20 19 Guide to Work-study Program for Italian Students

Many students studying in Italy will choose to work in their spare time to make money, so how can they find a job? Let's take a look at the 20 19 work-study program guide for Italian students.

First of all, let's see what conditions we need to meet when looking for a part-time job.

1. Live

Legal residence is the top priority for every international student. Only when you have legal status can you consider graduation and working in after-school holidays, otherwise everything will be empty talk. According to Italian law, students from China who hold residence are only valid for one year. After the expiration of their annual residence, they must submit their transcripts and other relevant materials of the previous year to the Immigration Bureau for examination.

Italian report card is a subject that must be passed at least every year, at least one in the first year and at least two in the future. In addition, there is a maximum number of years to complete their studies, and they cannot apply for student residence indefinitely.

2. Language

As far as I know, as an international student, my language can't reach the local level, and besides my major, I don't have any good skills, so it is difficult to find a good job. Foreign students who are new here should not rush to work. First of all, they should master the language and break through the language barrier as soon as possible. Only by passing the language test can you find a decent job like a foreigner.

3. Working time limit

According to Italian law, students only have 20 working hours per week (not limited to winter and summer vacations), and students' exams and school activities also take up a lot of time, which is also an important factor why some enterprises are unwilling or unable to hire international students.

4. Work experience

International students lack work experience, and neither do they. General enterprises will first consider finding a full-time novice, but students with insufficient work experience and unstable time may resign at any time, which is really not attractive to them.

Then let's see how to find a job.

newspaper

Most national, regional and local newspapers publish vacancies or jobs on certain days of the week. Milan daily Corriere della Sera published the supplementary information of Corriere Lavoro (/Corriere Lavoraro) on Friday, the financial news "Il Sole 24 Ore". On Monday, it published university graduate Cerco Lavoro-Giovani and published Lavoro &: Carriere added.

There are also specialized local and national newspapers, such as Il Posto (work) and Il Concorso (listing civil servants and local government positions) in Naples, Trova Lavoro and Bollettino Del Lavoro, and monthly magazines in employment offices and libraries. Business newspapers and magazines will also publish job advertisements. Ask local people which publications and dates are best for job advertisements.

Most major newspapers and magazines have websites. Usually, you can visit the vacant section for free. Italian libraries, bars and cafes all provide local and national newspapers, so you don't have to buy them. International news agencies, trade and business centers, foreign organizations and social clubs also provide Italian newspapers abroad (although they do not always include "appointments" or "vacancies").

Most professional and trade associations publish periodicals containing job opportunities (see Benn's Media Catalogue Europe), and job opportunities are also published in various English publications, including local publications such as Tribune International Herald, European Wall Street Journal and Rome Recruitment.

You can also advertise the area where you want to work in the "What do you want" column of the local Italian newspaper. If you are a recognized professional or industry member, you can advertise your major or industry in newspapers or magazines. It's best to put an advertisement on weekends to avoid holidays such as summer.

2. Employment agencies

Visit the local employment agency (uffici di collocamento) and other Italian offices. The jobs provided are mainly non-professional, semi-technical and non-technical, especially in industry, retail and catering.

3. Information centers and libraries

Informagiovani is very useful for information about work, job hunting, education and training. Major libraries also provide a series of resources for job seekers, although they don't provide advice and help to the unemployed like some other countries.

4. Recruitment agencies

International recruitment agencies for Italian companies and Italian foreign companies. These companies mainly help recruit executives and key personnel, and many of them have offices all over the world, including many Italian cities (see our employment agency section). Some Italian institutions may only find jobs for foreigners or residence permits from Italy and EU countries.

5. Chamber of Commerce

The Italian Foreign Chamber of Commerce (camera di commercialio) keeps a list of member companies (or subsidiaries) operating in Italy. The Italian Overseas Chamber of Commerce is also a useful source of information, and the European Union Information Center (EIC) is also located in major cities of the European Union.

Finally, let's look at some common jobs.

1. Restaurant waiter/cashier/kitchen helper:

This kind of work is more suitable for diligent students, where they can get in touch with foreigners and get to know the local culture and spoken language with the help of work opportunities.

2. Paper delivery/milk delivery/pizza delivery driver:

This kind of work generally requires students to prepare their own vehicles and be familiar with the routes around the school. We still don't do this kind of work for road crazy students.

3. Cleaner/factory helper/moving company porter/security guard:

As soon as you heard about these types of jobs, you knew you needed strong students. Average hourly wage 17-24 Australian dollars, and the hourly wage for night shift is higher. It should be noted that this kind of work will consume a lot of physical strength. If you do too much and don't have a good rest, it will affect your study and health.

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

Among international students, this kind of part-time job is better, it doesn't need to spend too much time and physical strength, and the salary will be too low.
