Constantine is the East’s great university, hospital and administrative city. But for a candidate, eastern Algeria works as a network of hubs close to one another: trade and industry in Sétif, electronics in Bordj Bou Arréridj, port and food industry in Béjaïa, steel and port in Annaba, petrochemicals in Skikda. Looking only in Constantine means missing a good share of the offers. This guide starts from the offers published on Chghol to show where the posts are, then gives a method. It follows the model of our guides for [Algiers](https://chghol.com/en/advice/finding-a-job-in-algiers-areas-jobs-employers-transport) and Oran.

## Getting around Constantine

The **Constantine tram**, running since 2013, and the **cable car**, running since 2008, complete buses and taxis; the new town of Ali Mendjeli is linked to the centre by road and tram. For the El Khroub, Oued Hamimime, Palma or Aïn Smara industrial zones, ask about the **staff shuttle**. For a post in a neighbouring wilaya, compare the cost of the daily commute, or of housing there, with the net salary offered.

## Finding a job in the East in 6 steps

1. **Pick a job and a radius** — Decide how far you can go: Constantine only, or also Mila, Sétif, Skikda. A radius of an hour and a half often doubles the number of offers.
2. **Register with ANEM** — Register as a jobseeker at your municipality’s office or on the Wassit portal, and state your mobility.
3. **Fit the CV to the post** — For health and medicines, highlight your science background and speaking skills; for industry, safety and machines; for sales, results. See our guide to [writing a CV in Algeria](https://chghol.com/en/advice/how-to-write-a-cv-in-algeria).
4. **Approach employers on site** — Clinics, pharmacies and distributors, shopping centres, industrial zones: handing in a CV in person works well in eastern cities.
5. **Use the university network** — The universities Constantine 1 Frères Mentouri, Constantine 2 Abdelhamid Mehri and Constantine 3 Salah Boubnider organise internships and company meetings.
6. **Set alerts per wilaya** — One Chghol alert for Constantine and one for each neighbouring wilaya you are interested in: you are told as soon as an offer is published.

> **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). Check the employer’s name.

**Eastern offers in your inbox** — Set an alert on your job in Constantine or a neighbouring wilaya.
