## Finding a job in the area in 6 steps

1. **Pick a job and a radius** — Decide whether you can work in both wilayas. With an hour’s commute, the number of offers goes from 30 or 22 to 52.
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 sector** — For electronics, highlight technical training, safety and machines; for trade, figures-backed 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** — Industrial zones, El Eulma wholesalers, home-appliance stores: handing in a CV in person still works well in the area.
5. **Use universities and vocational training** — The universities Sétif 1 Ferhat Abbas, Sétif 2 Mohamed Lamine Debaghine and Mohamed El Bachir El Ibrahimi in Bordj Bou Arréridj, as well as the CFPA centres, organise internships and company meetings.
6. **Set alerts per wilaya** — One Chghol alert for Sétif, one for Bordj Bou Arréridj: 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.
