Five weeks before the opening of Dresden's Christmas markets, the search for staff is in full swing among traders. At a job fair in the World Trade Center Dresden, exhibitors presented themselves to potential employees at around 30 stands. In addition to sales staff, they are also looking for kitchen helpers, cleaners and support with transportation and logistics.
"I am confident that the traders will be successful in recruiting the necessary staff for our Dresden Christmas markets," said Dresden's Mayor of Economic Affairs Jan Pratzka (CDU) at the event. Many traders already have staff from previous years who are coming back, he said. "And the gaps are then virtually filled with this market."
