You made the move out to Los Angeles? Way to go! Me too! Do you have an internship lined up? Oh, that's awesome! You're hoping that will turn into a job? That's adorable, but statistically unlikely!

There is the occasional internship turned assistant job, and for those of you that see that happen, congratulations. That is truly awesome. The rest of us though, are suddenly going to find ourselves without employment. Of course, it's not really that sudden, since most internships don't pay, but that's beside the point. Where do we find work?

1. The Internet
The information super highway is a vast treasure trove of job listings. It's also no longer acceptable to refer to the internet as the information super-highway, but I digress. Check out these sites for regularly updated listings:

Variety: In addition to its completely indecipherable headlines, Variety also offers a plethora of job listings, searchable by keyword and zipcode. http://thebiz.variety.com/find/US/jobs

Craigslist: Everybody's favorite way to get rid of their junk and pick up emotionally unavailable singles also lists job openings in several areas. Most relevant to you, of course, will be film/tv/radio jobs. My advice is again to figure out keywords to search by, to eliminate the ridiculous amount of "Nude models wanted, tastefully artistic, honest!" posts that you'll encounter otherwise. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/tfr/

Entertainment Careers: EC is kind of frustrating since it's a lot like the Westside Rentals of the job community. You're going to see a lot of stuff, but it's nothing you couldn't have seen elsewhere with a little bit of digging. Which wouldn't be a big deal, except there's a membership fee. If you're hard up, hit it. There's an RSS feed that posts previews of their most popular listings. http://www.entertainmentcareers.net/

Mandy: Mandy is fairly comprehensive, allowing you to search by job type, location and paid/non-paid productions. However, it's as if very few people take it seriously, because while the non-paid part seems to be updated every time you click refresh, the paid section updates considerably slower, if at all during any given day. Still, there's sometimes a find, and you'd be remiss to skip over it. It's also good for finding casting notices, in case you're into that. Which I know you are, secretly. http://mandy.com/

LA411: I had almost forgotten about this one, and have yet to sift through it, but it seems like a winner from the cursory glance I've given it, and the endorsement of someone I trust. Let me know in the comments if it seems to deliver the goods for you. I hear it's especially good for music video shoots! http://la411.com/

Most of these listings will get snatched up quicker than something that is snatched up in an expedient manner, but don't let that frustrate you. Fine-tune that resume and blanket those e-mail inboxes!

Bonus Tip: Set up an RSS feed or Google Alert with specific terms you're looking for targeted at these sites, preferably terms like, "assistant" "entry-level" "gets my coffee" and "benefits". This Lifehacker article should get you started: http://lifehacker.com/367362/find-a-job-with-rss-feeds
