It would be helpful, if you could indicate, in which field are you looking for work, and your qualifications.
October 3, 2010 12:00 pm at 12:00 pm #703640HorrifiedParticipantWe also live in Jerusalem.
My wife is also desperate for a job,
She is willing to do a office job, or work from home.
She does graphic, photo editing adverts etc.
if anyone has any ideas please contact her by email; [email protected]
Thanks emoticon613 for your advertising idea!
October 3, 2010 12:04 pm at 12:04 pm #703641fghijParticipantIf you are looking for a secretarial job and can legally work in Israel (e.g. you have working papers or a visa with permission to work in Israel) you can apply to an English speaking company called FXCM Citibook they pay relatively decent. the link to the job is http://www.ou.org/index.php/jobs/job-hiring/74619/ You can try looking into OU’s website or janglo.net for other job opportunities. If you would like to work from home you can look into the Parameds job- from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
Hatzlacha with whatever you do.
October 4, 2010 9:41 am at 9:41 am #703642HorrifiedParticipantany other ideas?
please post if you do.
October 4, 2010 10:13 am at 10:13 am #703643emoticon613MemberR.A.: i know, i realized right after my turn at the computer was up. whoops.
i’m really looking for anything. really. that doesn’t have to do with little kids or math.
i can teach music, art, english, history, hebrew….anything (except math :)), work in an office entry-level, etc.
i’m not legal, but one can become legal if s/he has a job lined up.
horrified: i really really hope it helps. this job crisis really teaches us emunah, doesn’t it?
fghjj: that was a good idea, thanks.
October 4, 2010 12:47 pm at 12:47 pm #703644HorrifiedParticipantIf you are in Israel on a a4? visa [joined to your husbands A2 student visa],
you CAN get a ‘permitted to work’ stamp on your visa.
this is a new development thanks to eli yishai,
if you want one just renew your visa.
i just got a new visa and i specipicaly asked for it, they gave it to me without any tzoros!
good luck
now all my wife needs is a job- any ideas, graphics etc
pleeeeze!
October 22, 2010 2:55 am at 2:55 am #703645sms007MemberWhat ever happened to ywn classifieds? Anyone know of anymore classifieds to look on? If anyone knows of jobs to work at home – I can use that too!!! I can do a lot of stuff from wig washing (and simple blowing) to typing (please don’t start examining my posts now)(don’t worry horrified, no graphics), to writing ….lotsa stuff! (Or a part time job out of the house- but really part time)i’m very hardworking!
October 22, 2010 4:33 am at 4:33 am #703646mybatMemberSms, where do you live?
October 22, 2010 4:34 am at 4:34 am #703647mybatMemberSms, where do you live? And how old are you?
October 22, 2010 3:44 pm at 3:44 pm #703648sms007Memberny im 20 (how many of you guessed that)?
October 22, 2010 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm #703649mybatMemberWould you want to work part time, but on commission? (Good pay)
October 24, 2010 3:26 am at 3:26 am #703650sms007Memberyea, anything lol. but as what? (I prefer to work in a girls-only enviorment)
October 24, 2010 7:40 am at 7:40 am #703651mamashtakahMemberEmoticon613, I believe in order to teach in Israel you must be licensed through Misrad HaChinuch.
October 24, 2010 9:40 am at 9:40 am #703652fabieMemberHow about trying to get a job as a cashier in a market or store. Pay is generally around minimum wage, you may need to stand, but you can usually get a job quite easily, and the math is done automatically.
October 24, 2010 11:56 am at 11:56 am #703653minyan galMembermybat – can this job be done from home via computer? If so, I also may be interested.
October 25, 2010 3:25 am at 3:25 am #703655mybatMemberMinyangal, some part can be done from home but not completely. Sms and minyangal, do you have resumes?
October 25, 2010 9:55 am at 9:55 am #703656minyan galMemberMybat : If this postion can not be done entirely from home then I doubt that I would be able to apply for it as I live in Canada.Thank you anyways.
October 25, 2010 11:22 am at 11:22 am #703657yiddishemishpachaMembermy heart goes out to anyone who is struggling and I just wanted to offer some (maybe helpful) advice that has always served me well. Start locally, think about a need in your community or a community that you have connections with (anything that people need in terms of a service)and start a business offering it (depending on your experience and qualifications in case you need a license… etc. you should obtain all that you need,possibly including unpaid volunteer/intern experience to familiarize yourself with this area or to gain expertise…etc) in case you have no skills/experience in anything…)
Once you have a business idea, reach out to retired businessmen or someone you know who is in business but with whom you will not be in competition and run the idea by him (very important). There are prob. community resources of retired businessmen that can meet with you — where I lived before they had an organization like that, check into it.
Put the word out with everyone you know… especially your Rav, shul, local stores, in other words … network. Invest little and advertise in a local paper — don’t invest a lot of money right away… I’YH if it goes you can then invest whatever you need.
Most importantly: After you do your hishtadlus, daven to Ribbono Shel Olam to give you the parnassa you need so you can live like a mentsch and serve him properly…because if you are worried about parnassa it is exceedingly difficult. Say a kapittel Tehiliim before any phone call, any meeting, anything you do throughout the day. (so says Rav Shlomo Brevda shlita)
Just wanted to share what I have found to be true for myself.
October 25, 2010 12:28 pm at 12:28 pm #703658ramateshkolianMembercraigslist.com actually has a Jerusalem job page (not sure how to get to it) and i’ve seen some interesting things on there. I am also a graphic designer in Jerusalem, so I guess we are in competition!!!
October 25, 2010 1:13 pm at 1:13 pm #703659amichaiParticipantcheck out janglo. in israel.
October 25, 2010 3:12 pm at 3:12 pm #703660sms007Membermybat- what is this job for?Lol Resume is no problem

October 26, 2010 1:31 am at 1:31 am #703662Flatbush MomMemberAny well paying Accounting positions in NYC/ Brooklyn with a nice sviva? have good experience
October 26, 2010 2:07 am at 2:07 am #703663tomim tihyeMemberJobs are a Coke? No, d a, jobs are a shpritz. Big shpritz.
sms: Have you checked out college options? Getting that piece of paper may be good hishtadlus toward higher pay.
October 26, 2010 3:49 am at 3:49 am #703664sms007Membertomim tihye- so your sponsoring my college bill? Great!!! Seriously speaking, if I was able to go back to college, I would LOVE to be a psychologist.
October 26, 2010 3:53 pm at 3:53 pm #703665tomim tihyeMembersms: Financial aid, student loans, there are ways if you want to do it. I finished my B.S. and did my M.S. after I began my motherhood career. It was actually fun (hate that word)!
October 26, 2010 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #703666minyan galMembersms – if you really want to return to school, then just do it! When my daughter was about 7 years old I went back to school and became a registered nurse. It wasn’t easy but it was one of the most worthwhile accomplishments of my life. During this time period I still ran my household (I must admit that my exhusband did help out quite a bit),remained active in PTA and was president of my Hadassah chapter for one year.
October 27, 2010 12:05 am at 12:05 am #703667sms007Membererrrr- I don’t even have an extra hundred evrey monthn lol

October 27, 2010 3:43 pm at 3:43 pm #703670Pashuteh YidMemberThere is an OU job site, and a National Council of Young Israel mailing list, in addition to sites like Jewish Jobs.
For those in the sciences (mainly bio), check Science Careers and Nature Jobs. Also, for chemists, check the ACS site. For physicists check Physics Today Jobs. For electrical engineers check the IEEE site.
For those in Academia, check Chronicle of Higher Education. Many universities have their own careers site, and have many regular jobs, in addition to the academic (research and teaching) positions.
There are is also a Federal Gov’t job site, USAJOBS.
For those with specialized skills, try 6FigureJobs. These are in addition to the standard places like CareerBuilder, Monster, Dice, HotJobs, and Craigslist.
