Working/Bartending in North County

Hi, My partner and I moved to Vista to help out his grandma who lives here. He’s from Oregon and I’m from North Carolina. Finding a job here has been incredibly difficult for both of us. I’m trying to get used to and understand the culture but I’m nearly at a loss. The people and city and beach are great! But I’ve been bartending for 5 years and in the service industry for 10 and I’ve applied to sooooooooooo many places and nothing has gotten me a job. I’ve only had 3 interview out of the 50 something places I’ve applied to. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have a resume with proven experience and great references.

Any kind souls willing to help? I’ll take any advice, share my resume, whatever it takes.
