Long Beach and West Orange County
Los Alamitos sits between two big hospitality markets: Long Beach to the west and Orange County's beach cities to the south, which gives new bartenders plenty of places to start.
Where the Jobs Are
- Downtown Long Beach - Hotels, the convention center, and waterfront bars
- Belmont Shore - Neighborhood bars and restaurants along Second Street
- Seal Beach - Main Street pubs and restaurants close to campus
- Huntington Beach - Beach bars and resort hotels with busy summers
Seasonal Rhythm
Summer beach traffic and the holiday party season are the busiest hiring windows, so it pays to finish training in spring or early fall.
