Jobs in Italy

The simplest and quickest way to find a job these days is to search directly on the Internet.

Look at the figures. The number of employers using the Internet to recruit people has increased threefold every year in the last two years.
Some major companies, particularly in certain sectors like IT, conduct as much as 90 per cent of their recruitment through Internet job advertisements, mainly published on online recruitment agencies, websites specialized in matching job-seekers and employers.
Many multinational companies as a rule publish their job vacancies on the web.
The Net has simplified many job-seeking processes. Until not long ago it was difficult to find, for example, a job in a different country before leaving home. But now the Net has made that search easier.

Another benefit of online job search is the much greater information about employers and recruiters you can gather quickly and cheaply. A career seeker who is better informed and more focused is already starting with an advantage.
In the US, looking for work on-line is already common practice. But Europe, including Italy, is catching up, too. A proof of that is a book recently published in Italy, entitled Trovare lavoro con Internet (Finding a job with the Internet), which asks the rhetorical question: «... in the US a great part of job searches is carried out on the Net. Why not try it in Italy too?».

My advice, then, is to start immediately using the Internet, where practically everything one needs can be found in real time.

The following recruitment sites help you to find employment in Italy as well as in other European countries, in North America or in other parts of the world. They let you carry out job search of various types, post on-line your resume to their site, and some of them have job vacancies that you can browse and view.

A tip: to search for jobs in Italy or in another country other than the USA, on the homepage select Sitemap and then Overseas Jobs. In the Work Abroad Job Search that follows, the country you are "Coming From" must be different from the country you are "Going To", but it doesn't matter what you choose to put in the first field. In the second field select Europe, and type the search keyword "Italy". If you type "Italia" the job descriptions will be in Italian, but you will get more job vacancies results.
