Posted: 6/26/09 at 4:57pmHey, this isn't for me, but a friend is looking for a job in NYC. She's smart and accomplished, and has a pretty extensive resume. She just graduated college with a theater degree, but she's having trouble finding a survival job. Anyone know any place around town that is hiring? I know it's tough times, but figured I'd ask. Thanks!

Temping is currently the best bet right now. A lot of companies have laid off their full-time office staff because they can hire temps for a lot cheaper than that secretary who's been there for the last ten years (and not have to provide benefits, either).
With summer tourist season now getting into full swing, and many actors out doing summer stock, you'll also probably see an uptick in the needs in the service industry.
