The labour market system in Lithuania is formed by several institutions that work in this field, and by laws that control labour. We briefly present these institutions and the list of the main laws inherent to the labour market and its implications, according to the data provided by Lithuanias Ministry of Social Security and Labour (www.socmin.lt )
Now, with the development of the information technologies you can find a lot of information on the Internet. There are websites were it is possible to retrieve information on who offers or looks for a job, post your résumé, and many other things, such as www.cvonline.lt
You can also check the local papers for job postings and ads. They are very useful, especially if you already are in the country. Some of them offer information in English as well.
