How and Where to Find a Job in Italy
Are you planning on working in Italy as part of an expat assignment – or on your own? Let us give you some idea of what to expect! Our guide to working in Italy covers all the essential information you need for your relocation, such as visas, permits, and tips for the job search.

Tips for Job Seekers
If you do not want to teach English and would like to try your luck searching for jobs in the conventional way, here are some tips:
A: 1. Be assertive and sound confident of yourself and your skills.
B: 2. Train as an Italian teacher at home. This is the best way of learning the language.
C: 3. Translate your CV into Italian. If you are not fluent in Italian, it is worthwhile spending the money on a professional translator.
D: 4. Be honest about your Italian language skills, as potential employers will put you to the test in an interview.
E: 5. Check local and regional job listings in newspapers and go to companies in person. People tend to remember faces rather than names. Making a personal impression on a potential employer may benefit you in the long run.
F: 6. It is usually sufficient to contact potential employers by email, as otherwise job hunting can be very expensive.
G: 7. Be sure to have all your university degrees and certificates translated into Italian. This will show your commitment to blending in with Italian culture and your sincerity in finding work. Most European university degrees are accepted by Italian employers. If you, however, have a degree from the United States, for example, you may want to contact a local university and see what the equivalent in Italy is.

7.________ and 8.________ are not  bad places to settle down if you want to become self-employed in the tourist business.

Remember that you must be a legal resident to apply for self-employment and that you will be paying social security contributions and health insurance on your own.
