worker/employee

Hi

If I say that a company is looking someone for a position of an office worker/boy, should I say that they are looking for a worker or an employee?

Is it OK to say: Some time ago I decided that it would be good to have some job.

thanks

If I say that a company is looking for someone for a position of an office worker/boy, should I say that they are looking for a worker or an employee? Either would be acceptable to me depending on context. I sometimes refer to my staff as workers.
