Hello everyone!
For a couple of months now, I've been having a hard time finding Production assistant jobs in my state. Orlando, Florida. I've had people refer me to websites but the jobs are always out of state. I see plenty in the golden states such as California of course, New York, Atlanta Georgia etc. I am a freshman in college, therefore, I can not travel long distances.
Does anyone know of any website I can explore that primarily has PA jobs in Orlando Florida? Or does anyone know of any writer assistant opportunities in Florida or virtually? I am willing to work without pay. I just want to set foot on a set or finally meet someone in person doing what I aspire to do. They say the beginning is always the hardest.

Some of the online services charge you to apply for jobs. (like Mandy and Staffmeup) So they would not be as helpful to a college student. But you can try facebook groups or even Meetup.com. There are people on Meetup that create groups to find crew members.
Here is a link to a Facebook group to start at:

On the staff me up free plan you can only apply to 5 jobs a month and you can't even upload a resume with that plan. On mandy, you also have to pay to use the website to its full potential. I could only find 1 PA job which is a 4hr drive to Miami. I have also tried meetup to no avail. The meetup meetings usually consist of adult adults. Lol. I'd be the youngest face there, which I am not comfortable with. Thank you so much anyways. Open to any other suggestion. I will continue my search.

On their events page, there are two in Orlando coming in October. The "Friends" level of membership is $40. Go and network - that's the best way to get jobs in the biz, esp. PA/entry level jobs.
