Does no one need a part time job?

I just started working part time as a call center agent (in Germany) and my boss told me that they also have a call center in San Francisco and they've been looking for people that speak German to make phone calls between 7 and 11am and they haven't found anyone in the past year. They pay 15$ per hour and put ads in the newspaper but no one seems to be interested. What could be the reason? And how can they find someone?

Update:

low pay? that's twice as much as I earn here, lol...anyway, it's just a part time job and no skills required.

I'm fairly certain that there are not many people that would want to a salesperson over the phone ... as they usually get hung up on (if that is what you mean by a "call center"). I guess there just aren't many people in San Francisco that speak German, maybe if they were to branch out into other states they would have more luck. The company you work for should also but ads on the Internet ... I think more people search the classifieds on the Internet rather than the newspaper. Try craigslist.com ...
