For new comers that don't have a huge amount of money at their disposal, consider living with roommates. You can find rooms to rent near Downtown for about $600-$750/monthly. While renting an single bedroom apartment will cost you $1,200+, plus the application fees (non-refundable) and 3 to 4 deposits.
You can't rely on public transportation in the City, so you will need a car, insurance (obligatory - around $120/monthly), if you don't a license plate be ready to spend $470 plus fees. Uber and Lyft are a good way to get around and avoid such expenses.
When it comes to grocery/market, avoid Publix, Winn-Dixie like a plague. Buy your vegetables and fruits at Walmart and personal items at Dollar General stores. DG Stores offer $5 OFF for purchases over $25 on Saturdays.
Ah, compensation. On a $8-$10/hour range you'll find "seasonal" jobs, like retail/convenience stores. The average people make $11-$14/hour. Some of the occupations are: mechanic, line cook, carpenter, landscaper, driver... For high skilled work, Orlando has a great technology community and lots of startups and they're always head-hunting computer-savvy people.
Expect to work at least 40 hours a week. When hired, employers tend to give you few hours to start, like 20-30 hours/week. So it's always important to discuss that with your employer and always keep in mind your weekly expenses.
Good luck.
