People standing in front of the job-board reading advertisements.

This job board is mainly advertising job offers instead of job applications. Some job offers seem unsound and promise easy money.

The copy shop collects the advertisement via phone, fax or hand in charges a standard fee and distributes it in different locations. The city council raises an official fee for putting up public job boards.
