Greetings to all readers,
I have recently moved from London to Italy (Montecchio) near Pesaro and so I thought I would put a message up on here since I've been here for just over a month now. I am looking for work and would like help, advice or perhaps any info for finding work in bars, restaurants, hotels or warehouse work. It is my dream to live and work in Italy and I would like to fulfill this dream and yet, from every person I speak to I hear about this 'Italian crisis'. I don't want the uttering of a crisis to dampen my spirits of finding a job here in Italy. I am not fussy at all and would have to accept any job I find.
I resigned from my last job (in London) working for Transport for London... yeah I know thats crazy huh? but surely there must be someone out there who knows the moves to make for a newbie in Italy. I have taken a risk and if someone knows any catering agency, or business that would be eager to take me on I would be absolutely grateful.
It is a big change, having moved from the city of London to the Italian countryside, not everything is as convenient as it was in London but I still find myself more happy in Italy.

Welcome and good luck with searching for work. It is not just the crisis that makes it difficult to find work in Italy, there is a different attitude to finding employees. In my experience most jobs go to relatives or to friends. Unless it is a specialist occupation.
You need to tell everyone you meet that you are looking for work. A lot of people fall back on the private English lessons until they find work
Best regards

Your best bet is teaching English. People are always looking for English teachers.
It does help if you have the appropriate qualifications but, in my experience, that's not always a requirement.
Good luck.
