 Emilia-Romagna region.
Morten... you really DON'T wanna come to Italy to WORK, unless you've got
pleasure out of self-inflicted pain.
Do your homework to know WHY.
You've been warned!

I'd be thrilled to know why Italy would be a terrible country
to work in. Any hints would be most helpful...
:Morten

 to work in. Any hints would be most helpful...
It's not so simple, Morten :-)
For example, you should find great to come here, buy a little B&B on the
Chianti hills (tuscany, not Emilia-Romagna) and welcome all tourists giving
them your genuine cheese and your foot-made wine.
Actually it's not a good moment here for IT, ICT, research & development and
similar sectors.
It's just because "we" seem to be intentioned to become like Greece: we have
Florence, we have Venice, we have Naples and we have Sicily, so why becoming
mad trying to be competitive in (for example) the spatial sector?
Unfortunately "we" will soon realize we're not like Hawaii; we're more
similar to Greece: Athen has its wonderful Parthenon but it is surrounded by
smog, traffic, short men smoking awful cigarettes and so on :-)
It seems my Emilia-Romagna is not so bad for the job you are looking for...
my company itself is looking for a PHP programmer and it hasn't found him
(her) yet.
After rejoying, please evaluate the opportunity to work for us (as you don't
know italian, it would be a problem hehehe) for... uhm... something like
14.000 euros/year.
Here, in Bologna, a guy hardly can live for his own with such an income.
Please forgive my english (learnt while programming, huh!) and feel free to
ask for further information.
My best wishes,
F.B.

ok
I will try.
1) The economy of Italy is not in good behaviour
2) The salaries are normally lower than in other european countries
3) The best ICT enterprise are normally in Milan...
4) It is nearly impossible to find a job as employee... You can find job as
consultant and so on. (in some cases this is not important)
Now seems that ecomony is recovering ... but... The economic 'guru' tell us
these word from 2002....
HTH
bye!

 like 14.000 euros/year.
14.000 euros/year is meant free of taxes I hope.
If is so, that means is like 26.000 euros gross, well is really not so much.
My girlfriend has move from Holland to Italy at the beginning of this year
and she cannot find a job because she don't speak a very good Italian.
She have a very good school education but here in Italy only a little amount
of person speaks english so is not so easy.
Anyway I wish you good luck for the future

Hint: Housing costs more than you'll be paid , so you won't be able to
support yourself with a job like that, if you can find any, considering that
you don't speak italian, and you won't be living with your parents making
them paying the bills until you'll be at least forty, and there's no social
law protecting you and your income when you finish your two-to-three months
project for what you'd be hired to make.
Do you REALLY need to know more? Google your way about italy's job market,
and be happy you're norwegian...
BTW, any job for a MS system administrator in Norway? I don't mind the cold,
I speak six languages including danish, and I could even double as a pro
guitarist playing anything from polka to Jazz Fusion.

PS: I've actually played in Norway in '84, '85, '87 and '93, '94 and '95
with three different bands... does it count for something, Morten, uh?

I agree, don't try to come here to work in the IT field or you will
end up hating this country. As a matter of fact many italian graduates are
now trying
to leave Italy. Have you thought about going to Spain?
Matteo

 She have a very good school education
Hehehe: maybe this is her problem haha! As time passes "we" are no more so
famous in the world because of our "education" and our culture ha!
;-)
F.B.

 Have you thought about going to Spain?
He wants not only to come here, but to find a job in Emilia-Romagna.
As far as a certain skill still lives among girls of my city, i guess
there's a woman starring in his story.
:-)
F.B.
(ok, in Spain they have penelope cruz, but maybe he's already gone, fallen
in love for someone else who live here)

 because of your unusual italian accent, or a desidered call-centre
Yeah... i've noted a common fashion to use foreign accent woman in TV spot
and more.... normally i avoid to buy that product... ;-) may be better they
begin to learn to speak (yes... i am an horrible guy! ;-)).
Ciao!

Hi all,
This all sounds very depressing, and I don't think my girlfriends
parents will
let us move in with them... :) There must be some light in the tunnel,
right?
..or maybe I should just open a bar on the coast and "steal" the fat
germans money... :)

Good question. I always wondered that myself too. Italy is not a poor
country (well, ok, apart from some areas) but definetely career prospects
are among the worst in europe. Something has got to do with cultural
values, like networking is really an essential skill (well, it's useful
everywhere but in Italy is almost everything). From some points of view,
also the concept of work seems the same as it was in the medieval times
when the Lord of the castles was letting his citizens working for him in
exchange of bread. The most common words you will hear from your managers
are that if you don´t like the job, you are welcome to quit and that there
are so many others knocking on the door willing to work for a piece of
bread, and that you are so lucky that is giving you a job. That's
depressing, quite right. Something has got to do also with the tendency of
people to live with their parents until they get married. This diminished
autonomy means that you need less money and so they are willing to accept
less since they can always count on family help, a very traditional custom
for most of the italians. And then you go outside and you see people with
very expensive clothes, luxury 4x4 and jewelry all over them. There is
money in Italy but it's just not fairly distributed, and unproductive
money will certainly get lost sooner or later. Of course, as usual nothing
is so black&white, but more in grey tones, and you may have luck and get a
decent job in a decent company but you can't take it for granted and be
prepared for the worst. However, if you really want it, I think you should
still try it, you will always have a cultural experience. 
Anyway, best luck. Franco.
