Choose the correct answer, you may select more than one:
- it is incredibly difficult to find work in Utrecht,
- very few people are employed permanently,
- it is very common to have more than one job,
- very few people live in Utrecht for a long time,
- people are incredibly anxious to work,
- available positions are never filled.
And here comes the answer in form of a question (just like on "Jeopardy").. how do you explain that there are so many job agencies in this town? In a five block radius, I’ve seen about 15 of them, on one street alone they are literally door-to-door, out of 10-12 stores 7 are job agencies. I’ve never seen that many places anywhere, all of Holland must be coming here for jobs. When I go past one of those, sometimes I get curious and start looking at the ads (because they always have them in the windows), trying to find jobs that I could do. It’s much of the same everywhere; sales person (hell no), secretary, project manager (well if you count college projects
), various HR-related jobs. I’ve seen a couple that are more rare; tech support (at the cost of losing my mind, I could do that), network engineer (finally one that’s more me, I don’t have the experience, but I could prolly pick it up quickly). Anyway, if you’re looking for a job, I know where to start..
Ps. the answer to our implicit question, "where did you steal the title from this time?", is – the stationary store guy who ordered the Rollermack 1000 for Mr. Pitt.
