Do you just walk in any random wal mart/restaurant/gas station and ask if they need help, or do you apply online, or what? I want to move to the Los Angeles area and get a job ASAP.

How long does it take to actually start working?
>>17257881
Well depends on the store mostly, if they need people you'll get hired fast, just look the part act the part and you should have no problem. Also sometimes they drug test

How fast is fast? Within a week?

Sometimes, yeah, they might even ask if you want to start the next day.

Los Angeles in general can be quite the process. For Wal-Mart, it'll take up to 2 weeks (yes, I've worked there before - heuhhhh!)
For things like gas stations, it depends on how independent they are_ there will be restaurants that will literally tell you start working then and now - ethnic places and the such.
If you want to try your hand at Labor Ready, you'll find yourself working plenty of different gigs and eventually the job itself will want you to stick around if you're worth a damn.
Look up Labor Ready or job source programs like it, there's plenty in all of the Los Angeles areas.
Warning: it is very expensive living anywhere within the county, and if you're going to Labor Ready route, the jobs are very rough. Good luck!
