Yes i did say legal.
I am probably able to do most handyman jobs, i can wash your car, do your garden, assemble your furniture, hard work does not scare me and light work neither. i will beat any wriitten quote and do the work to your satisfaction.

in South Africa i was a traffic official for 18 years and had my own driving academy where i taught applicants how to drive all codes of motor vehicles from motorcycle to extra heavy motor vehicles. i can teach anyone to drive but have to just find out what my requirements are in Switzerland

Please PM me if you need lights fitted, garden tended, paintwork, car washed etc.
I am a 52 year old male from South Africa with a B permit with employment and will do anything till i find a steady income.
Kind regards
Reuben

Yesterday someone wanted a wardrobe moved from Zurich to Biel and then assembled: did you catch that one?

Are you available 24/7 or do you stop for meal breaks?

Kindergarten receptionist? Weekend morning reception work at Gymboree (Basel)

Prostitution is legal Sorry couldnt resist

How about advertising your services in a local Migros or Coop? Ive seen loads of people looking at them and getting phone numbers. It could be a good way to start. Good luck

this is truly Jack of all trades Master of none (no qualifications) but experienced in lots being typical South African male, we do everything ourselves from washing and ironing to fixing and servicing motor vehicles and gardening, barbeques and, and and!
i play the silverflute can teach music recorder and flute, i conduct and teach choir voices....amongst various other things, i love bushcraft and will remove snakes and wild animals.
as i mentioned i do not have the papers only hands on experience.
i can teach anyone to drive safely from absolute beginners, manual(stick shift ) and automatic.

With credentials like that you're going to find a wife!

Reuben,
You will find something soon I'm sure. Keep always an eye to this forum, its been great help for all of us that provide services. Also I would recommend that you post your ad in the commercial section as handyman and the description of your services, in that way if someone search handyman you will appear in the search results and after you've help them they normally post a review about your job and it can be a great help for future clients. Also dont forget to make some tags

Wish you a new year full of work!

Excellent idea .. I am going to need help with house moving in the summer (trying to do a lot ourselves to keep the costs down) and I was just reading the thread and thinking "where should I write Rueben's name down so I remember him when it comes to summer and I am needing that help" ..

ahhhh i am very lucky to have found that already
i have an absolute gem for a wife,strong in support

She reads EF too then?

no she is not on the forum as yet, i will slowly get her to read some of the posts and get her interested:-)

Unless you want to start doing the cooking, the cleaning and the laundry, I would highly suggest you NOT to get her interested in the Forum

i do this in anycase, domesticated as they say

i will do anything legal to earn a salary, i am 52 yrs old, fit, healthy and not afraid to get my hands dirty. after working for the traffic dept in South Africa for 18 yrs and having my own driver training academy for 17 yrs i find myself in Basel because my wife works here and now i am a house man.....but that does not bring in the money.
i can work, i awake at 04:30 in the mornings and stay awake till 22:00

i can wash cars, mow your lawn, teach ninjutsu, amateur wrestling, do your shopping, teach silverflute and rudements of music, anything in the BASEL area

good luck. getting a job isn't easy, esp. if your qualifications don't translate into a new country and with the language barrier.

i have an international drivers licence valid till September and am willing to take on any driver job

i fit in line with this type of job, please let others know if you know of someone looking, pm me.
i am 53 yrs old strong and healthy, punctual and precise.
