I sent in for one of those hiring services packets that offered to send you mailing addresses of all kinds of companies. Overall I would say that I sent out a 150 resumes and probably 2/3s came back undeliverable - ESPECIALLY the ones from Alaska and the Caribbean. So when I called the one place in Alaska his advice was to come to Alaska to find a job. I never called anyone in the Caribbean - but at the time I could have seen getting the same response. Those odd jobs like pipeline flying or fish spotting and even banner towing are out there too but just never popped up on my radar screen. I still wouldn't know where to go to look for those kind of jobs either.
