it's a great time to look for work in the resorts, restaurants, and stores along Highway 26 heading out towards the mountains. What many people don't realize is that working for minimum wage is better than staying home for zero dollars an hour. Remember, even if you have a great earning potential, your pride can keep you from having enough gas in your car to get to the fabulous interview where you can make top dollar. If you're in a slump, take what you can get. It's better than being broke, and you can give notice as soon as your dream job opens up.

Here are some sites that offer jobs in Portland and the surrounding areas, as well as a few links to jobs currently open in the mountain area, and where to check back in the future for openings. Remember that many places in the Mt. Hood area lack a website, or even computer access, so they may not have ads posted on the internet. It's a good idea to take a drive up and down Hwy 26 and apply at a few restaurants. Most are willing to train someone who has the drive to learn how to do the job well.
