Hi everyone,
My boyfriend has been traveling on a post-undergrad fellowship for the last year. This fellowship forbids him from entering the United States for a full 365 days, so his earliest return date is August 7th.
He has about $2000 cash and $30,000 in a Roth IRA (which he does not want to touch). Because he has no other liquid savings, he urgently wants to find a job. Since he's relocating to Los Angeles to be closer to me (his family is from Seattle), I'm trying to help him in this process.
His background is in Music Composition, working with electronics. He has retail, custodial experience, and has about 2 -3 years experience working in a library. He's also worked in Admissions while in college.
Since he doesn't have "obvious" skills like engineering, his thought is to apply for higher ed jobs, working as a resident hall director, or working in study abroad offices, with all his experiences in travel as a student. He's a great writer, communicates well, and has good references.
He wants to take additional classes at a university to prepare for a Master's, so some schools give discounts to employees. I'm thinking that schools may hire in the summer for fall/spring positions.
Anyone have tips for someone who isn't available to interview locally? What is the timeline to start applying if you know your relocation date (he isn't expecting companies to help with that process, and at worst could always live with me for awhile)?
Any thoughts on other jobs he could apply for with his skill set?
