I second Pierno. Check out craiglist in the area you'd like to move. Also, another possibility, but less reliable: depending where you'd like to live, you could check out eater.com for restaurant buzz (I'm assuming you don't want to work at any old place), send those places a resume and try to score a stage. They might not be hiring, or might not hire you, but you'll get an idea of what certain restaurants are looking for/kitchen dynamic/employee chemistry.
...and you could also go to Craigslist.com and search your area. Look under "food-hospitality". There are tons of jobs out there, the majority of which are part time. But, if you are willing to work a hot line and work your way up...
