Read the following useful information on employment in Italy and then visit Modello Curriculum for more information

The employment situation

Italy has a relatively high unemployment rate, which was officially running at around 8.9 per cent in 2002
It’s difficult for young Italians to get a foothold on the employment ladder due to lack of experience and many young people, even university graduates, attend vocational high schools or special programmes to gain work experience.
Some of the hardest-hit industries of unemployment have been construction, electronics, communications, the media and banking, all traditionally strong sectors.
Many companies have periodic bans on recruitment and expect many employees to accept short-term contracts, rather than life-long security
There’s no national scheme or assistance for the long-term unemployed in Italy

Finding a job

Most national, regional and local newspapers contain a situations vacant or jobs section
Visit local employment offices and other offices in Italy
Local information centres ( informagiovani) are useful for information about jobs, job hunting, education and training, for more details visit their website (www.informagiovani.it ).
Apply to international recruitment agencies acting for Italian companies and foreign companies in Italy
Apply to American, British and other multi-national companies with offices or subsidiaries in Italy, and make written applications direct to Italian companies.
Making unsolicited job applications is naturally a hit and miss affair. It can, however, be more successful than responding to advertisements, as you aren’t usually competing with other applicants.
Your best chance of obtaining certain jobs in Italy is to apply in person, when success is often simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
