Drawn from scientific studies this conclusion proved to be true in our praxis based on numerous business contacts and as the result of the survey which we carried out in enterprises last year. Salary and the attractiveness of vacant positions are crucial in the competition of specialists. However, there are other criteria which can make advertised jobs more attractive: What does the city have to offer? How expensive is the relocation? Is the childcare provided? Will my partner have an opportunity to work? How quickly do you get to know new people? Answers to these questions are likely to influence the career choice of the potential employees. To be able to provide active support in the challenge of recruiting skilled employees, the City of Aachen has established a "NewComer Service". In the form of an internet portal, personal consultations, regular Newcomer meetings and an annual Newcomer Day this service will roll out the red carpet for your new employees and will make their arrival as easy as possible. www.aachen.de/newcomerservice Mayor Marcel Philipp cordially invites you to the very first "Newcomer/Meeting" where you will have a no-cost opportunity to better get to know Aachen and to establish new networks. First New-Comer Meeting in the City Hall of Aachen When: Friday, 24th of February Meeting place: 5 p.m. at the Tourist Info Elisenbrunnen, Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz (Application form is requested to be returned till the 20.02.2012 via 0241/432-7777 or newcomerservice@mail.aachen.de)
