Algiers is by far the country’s first job market: company and bank head offices, administrations, eastern industrial zones, western business districts, airport, port and universities. But the wilaya is large and congested: a job in Rouïba and a job in Chéraga are not lived the same way, especially at rush hour. This guide starts from the offers published on Chghol to show where the posts are and which profiles are wanted, then gives a six-step method. It follows the same model as our [guide to finding a job in Oran](https://chghol.com/en/advice/finding-a-job-in-oran-algeria-sectors-areas-employers).

## Getting around: a criterion in itself

In Algiers, the commute can cost an hour or more morning and evening. The **metro** and the **tram**, running since 2011, serve the centre, the east (towards Bab Ezzouar and Dar El Beïda) and the south-east; **suburban trains** link the centre to the industrial east; **city buses**, **cable cars** and taxis complete the network. For the Rouïba, Réghaïa, Oued Smar or Birtouta industrial zones, many employers run a **staff shuttle**. Before accepting, make the trip once at rush hour and ask whether transport is provided.

## Finding a job in Algiers in 6 steps

1. **Pick a job and an area** — An accountant or sales representative will find most posts in the centre and the west; an operator or technician in Rouïba, Oued Smar or Birtouta. Match it with where you live.
2. **Register with ANEM** — Register as a jobseeker at your municipality’s office or on the Wassit portal: employers file their offers there.
3. **Prepare a CV per type of post** — In such a competitive market, a targeted CV makes the difference: figures for sales, software and tax returns for accountants, safety and machines for industry. See our guide to [writing a CV in Algeria](https://chghol.com/en/advice/how-to-write-a-cv-in-algeria).
4. **Also target recruitment firms** — In Algiers, part of the offers go through firms that recruit for several companies. A good contact with a firm can open several posts.
5. **Use the university network** — USTHB in Bab Ezzouar, the universities of Algiers 1, 2 and 3, the École nationale polytechnique and the École nationale supérieure d’informatique organise internships and company meetings.
6. **Be told first** — Set a Chghol alert « job + Algiers ». With several dozen new offers some weeks, answering in the first days matters.

> **Beware of fake recruiters** — An offer that asks for money (file fees, compulsory paid training, « booking a post ») is a scam: placement is free for the jobseeker (law no. 04-19 of 25 December 2004). Always check the employer’s name.

**Algiers offers in your inbox** — Set an alert on your job in Algiers: you are told as soon as an offer is published.
