If you need work immediately on your arrival, even if you have an experienced friend, you should try to see if better work cannot be offered you. Do not trust a private employment agency unless its state license is posted in plain sight. All unlicensed employment agencies are kept by swindlers, who will rob you of your money, and perhaps send you to a job, where in spite of splendid promises you will not be paid for your work. Girls and young women should be on their guard, not only as to employment agencies; they should particularly distrust chance acquaintances who offer them work at high wages. Acceptance of such an offer may lead them into a perilous position.

Unless you speak English, it is impossible, in the skilled trades, to find just the work you wish. The Jews who have succeeded best in America have been those who have taken the first work that offered. It is important to begin immediately. America is a land of opportunities, and if you work faithfully and intelligently you will have many chances for advancement. If you have a choice, it is usually better to take a job at a distance from the city where you land.
