Yuma winter gigs

I'll be spending Oct-Mar at Imperial Dam LTVA. Does anyone have any experience getting a part time job in Yuma during that time?
I would think there'd be plenty of jobs available when the snow birds arrive.

Rather a long commute into Yuma from that LTVA. There are a lot of part time, seasonal jobs in Quartzsite with a very short commute to them from the LTVA areas.

Check coolworks.com, usajobs.com as well as the state job site. I seem to remember seeing several state park jobs at Glamis dunes and ATV patrol jobs for BLM ranger positions when I was looking.

I’ll check it out but commute times are relative. I have no problem driving into Yuma while at Imperial for groceries and In& Out Burger!

BLM Pilot Knob LTVA at the Sidewinder Road/Felicity, CA I-8 exit 164, has a Chevron station.

Never been there, I passed by the signs going to and from Los Algodones, while staying on Ogilby Road.

First exit westbound after the CA Ag Inspection station. 11 miles from Yuma.

I'm not looking for traditional workamper jobs, more like golf courses or maybe even Walmart. Just looking for other people's experiences there.

Home Depot had 4-hour shifts in Florida, but not sure about here in Yuma. I'm looking at all the Craigslist stuff, but I'll probably go to Phoenix or near there and check a few things out, while I'm waiting for a campground host job to come up. Still waiting on my AC unit. I'll be on CB soon helping to monitor channel 19.
