How to move to Italy

31% GOOD (13 votes)

Hi!

I'm a Russian girl who wants to go to Italy and probably to stay there.

I didn't decide yet what Italian city I should go to and what I will do there. That's why I ask everyone who can advice me something on this matter to give his advice.

Do you know any Russians who live in Italy? Can you tell me how they live, what they are doing there, where they work etc.? Do you know any Italian web sites where I could find announcements on job in Italy for foreigners? If you can tell me about these or other referring matters, please do it. Your advices are highly appreciated. Ciao!

Sono una ragazza russa che desidera andare all'Italia e probabilmente viverli. Non ho deciso ancora che città italiana dovrei andare e che cosa farò là . Perchè vi chiedo il consiglio. Conoscete qualche russi che vivono in Italia? Posete raccontarmi come vivono, che cosa fanno là , dove lavorano ecc.? Sapete qualche website italiano dove posso trovare gli annunci di lavoro in Italia per gli stranieri? I vostri consigli sono apprezzati.

I met some Italians recently (I have never met any in person before) and found that they differ sharply from Russians (or Russians differ from them). They have different manners, different habits, different points of view…
…they have another mentality in one word…
So now I don’t think it would be easy for me to live among such different nation as Italians.
Perhaps the best choice is to live in Russia and visit Italy time to time...

Thank you for the link Gius.
I was there and even found some vacancies in English. They were posted by Dutch company :-)
Now I’m thinking about other countries. I don’t know whether Netherlands would be good for me. It is not so warm there like in Italy. Also they speak their strange Dutch language…
Perhaps I will post my CV on Monster and other job sites and will wait till an employer find me.

Thank you for your advice Gius.
Regarding my qualification I work as an export sales manager in Russian company. We manufacture and sale our products in many countries all over the world. As a regional sales manager I deal with East-European countries, Italy, Turkey, Greece and others. I know that many Italian companies sell or would like to sell their products abroad so I thought I could work as an export sales manager also in Italy. I even found one vacancy of an Italian company. It was in Italian and I understood just general meaning of it that they need a sales manager for selling in East-European countries and Russia.
The main problem is that I don’t speak Italian. I suppose I could learn it in half a year if I live in Italy but I don’t think any company would wait for this time.

Clarabesque, I don’t think I can join to a working or studying program because I was graduated almost 3 years ago and I work now.
Perhaps I will go to Italy on my annual holidays for rest and acquaintance with the country.
If I finally decide to move to Italy I would have to leave everything there.

Mle, I came to the conclusion that even if I won’t move to Italy my wish to go there will be good for me. Even now my dream of Italy warms me up when it’s cold and snowing here in Moscow. I was born in a warm country. So it’s difficult for me to live in such cold climate and to bear the winter for half a year. I look at the gray Moscow streets with gray snow and imagine colorful streets of Rome and bright Italian sun, and I get better.[br][edited by Anastasia_L on 2005-03-30 09:19:56]

I wish I could recommend another country to you, Anastasia, but I'm an American and my knowledge is probably more limited than yours. Were I to move, I would probably choose Italy, but my husband was born there so it would be easier for us. I wish you luck.

Thank you, Mle.
I still have many doubts whether I should move to Italy.
I found that it would be difficult to find a job there. I don’t want to be a nurse or babysitter.
Also I will have to live somewhere.

So it’s still a big question.
Maybe you can recommend me another European country for movement?
