If you are in Madison, check out the wisc.jobs site. Often the state has a bunch of temporary LTE positions or less than full time positions they have trouble filling. Right now I know the Dept of Revenue is gearing up for tax returns by hiring temp workers: http://wisc.jobs/public/job_view.asp?annoid=62641&jobid=62156&index=true Check back in Jan for jobs since hiring tends to slow right now until after the holidays. The other thing about looking for state work is that many jobs require an objective exam, which is good since you can get interviews based on your score instead of dealing with people dismissing your resume.
