Many students studying abroad in Italy choose to work in their spare time to make money, so how can they find a job? Let’s take a look at the 2019 Work-Study Guide for International Students in Italy.

First, let’s take a look at what conditions need to be met to find a part-time job?

1. Residence

Legal residence is the first priority for every international student. Only when they have legal status can they consider the issues of graduation and working during after-school holidays. Otherwise, everything is a waste of time. Empty talk. Italian law stipulates that Chinese students holding a student residence permit are only valid for one year. After the expiration of their residence permit each year, they must submit their transcripts and other relevant materials from the previous year to the Immigration Bureau for review.

The Italian transcript refers to the subjects that must be passed at least every year. At least one subject must be passed in the first year, and at least two subjects should be passed every year thereafter. In addition, there is a maximum number of years to complete studies, and students cannot apply for unlimited student residence.

2. Language

As far as I know, as a foreign student, his language cannot reach the level of local people, and besides his own major, he does not have very good skills. Looking for a good job Work is difficult. New international students should not be in a hurry to find a job. They must first master the language and break through the language barrier as soon as possible. Once you pass the language test, as a foreigner, you can find a more decent job.

3. Working time limit

Italian law stipulates that students can only work 20 hours a week (no limit on winter and summer vacations), and students’ exams and school activities must also be taken up Many times, this is an important factor that prevents some companies from hiring international students.

4. Work experience

International students lack work experience, and they also have no work experience. Generally, companies will first consider finding a full-time novice, but with insufficient work experience and unstable hours, they can be hired at any time. Students who are likely to resign are really not very attractive to them

Let’s see how to find a job?

1. Newspapers

Most national, regional and local newspapers contain a vacancy or work section (Offerte di Lavoro or Offerte di Collaborazione) on certain days of the week. Milan daily Corriere della Sera published a job supplement for Corriere Lavoro (/corrierelavoro) on Friday, as well as financial newspaper "Il Sole 24 Ore", which announced university graduate Cerco Lavoro-Giovani on Monday and published a supplement for Lavoro & Carriere.

There are also specialized local and national newspapers, such as Il Posto (Jobs) and Il Concorso (listing civil service and local government jobs), in Naples, Trova Lavoro and Bollettino Del Lavoro (), a monthly Publications are available in the employment office and library. Work is also advertised in industrial and commercial newspapers and magazines. Ask locals which publications and dates are best for job ads.

Most major newspapers and magazines have websites and you can usually access the Vacancies section for free, and local and national newspapers are available in Italian libraries, bars and cafes, so you don't necessarily need to buy one. International news agencies, trade and business centres, expatriate organizations and social clubs also provide Italian newspapers abroad (although they do not always include an "Appointment" or "Vacancy" section).

Most professional and trade associations publish journals containing job opportunities (see Benn's "Media Directory Europe"), and jobs are also advertised in a variety of English-language publications, including the International Herald Tribune, Wall Street Journal Europe", "Rome Wanted" and other local publications.

You can also place an ad in the area where you want to work in the "Wanted Situation" section of a local Italian newspaper. If you are a member of a recognized profession or trade, you may place an ad in a newspaper or magazine that is specific to your profession or industry. It is best to place an ad on the weekends and avoid summer and other holidays.

2. Employment Office

Visit the local employment agency (uffici di collocamento) and other offices in Italy. The jobs on offer are mainly unskilled, semi-skilled and unskilled jobs, particularly in the industrial, retail and catering sectors.

3. Information centers and libraries

Local information centers (informagiovani) are useful for information about work, job search, education and training. The main library is also available for job seekers A range of resources, although they do not offer counseling and assistance to the unemployed as in some other countries.

4. Recruitment agencies

International recruitment agencies suitable for Italian companies and Italian foreign companies. These companies primarily help recruit executives and key personnel, and many have offices around the world, including in many Italian cities (see our Employment Agencies section).

Some Italian institutions may only find positions for foreigners from Italian and EU countries or with residence permits.

5. Chamber of Commerce

The Italian Foreign Chamber of Commerce (camera di commercialio) maintains a list of member companies with operations (or affiliates) in Italy. Italian Chambers of Commerce abroad are also a useful source of information, and the European Information Centers (EIC) are also found in major EU cities.

Finally, let’s take a look at some common jobs.

1. Restaurant waiter/cashier/Kitchen-hand (kitchen-hand):

This type of job is more suitable for careful and diligent students, and there are many job opportunities here. Meet foreigners and learn about local culture and spoken language.

2. Newspaper delivery worker/milk delivery driver/PIZZA delivery driver:

This type of job generally requires students to prepare their own vehicles and be familiar with the routes around the school. Lu Chi, we still don’t do this type of work.

3. Cleaners/factory helpers/moving company porters/security guards:

As soon as you hear the types of these jobs, you will know that they require strong students. The general hourly wage is 17- AUD 24, with higher hourly wages for evening shifts. It should be noted that this type of work consumes a lot of physical energy, and if you do it too much without taking a good rest, it will affect your study and body.

4. Part-time accountant/part-time Chinese teacher/part-time customer service, etc.:

This type of part-time job is relatively good among international students and does not require too much time and energy. , and the wages will be too low.
