Oakland Temporary Jobs Overview

You might want a temporary job for a number of reasons. Perhaps you'd like to try out a job before committing to a position in that company or field, or you need a way to get back into the workforce. Some people may use temporary jobs as a foot-in-the-door to an entry-level job or prefer their flexibility.

Although many temp jobs are for administrative assistants, that's not the only temporary opportunity out there. The Bureau of Labor Statistics identifies 25 industries and hundreds of the most common job titles filled with temporary employees, including construction trade workers, assemblers and fabricators, and material moving workers.

You can expand your search for service jobs by checking out these similar positions:

About Working in Oakland, California

If you're considering applying for Oakland jobs, three things you might hear about when you move here are sea monsters, gnomes, and secret staircases. The Oak-ness Monster in Lake Merritt, the only natural saltwater lake located in a city, has remained elusive since its first spotting in the 1940s. Oakland's gnomes are a little easier to find. An anonymous resident has painted and hidden thousands of gnomes all over the city since 2012. While you're looking for a gnome, you might stumble across a secret staircase. Hundreds of shortcut staircases were built a century ago to help streetcar and bus passengers commute from their Oakland jobs to their neighborhoods without having to walk along the city's winding roads.

If you're not in the mood for a scavenger hunt, you can spend a day exploring the banks of Lake Merritt, which includes miles of walking paths, greenspace, and a wildlife refuge. Or you could spend one of Oakland's 260 sunny days a year hiking in Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park just outside downtown Oakland. Ready to explore the Oakland area? You can also try expanding your job search to the suburbs of San Leandro, Alameda, and Berkeley.

Update Your Oakland Temporary Resume

Whether you apply directly to a company or go through a temp agency for a job, you need a polished resume. A resume for a temporary employee should not be that different from one for a full-time job. Monster has sample resumes for temporary administrative assistants and seasonal retail employees that you can use as guides. We can also help you with cover letter samples and cover letter best practices to complete your job candidate package.
