I do realize that it is difficult, my mom got her job through a temp agency, she was able to extend her contract to the point where she worked there for a bit over four years.
You could also look at the OU job board. Plus, there is this website I have gotten a few one- time gigs online called elance.com I got jobs copying and pasting websites to word documents and got paid a bit for it. You end up competing against people from third world countries, but for me, I would bid significantly below minimum wage, and then they would notice that I am american and fluent in English, so they would pay me significantly more, and hire me.
