Is it possible to find a job (like cleaner/ janitor) in NYC without speaking English?

I thought not speaking english was a pre requisit ;)

well, your question got two spam answers and a racist one so far.

but i'm sure there are. good luck. but make sure you have the proper work authorization.

If he is legally able to work in the US, maybe he can sign on with a temp agency. They often have labor jobs and I believe some have an interpreter for the people who cannot speak. You will have to call around and ask for him.

Does he understand English? Because maybe someone can accompany him to an interview and then he can take the job based on understanding directions.

It is not going to be easy, but at least he wants to work. That is more than a lot of people want.

THAT'S ALL WE HAVE IN NYC, IT'S WHERE THE MOST ILLEGALS FIND WORK

I think not speaking is required some jobs. I`ve never meet a guy behind a subway counter who could speak english. But if your gonna move here and work, maybe picking up alittle english would be good.

But if you don;t know english make sure you know spanish!
