How To Effectively Find a Job in Italy. The Reality.

- If you're planning on moving to Italy then naturally you'll probably be working in Italy! Finding a job is no easy task for even Italians. However I do work in Italy andI offer my 12 years living and working in Italy experience as a guide which I hope will help you.
In this video I discuss how to work legally, how to go about finding a job the traditional way and then what I recommend as the best way to work in this country. I also offer little bits of advice and so no matter where you are in the job search process, I am sure that there is something useful for everyone.
My biggest advice to anyone, foreigners and Italians included is that while looking for a job in Italy is no easy task, there are options out there. You can find or even create your own job if you're willing to put the work in and think differently about what exactly a job entails in the 21st century.

Great job! I enjoyed watching this video. Not only it is accurate, but it is also very useful. I miss Italy so much. I live in the United States now, and this country is amazing, for it provides so many great opportunities, but I would love to go back to Italy. It would be great if you could do a video on teaching English in Italy (requirements, TEFL, CELTA or others), especially considering that the public exam (concorso) is not accessible to others (due to the difference of the American and Italian educational system).
Hey futura mamma ! Thank you for watching!
The concorso is harder , true but if you can work legally in Italy and get your degrees recognized by Italy there really is no stopping someone from doing a public exam.
I did a video on teaching in Italy about a year ago but it’s worth looking at again to see if I need to do another one.
You prefer living in American than Italy?
@@Moodyvirgoarts are you asking Carolina ? Her husband is from the USA. I’ll let her tell you the rest !
I'm EU citizen and don't live in Italy yet but sent my CV to a large multinational company in Milan and they called me literally 2 hours after to talk about the role (I'm fluent in Italian and had my CV written in Italian) . I had a few interviews with them and at the end they offered me the job and also offered me accommodation in the initial period (until I find my own). I'm a Software Consultant of a well known CRM system, which grows in Italy as well, so I believe if you are fluent in the language and have really special skills, you can find a job, however it takes time. In bocca al lupo a tutti.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this! I definitely agree that speaking Italian goes a long way here. I am also not surprised that you found a job in Milan.
Yo luck y
Salesforce?
@@LordCohliani yes
Just got back from our first trip to Europe, mostly Italy, and fell in love with it. Stumbled upon your channel while researching how to live and move to Italy. Love your channel! You do a great job of answering all of the questions that I have! Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!!
Hey ! Thanks for the feedback! It’s my pleasure to help others on their Italy 🇮🇹 journey. Wish I could publish more often but I’m sure I will in the future. Best of luck !
Thanks a lot, man. Really helped :)
Great job. Looks like you really gave all good information on this. Hope all is well.
Grazie. Tutto bene ! If just one person benefits from this advice it's worth it.
Thanks You a lot to useful information!!! 😁🙏
Ecxelent video David. Thanks 😊
Thank you! What did you enjoy in particular if I may ask? Anything I could have done better?
Ok that’s good new information to know
Thank you for the information, Am an English teacher as well. I am looking to move abroad and definitely, Italy is my number one choice.
Nice. What kinda schools you looking at ?
Thank You very much!
Love your videos. Very usefull. Thanks David !
Hi and thank you! What have you found useful in particular?
Hi, you give an overview of all importants points to be attentive to. And you do it in a quick rhythm. Useful for me because I am interested in living in Italy 🙂.@@DavidsDoseofItaly
Fantastic. 🙂. Living here is a challenge but it’s worth it
very informative. thank you.
Thank you for watching!
good video! well done!
Thanks my friend!
Nice video broth u speak very clearly,
Thank you 😊. It took years to speak clearly. I had a bad stuttering problem as a kid.
Great video David!
Thanks! Enjoy the Idaho trees for me!
@@DavidsDoseofItaly ditto with the Rome sunshine. Still on track to meet up with you in September.
Buongiorno David, I'm from the US and moved to Italy to obtain my JS Italian Citizenship. Your video's helped me along my journey and your replies. I did jump into this transition from the US to Italy rather quickly. Now, I'm in Italy looking for work . Yes, it's challenging ( I don't speak Italian). With my skill set as a real estate agent, design/build, and architectural photographer I'm finding you're correct that I need to create my own niche for work. Meanwhile, I'm looking for remote work, sending out my CV and I reached out to an employment agency. BTW, you resemble your bisnonno. Thanks for your helpful and up lifting video's. Buon anno!
Hi Christine! Funny, I’ve never seen a resemblance between myself and my great grandfather but thank you!
I am pleased that you’re finding my advice useful and that you’re experiencing it first hand. It Confirms what I said in the video. Don’t give up! I have found that the most successful people in life are the ones that weren’t necessarily smarter than the rest of us, but they were the ones that persevered. The more you persevere, the more intelligent you become because you learn along the way. Best of luck and keep me posted!
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Thank you for the encouraging words. Also, the alternative is going backwards, no thanks! I'll keep moving forward and keep you posted.
Exactly. Don’t forget, growth in my opinion is not just linear and in many cases it is exponential. I once heard a CZcams guru say that little tweaks lead to giant peaks. It’s very true.
Lovely video😍☺☺
Thank you! what did you enjoy?
For any person willing to apply, please note that the Italian "job world" is much less respectful than the "day to day" one, that means that usually will get no response to applications, "we will let you know" means "we will contact you only if we are planning to hire you" and so on.
When being interviewed/hired please be focused on hints for changes in position, job-offer, conditions, salary etc.
Finally, a lot of job hirings (unfortunately) happen on a relation base, so do not neglect to create contacts with the local community, as a former labour minister said "In Italy, it's more likely to find job on a football pitch rather than on a job board".
Oh sure. In this country it’s all in who you know. At least it helps a lot.
How to get job italy brother I'm from Indonesia.. if u have number WhatsApp
SJ: I hope you read this! For some reason your comment got deleted. If you want to work in the public school, you'll first need to convert your degress, certificates and titles into Italian and get them recognized in Italy. Then as I said in the video you'll need to do a public exam (concorso) and then you're placed into a point accumulation system called graduatoria and in this you also do substitute teaching possibly in various cities in Italy. to work in the private school is much easier. Some schools want a degree and teaching certificate, others don't. I'd shoot for the ones that want degrees and experience. If dont have experience there are plenty of good schools that will help you along with the way. Just remember, there are plenty of language schools in big cities, so don't feel you are "stuck" working in one.
Good jobs
David, I watched several of your videos in the last week. I am learning a lot. Thank you for making them. My first visit to Assisi and Rome will be in October. I am an English-only speaker from Minnesota, USA. So this might be an idea for a video. Tips for an English-only speaking American to enjoy a few days in Rome. If I don't speak the language am going to have a difficult time communicating? For example, you tell us the best place to buy a bus ticket is to go to the Tabacchi. Do they speak English? I would more likely look for a vending machine.
Hi Mark! Thank you for the channel support and I am happy you're learning so much. That's a great idea. I should up my vlogging skills and go around Rome and just speak English to the locals. Thanks for the video idea! To be honest, don't sweat it. Just learn this phrase "Un biglietto per favore" or for two of them it's "due biglietti per favore". Italians truly don't care if you make mistakes.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Another reason I’d choose Italy over France. Not trying to be general but French people don’t have a reputation for being very lenient for American English. I DO NOT BLAME THEM! Lol. But I want to get a more submersed lesson in Italian without feeling completely like a disease. Lol Your videos are fantastic! I’m trying to get my husband to move and Italy is on top of a few places I have in mind. He’s a surgical nurse and an excellent one too. I’m wondering if there is a chance that you might do a video regarding transferable occupations? Unless you already have and I haven’t looked. ✌️🎶 ☮️
People can work in the many United States military bases in Italy. Vicenza U.S. Army base, Aviano U.S. Airforce Base and many more. They say there are 113 U.S. military bases in Italy. They need teachers, substitute teachers, coaches, nurses, administrators etc.
Hey David ! Unfortunately there aren’t any US in Rome. There’s one in Gaeta but the commute would be too long.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly
Parlavo in generale in Italia di trovare lavoro. Non stavo parlando di lavoro per te ma per altre persone.
SI si, ci siamo capiti :)
I can tell you from personal experience that this is the best way to go. Did the same in Germany for 10+ years.
If I were to move back to Europe again, this is how I would do it...because
- You don't need a visa / you get a US government ID card and a SOFA stamp in your passport
- Income and Sales Tax exemption (didn't pay German or US income tax, filed IRS 2555 foreign income exclusion) Germany has VAT forms for buying things on the economy, but I don't think Italy has them...too many counterfeit copies there...lol
- Fuel coupons (you pay US prices, not local)
- You typically get paid a housing allowance and cost of living allowance on top of your salary
- You can shop on base tax free (commissary, px, etc)
I thought it was a conflict of interest for Dual Italian Citizens to work in Italy because of SOFA laws?
Lots of great info. Interesting to see your Italian ancestor. He passed very young, I’m sorry 😞.
Thanks Ron! I am wondering, could any of this info apply to you if you were to make a move to Italy? Yes, he died of lung cancer I believe because he used to mix paint and I guess back then it was more toxic or he just didn't wear a mask.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly That’s terrible David. I’m very sorry. Also goes to prove how good technology has gotten in the past 100 yrs and how many lives we’re saving by improving old processes. All of these things would apply to me except perhaps for the citizenship part since Spain is no longer processing immigration apps for jus sanguinis (that I know of) beyond 1st gen.
@@Rualnys glad you got value out of it. Hope you can make something happen from the tips in this video because I think the advice transcends Italy.
I have a friend whose daughter was born in Spain 🇪🇸 but her parents aren’t Spanish. So the little girl was born stateless until she was recognized as an Italian citizen.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Yep, Spain has restricted jus soli laws. Only about 30 countries in the world have fully unrestricted policies for that.
Wow. I guess I should consider myself lucky.
Thank you....🏘️💓🌿🌻🥰🌏👣
Hope you found something that helps you out!
Great
So I qualify for Italian citizenship (currently saving up to have a company help since I have little free time to do the research myself). But I have about 6+ and hopefully when I get my citizenship ship I'd have about a decade in IT. My only question is, is Italy in need of IT personnel? Especially one that has 0 degree and is currently learning Italian through Duolingo but is a complete beginner?
My dream is to move there with my daughters soon for the same reason to learn my roots
I can relate. Where in Italy would you like to move ?
I would really like to see a 5-year plan video or something like that. Something, detailed. Because obviously I know I need to learn the language. And I know I need to work on my skills right now, to be able to find a job. But I don't even know what kind of skills I should work on? I could go into a different field if that's what's booming in italy. Basically I would love to see a video where I take the next 5 years to do all of the things that best set me up for being able to move from the United States to Italy.
Citizenship aside, because it's a non issue.
That would be a very interesting video although a detailed plan might be difficult because we are all on different paths in life and we all offer something different to the table.
I think it is something very positive the fact that you recognize the need to learn the language and to develop your skills because I think these are good assets for the future. I realize that this is somewhat theoretical but it is true. I made a video a little while back about finding a job in Italy and I’ll put the link here. The skills you need to work on depend on what you want to and what you are willing to learn. Or this could also be improving the skills you already have. I’ll give an example. A skill that I would like to improve in the future is copywriting. When we think of copywriting we often think about perhaps an authors rights to a book or film. However in recent years I have come to learn copywriting is also learning how to write something with the intent of selling. For example when I create my CZcams titles that is also copywriting because I am writing titles in the hopes that somebody is enticed to click on the video. In the world of work this could be offering to create a text for a company who is looking to sell a product. Copywriting is considered high income skills and these are the skills that I think make us very marketable; we can also sell them to people using the Internet, thus eliminating the need to be forced to find only a job in physical stores and companies. I don’t know what your background is or if its something that you’d be willing to do but it is an example of skill development.
I wish you the best of luck !

@@DavidsDoseofItaly oh wow this is amazing, thank you for the copyrighting suggestion.
I’m in the jur sanguis process now, wondering if there are any jobs similar to the one I have in the railroad industry (rail traffic controller) in Italy or Spain? I don’t even know where to look or what to search for as I’m sure the title may be different.
good question. I imagine you'd have to do a public exam as this regarded as the public sector. So first things first make sure your Italian is C1 level.
Hello David . One question , I am from Argentina , I have also Italian citizenship and I am living in Rome for a few months now . My problem is , that this time that I came to Europe , I made the mistake to come as an Argentinian ( my Italian passport was expired , and is very very difficult to get it renew , and it takes to long too in Argentina ) My work now ( and for the las few months ) , is that I am selling my paintings in a piazza here in Rome . but, I want to get regular job now , because the season is lowering in no time , and the rain comes too , and that is not good panorama for What I do .
My question is , I have my codice fiscale , but my Italian passport is expired . if I want to get a job here , do I need a valid Italian document , and the codice fiscale ?
Or , with my codice fiscale and my name is enough ? . I am in the system ( I am in-scripted in the AIRE ) but, I don't know what an employer needs to make a job contract in here...
thanks very much for your help in this channel . cordiale saluti
Very informative video, David. I’m just now learning about the possibility of Italian citizenship if your grandparents are from Italy. My grandfather was Italian but how would I go about “proving” this? Where do I even begin? I’m currently living in Italy with a permesso di Soggiorno but if citizenship is attainable then that’s a no brainer!
Thank you 😊. If you can get your Italian citizenship and even better apply in Italy then by all means go for it.
If I were you I would investigate your ancestor and ascertain his or her citizenship status at the time of birth of your parent and if at that moment your grandfather was still an Italian citizen. This is key. I didn’t have his problem so I’m not entirely sure where to start looking. Do you know if your ancestor was a US citizen?
yes I want job
Getting a good paying job in the US is becoming harder, but if I was in the US and considering moving to Italy I would start looking for an employer in the US that allows remote work as soon as possible. Don’t wait until you get permission to live legal in Italy. Secure the job now and figure out the move later.
Absolutely. Get something set up before. It’s essential
3:30 i do this in Brasil and YES, IT IS STRESSFUL, but if i can teach here it wont be that hard in italy i guess
yes
Hey David! Quick question, I think. We are thinking about moving to Italy at least for a few years. We are close to retirement age but will probably continue working while there (remote/online). My question is have you observed or researched what a college graduate there with 4, 6 or even 8 year degree can make for a salary (there) versus someone with the same years of study here in the US. In other words, can someone with a 4,6,8 year degree there make a good living and afford the "nicer" things in life like a nice house, etc versus someone here in the US? Grazie (and I always pronounce the short "e" at the end)!
Come to think of it, this might be a good topic for your next video! 🙂
Interesting question and def a good video idea. Thank you. Not to sound pessimistic but it doesn’t seem to be an easy route. Here’s why. I thought myself about teaching in the public school but to do that I needed to have my degrees recognized here in Italy. I am saying it’s impossible but it is a bureaucratic hassle that you have to do through. Had I done that I’d have been looking at 1200-1600 (roughly) per month which isn’t bad for Italy standards but honestly I don’t think it’s enough to last you to retirement.
However, does your idea allow you to live well here? I would say, yes. If you can manage to have your degrees recognized here and if it’s a degree that is profitable, in particular medicine and maybe even computer programing then personally I might try and open up my own business. You wouldn’t make as much money as in the States but it would be a good paycheck here. I still recommend selling your expertise online as there are so many advantages to doing that as opposed to a brick and mortar store. I really can’t say what a US college degree would get your here as far as a ballpark figure is concerned because It’s too subjective.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Thanks! I just think about my cousin's in Palermo and they all have minimum of 4 year degrees and they lead decent lives, nothing too extravagant. I would feel awkward asking them a similar question(s)!
No don’t. These are normal questions here in Italy
Really interesting, did you do a TEFL course? And did they help you find work?
Also, if I were to work online, coaching for example, would I pay tax from my home country or Italian?
Thanks
Thank you 😊
Yeah I did a TEFL course in Boston and I think it did work in my favor when I was jobhunting. In regards to working online that is somewhat of a gray area. I think if you reside in Italy and make your money Online while not being employed by anyone in particular then you may have to declare it. For the record this is not legal advice and you should consult a professional on these matters just to be safe
@@DavidsDoseofItaly great, thank you very much :)
Wasn’t sure if I live in the UK and teach English online here, then go on holiday to Italy for a few months whether I’d then have to pay there, I’ll check.
Thanks, and really helpful videos! 👏
My gut says no but it’s worth checking out. Thanks for watching!
I watching this video..if iam a electrical engineer it is possible i can find job in italy..
Can i go with tourist visa first but how to process pls..i need your advice
I am doing ph.d in energy and environment now.my topic is analysis of a schiapparelli re entry anomaly :its trajectory and thermal properties. Can I get job in italy related to this research?
It’s possible sure but I have no idea what the possibilities are. I know Italian funded research doesn’t pay well so if I were you I’d think international as far as being compensated monetarily is concerned. Sorry I couldn’t give you more info.
Hi Bro Thanks for your good information.I am asking an question for my information if a person can done bacheler degree in there own country and he came to italy as a refugge status and he want to continue his master studies so italian university give them opportunity to continue his higher education here like master so university will accept him as a scolership or he will continue study on his own
Hi. Honestly, I’m really not sure. I think he would need to ask this question directly to the University.
Great video! Are there any impediments to starting your own business that we should know about? I have cousins who are natives living in the south who can't find employment. I thought starting their own business of some sort might be the way to go.
Thank you 😊
There are plenty of impediments in terms of bureaucracy in Italy. You also need plenty of start up capital and it may take a while to make ROI. You need a partita IVA too.
I recommend an online business. Much simpler and far less bureaucratic messes.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly
Thank you very much.🙂
Ciao Davide! What would you recommend for a married couple pretty close to retirement such as, good places to live in Italy on a retirement budget etc. Grazie!
Hi ! Rome is expensive so I would exclude it but there are nice towns near it which might cost less. I’d recommend a small town in Tuscany maybe. Also I’m told Friuli Venezia Giulia is inexpensive
Yeah I think you can find something nice with a 10 min train ride outside of Rome,
Omg you signed up for Jeremy lefufus stock course? The balance sheets!
I bought the course at least three years ago. If I may ask do you have a particular opinion about Jeremy?
@@DavidsDoseofItaly well I follow him on CZcams. He’s a pretty risky investor overall. But I suppose you should never blindly follow anyone. Not sure how qualified he is either but time will tell on tattooed nutsack. It’s funny I found that on your channel def didn’t expect that haha. There’s a CZcams channel called strongman personal finance. Always rippin Jeremy, check him out he’s a funny guy.
You know when I decided to put the screenshot of Jeremy‘s course I never thought anybody would actually recognize it. I mean my channel and his are really very different although as you see in this video there was a slight crossover. Unfortunately I’ve never really had the time or the capital to really go deep into investing as I’d like. In fact I think I Bought his course before I started my CZcams channel. But I’ve always wondered how successful I would be if I copied his strategy and took as much risk as he does. I will probably never be a risky investor
@@DavidsDoseofItaly yeah investing is tricky. Especially after everything shot up and then down real fast. VT is a global index fund of stocks. That mixed with bonds would work long term I think, but patience is the game unless you wanna take bigger reward and bigger risk with individual stocks.
My strategy and also future strategy is to continue to invest in index funds also in older established companies that have been paying dividends for years.
Please can someone link me up for any job I may move to Italy soon as a foreigner
To be honest, avoid the fallacy of “ everyone speaks English.” There isn’t much hope of finding a descent job unless you have at least a B2 upper intermediate proficiency in Italian. Secondly, an European Union passport opens many doors. If you are of Italian ancestry, Italy has a generous “ de jure sanguinis” policy. In fact, some would say too generous. ( I’m one of them,) Most EU countries limit recognization “ de jure sanguinis “ to European born grandparents and not beyond. Lastly, Italian Americans even if they are recognized as Italian citizens and are able to speak Italian decently will ALWAYS be considered foreigners in Italy! That’s just the way it is in Italy. There is no substitution for being born and raised in Italy, going to school in Italy and living the full Italian experience from birth.
For example my nieces son is going to be an Italian citizen someday. His Great-great-great grandfather was Italian. Crazy but Italy allows it. I agree. I can talk all day about my Italian ancestry but I am first thought of as an American and that's fine. It took me years to accept it but I am comfy with my identity now and I realize that I can still be proud of my last name and heritage despite the locals' opinion of what nationality I truly am. My daughter however will most likely grow up in Italy and thus be more Italian than American. I am fine with that.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Hi David, I think you have a well balanced and healthy approach. There is nothing wrong with being an Italian American living in Italy. In a sense, you have the best of both worlds, and your daughter will benefit from your experience. No doubt she will speak English with a New England accent and like the Boston Bruins ! Thanks for your Videos. They are always well done and very informative. Ciao
I am very curious to see how she approaches English and if she'll talk a lot like me in the future! True, for as confusing as cultural identity can be, I always considered a positive aspect of this to be that indeed you have the opportunity to take the best of both worlds and it gives you a unique perspective on life that the locals can't quite see.
I agree with the b2 level of the Italian language. I am looking to move there next year and one of my goals is to be schooled in Rome. Even though Italy might seem lenient on acquiring a citizenship through blood right, it’s a tough process. The state and federal governments here had me waiting up to over a year for documents of past relatives. 3 court orders for birth certificates…etc. But worth it. I’m almost home!
Yes, while the de jure sanguinis process is generous, it is not easy dealing with the Italian bureaucracy, However, while not a strong supporter of de jure sanguinis beyond Italian grandparents, I would pursue the possibility of Italian citizenship recognition no matter how many generations have elapsed. For legal purposes, Italian citizenship opens a lot of doors and makes things a lot easier. I am glad to see that you recognize the importance of the language. It really is indispensable in order to function in daily life,
I'm doing a decorating and painting course in London and have spoken with an establishment that does apprenticeship in Italy and Switzerland so when I'm ready I will reach out again to her. But yh I also have experience in customer service and theatre .... wish me luck ..... are there places more attainable than others? I'm looking at trieste and also Florence and ticino for Switzerland. My Italian is A2/B1 level.
Hi Nicole. Can you rephrase the question?
@David's Dose of Italy are there places better for work than others. Choices between Switzerland Italy Slovenia Austria. Especially in Italy between Turin Florence Trieste that work in either theatre or painting and decorating is doable
Is it only limited to grandparents for a passport or can it go back a little further
It can go back further as long as you can produce proper documentation
Very interesting. How much do you think is a good nest egg to live for about a decade and do you know about artists making a living there?
Thank you! That's not easy to gauge however I have heard that in general everyone should prepare by having at least 6 months of savings in the bank in the cases where you lose your job or have no way of earning income. As far as artists are concerned I really have no idea how they exist here! As I mentioned in the video I'd try and use the internet to showcase your art. Hope that helps!
My great grandfather was born in Italy. Would that be of any help?
Do you mean for citizenship?
Hello Sir, you are amazing... I love all your videos. thanks for sharing all these great contents. SUBBED and LIKED ! a fellow creator...
Hey Yashin. Thank you! I've also subbed to your channel because I like channels that are business related. Good luck with your channel!
What are entry-level jobs for people in their 20s in Italy remote jobs
I am not entirely sure it depends on the industry that you want to work in. Remote working is more of a thing since the pandemic however it’s not as widespread of concept as in the United States
How do I find my ancestors info I know my great gmas name but not sure how that would help me get citizenship? also I have 2 kids would that make it harder? Is healthcare free there?
I’d do a census check and see what her status was. Check with homeland security or the national archives. I can’t tell if your ancestors citizenship status would help you. I’d need more info.
Healthcare is tax paid. Doctors visits , emergency hospital care (and ambulance rides) are tax paid. Medicine does cost something but I’ve found the cost to be very reasonable. I find more advantages here than in the US for healthcare. Insurance policies are virtually non existent
I have a question. My Great Grandfather was full Italian and I know I’ll be able to pass for citizenship in Italy. But my question is…can I get my wife as a citizen as well? Or will there be a problem with her not being of Italian heritage?
Not at all because she’s your spouse she’s eligible, but she will have to take a language test and she’ll need to be at least intermediate level. My brother-in-law is in the same situation.
Sir ❤thank you for all this information
I need from you a faver please
Can you put up a video as soon as possible 🎉🎉and write us some emails and numbers of companies🎉🎉 in the field of welding, meaning companies that need workers and attract workers? I am serious about work. My experience is 12 years and I am still working. However, I am looking for the best, or drivers, because I have a regular driver’s license and a taxi driver’s license. I am old. 32. I want to move to Italy, but I have not yet found the opportunity. I need a work contract from there.
Italy has pro basketball and pro tackle football teams. You can play football or basketball in Italy and get paid for it.
US football?
What if, you plan to move in 6-7 years? Right, I need to learn the language. What about American degrees? I have an associate's in applied science.
The language is key. Yes.
If you want your degree to carry weight here in Italy you will need to have it recognized. I was going to do this myself because I was interested in teaching in the public schools but in the end I took a job with a private school.
To Have your degrees recognized you need to go to the public education ministry
Which city is best for foreigners looking for job?
Rome. I came here because it’s big and offers a lot of jobs. You can always move later
i can do
How can international student find jobs in italy
❤❤❤
Hey, bro. Are you on minoxidil by any chance?
Yes. 5 does daily to make sure it takes effect.
Buonasera Davide
Our trip to Italy is just about here for us and I plan on having meeting with you for coffee or dinner with us.
In the meantime, I’m extremely exited about Italy, ready for the challenge of moving there and having my citizenship confirmed through Jur sangunis through my nonno Luigi D’Angelo from Pignataro Maggiore. My Italian attorney has prepared all the necessary documents for this process(rather expensive) but worth it. My appointment with the consulate is in August. But more importantly, we want to expand our consulting business in Italy to bring wine to the US and products from the states to Italy. I understand that I will need a citizenship approved to start a business there, but where do I register a business or corporation in Italy once I am able to do so? I am planning on staying in Rome for the first 6 months of next year to learn Italian and emerse into the culture. We will be in Rome from June 2 - 4.
Ciao!
Hi Louis. What a small world, my grandmother's origins are from Camigliano which is just next to Pignataro Maggiore. Glad to see your citizenship process is going along nicely, you'll find that it will have been one of the best investments in yourself and your future that you've ever made. I am eternally grateful that I stuck it out. I am no legal expert so I am not sure exactly how to do that, however one thing I can tell you is that most likely you'll need a Partita IVA which in essence is something you set up if you have a business (usually) and you are responsible for your own taxes and how much you owe. Drop me an email and let me know more about your stay here in Rome. I will be out of town most of the days that you'll be here, but we'll see how things go.
Salve Davide
I was told that we have be tested for Covid prior to departing Italy. Do you have any knowledge of this?
This is true. I just checked aer lingus website and this is required
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Ok. Thank you
I want
How did you prove the ancestry? Is there a video on this?
Hi. No specific video. I’m not sure exactly what you mean by prove your ancestry, however I contacted USCIS and they replied many months later with a letter saying that no record was found of this individual. This was particularly good news for me because it meant that I could easily inherit Italian citizenship and I did. In essence when you go to the consulate and you present your ancestors birth certificate, and this particular letter, as well as all documentation for all the generations involved, they are able to piece together the genealogical tree and establish that you are related to the immigrant question. I hope that answers your question. Best of luck 🙂
Anyone know of a place to work for cash if you are in Rome?
If you mean getting paid under the table, I’m sure it’ll be somewhat easy to find that
I need a job in Italy
I really need help
Instead of sending CVs around, these days you'll get more luck just by going to job agencies, that's really the only way to find a job in Italy these days, sadly. Companies don't care about CVs that come to them, they just call a job agency if they need someone to fill a space. Unless you're someone that has a degree in something, like a doctor or engineer, you're better off just going to a job agency and there are a lot of those.
I thought about mentioning the job agencies but I wasn’t sure people still went to them or used them. Thanks for mentioning this idea!
@@DavidsDoseofItaly I disagree with what was said in this girl's comment, there are a lot of companies, I think most, that read and take into consideration the CVs sent directly to them. I work for one of those companies ... we are more than 12 thousand employees and 99% of us have been hired by selecting people from the CVs we have sent. The company is now hiring two more employees and the two names have emerged from the many CVs received over the years, carefully selected and sorted according to possible future needs ... for example if the company needs an accountant, then the office HR will open the file with the list of all CVs stored in the "possible future accountants" folder and start calling those people who had already been selected as potentially perfect for that job based on the CV they sent. If your CV meets the various business needs it will not be discarded but will be carefully archived and as soon as an employee with your skills is needed you will be contacted ... so not only is a good practice sending CVs to companies but also important to keep it updated by resending them a fresh copy every now and then when there are new skills acquired to add so that the more skills you have the sooner you may be hired! This is the way it works! This is how I found my job and always had more options to choose from. My nephews with this same method have found a good job in less than 3 months from the day they graduated while being able to choose from various opportunities! If you want to work you have to make yourself known and let people know what you know and how much you are worth, you have to step forward, if you passively wait for the employment offices to find the right job for you, you risk being unemployed for life!
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Nice video David... as usual... I hope everything's fine for you and the family... take care Seb 😊😊😊
Thats good advice. Thank you. While I realize that most of the CVs you send may never be considered, still I think it's better to send it and have that small percentage of being hired than living with "what if" in my mind. Good advice to keep the CV updated, I hadn't thought of that!
We're ok thank you, but there's always some form of sickness in our small apartment. So we learn to deal with it.
You must consider Italy, has been going thru its worst economic Crisis ever, for, like 20 years...waiting for help from Brussels...🤞🤞
Sure. With that said all the more reason to try to build something online
@@DavidsDoseofItaly but you know what? Fat checks from Brussels are coming in, luckily 🙂
Hold your breath, in a year we may be witnessing a new economic miracle 😊👍🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 or so they say....
Oh really ?? Well I think I’ll breath normally for now!
@@DavidsDoseofItaly you are correct, central Italy Is Much closer to the North, in terms of wealth
Yes I got that impression every time I’ve been to Umbria and Toscana
Hi, I was invited to an interview for a company in italy. I dont know what to ask them like what salary to ask, will they give accommodation, what benefits could i ask for etc. The post is for mechatronics engineer.
Good job on getting the interview. How much of the job are you able to ascertain before the interview?
@DavidsDoseofItaly I've worked in this field for 1 and half year give or take. But my projects that I've done are usually done by more experienced persons in this field maybe that's why I got invited to the interview and I even don't know Italian. Currently I work in uae.
@@tonymathew5618 that could be it. You could ask about the salary upfront and then explain that in previous positions asking about the pay is normal.
@DavidsDoseofItaly how much salary could I ask them? Right now I earn 4000aed per month that's like 1000euros and the company pays my rent and utilities. So can I ask like 2500 euros or something?
@@tonymathew5618 to be honest, I'm not entirely sure, because this is not my field and I don't feel qualified to give you an accurate answer. However, I think when you're dealing with money in general, in any place in the world, it's always good to propose more than what you're expecting and then see if they can meet you halfway in the middle.
I heard you cant obtain a federal job under the SOFA laws. Have any insight on that?
I have no idea. It's nothing something I've looked into. However I would think that if you had a foreign passport you can't get US gov jobs that require a high level of security. Not sure if that's what you were referring to.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly i think you’re right. I was thinking of possibly doing something like recreational activity or janitorial type duties
You could always get a job with the US government or the US military here in Italy. I myself looked into this numerous times and there are various positions here in Italy.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly what kind of jobs were available? Thanks for the information by the way!
@GotUrRain they ranged anywhere from food preparation to entry-level jobs. It was on USA jobs.gov.
I am a law student in Uganda I think I might move to Italy . Is it possible for me to work as a lawyer or any legal practice in Italy.
No not unless you study italian law😞 sorry to tell you but in italy its super difficult
Agreed. Deep knowledge of Italian law and the language is essential
I am poor here in the US do I need to be rich to move there?
Rich is in relative terms. I’d save up a lot of money before you move.
This video is great giving very useful and practical advise, but I would like to add my Reality. I lived and work in Italy for 20 years and now I have moved out of the country the main reasons, a growing racism against English speaking people, high levels of corruption and nepotism in the workplace and a collapsing economy and terrible school system with high levels of abuse and corruption. The Italian economy is made up of family companies there is not a glass ceiling but an iron one, only friends or family members get to the management level, you will work VERY long hours for a fraction of the pay of US or Top EU countries. I was often called by my boss on Friday evenings, weekend etc, they feel they own you. In the country I work now there are two other Italians who left Italy for the same reasons. Long hours, low pay and Zero career growth.
Corruption is rampant in Italy, 730 Tax form if you ask a company to help you do it, they often offer a price off the books without TAX!! Even lawyers, doctors etc will give you two prices an under the table price or a price with tax. This institutionalised tax avoidance , pays a heavy price on the over all infrastructure of the country . Check out the UN countries corruption index and see where Italy falls, its scary.
Italy is a country full of history and some of the best food in the world and amazing countryside and architecture, if you are lucky enough to be in position to shield yourself from what I have described you can have an amazing life there. If your young looking for work the chances of a low paid job and very long hours is High, yes there are some international companies and you can get lucky, but the odds are stacked against you. But the darkness growing in Italy is racism , I have experienced it multiple times, I have been spat at, my son has been insulted and now with the new Fascist party, people feel free to voice their hatred more and more BTW I am white Anglo Saxon, people of color have it much worse and I remember an African American colleague who stayed for a short job assignment and people approached her in the street and asked " How much" as they considered her a prostitute being of colour. Italy is a also a county of contrast and anyone who has lived there know Italy is really a collection of countries each with its own language and culture. There are large contrasts between the North and South and even contrasts inside regions. As a hiring manager in Italy I could speak a lot about the job market. But bottom line, expect to be paid little and work a lot. If you move to Italy, do so with open eyes.
Hi, and thank you for this interesting version of your reality in Italy. I think, however, that the US is worse in the sense that jobs think they own you and have the sense that you are available at their beckoning call. Unfortunately, this influence has reached Italy but I don’t see it at US levels at least not yet.
There is racism in Italy, but I failed to see where this affects people who are of Anglo-Saxon ancestry. People of color and from certain countries are treated unfairly in this country. Unfortunately, this is true.
I must say all the negative work conditions that you have mentioned here are exactly the reason why I suggested finding work on the Internet. In 2023 I don’t see why we can’t at least create a side hustle on the Internet. Furthermore and I’m fully confident when I say this , There are thousands if not millions of people who have managed to obtain financial freedom thanks to activities that they have managed to do successfully on the Internet. Not everyone can do this and the reality is not everyone will do this. Therefore, I reiterate, that I think the best scenario for anybody coming to this country is to create a source of income that you earn over the Internet, and even better if this is a passive source of income.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly Thanks for the reply with regards the US, I had counterparts in the US doing the same job as me, they were earning double what I was earning and worked less hours. I am an engineer, but of course its all about personal experience, the US can be a brutal place and health care in Italy, is far better than the US. In Italy its free! Italy is a big country so for sure racism is not everywhere, but after the England vs Italy Europe cup I had a lot of backlash, even if I am not English! Also I got mistaken a lot for Albanians etc. I got spat at and told to go home and my son was crying when an old man mistook him for english and started giving him abuse.
I agree with you, if people can find remote work, then living in Italy if you got money can be amazing, but as a private business you pay a lot of tax etc and a lot of red tape. Italy is a hard place to live, you need to get lucky to live the good life there. People just need to consider all sides. If you want to go to Europe for jobs DO NOT GO TO ITALY!! Many countries are better. But if you love Italian life its a great place, assuming you can get a job that pays enough for you to enjoy the life there.
Is it easy to find a job there even if I'm foreign?
Yes, and no. I would need more information.
my great grandma was full italian how do i get that
do you mean Italian citizenship?
@@DavidsDoseofItaly yeah, thats what i was meaning
Hi please I need job in Italy I need help
How can I help ?
I want job
I have a very strange man in my head and I want to come to Ottli can you give me a visa
Unfortunately I can’t.
looking for an italian spouse
Good luck!
Find a job is easy.
Find a legal job is a nightmare.
You can find a legal job the question is, can you find one that pays a decent wage?
You can tell this guy works in Italy, the sandbags under his eyes make him seem like a local😂
Is there strip clubs?
Yeah but they aren’t common here.
Do foreign workers have problems with paying a pizzo?
Very interesting screen name!
That’s a great question I would say yes because I think this is a concept that many people are not used to. I did in fact experiences this in a place where I worked about 10 years ago and it was really shocking.
Can i email you? Have a question and would like to buy you a coffee on your links but prefer to use PayPal... thank you!
Sure. My email address is at the bottom of all my video descriptions. Thank you for your interest in my expertise 👍
