Casale-Never Had a Bidet (http://villacasale.net) Lauretta83 10-16-2007, 04:31 AM Ciao Violetta, In order to get a job in Italy, for any profession, you have to prove to the Italians that you have skills on your CV that nobody else in their country has. Fluency in English seems to be highly valued, as well as years of work experience in your field of study. If you have EU citizenship (which I assume you do since you are from Poland), you don't need a work permit in order to work there. As for jobs, it is very hard to find something in your specific profession, but internships (stage or apprendistato is what they call it in Italian) are always available. I did an internship (unpaid, sadly) with an art gallery this summer in Milan, and that experience led to my being interviewed for other positions in my field. My advice is to get a job in anything first, that pays the rent/bills and do a part-time internship on the side. Because the job market is better in the North than the South, I would recommend looking at Milan. Teaching English is another possibility as well, however, with your level of education (and mine too) I would look into a company that can give you a full-time job with benefits as a foreigner. I would also avoid going during the summer since the country is practically shuts down. September/October and February are prime times for hiring, I believe. Here is a useful website for jobs in Milan: http://www.jobsinmilan.com/ Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions. Best of luck! sardoman 10-16-2007, 10:24 AM If you have EU citizenship (which I assume you do since you are from Poland), you don't need a work permit in order to work there. In order to work in Italy as an EU citizen you need a resident's permit, which can take a week or two to get depending on how efficient the questura (police HQ) is, and a codice fiscale to pay taxes, which you can get immediately. Teaching English is another possibility as well If you intend to teach English in a language school you will need a CELTA, otherwise if you are going to do it privately you can get away with a basic TEFL certificate. One problem you will have is not being mother tongue. Consider contacting the universities and hospitals directly to see what they say. Make contacts, who you know is so important here. the job market is better in the North than the South absolutely!!! Good luck |
