Job Search


You will find Help-Wanted-Ads in the classified part. Help-wanted ads are placed in alphabetical order, usually by the name of the job.

Then you must decide if you can do a certain job. Do you have the skills that the job requires – such as working with certain machinery or using certain tools? You also should think about whether or not this is a job you would like to do and whether or not the job would pay enough money to meet your needs.
