Getting work in Italy is difficult at the moment, and it also depends on which country you come from. If you have a passport from a EU country then you can work legally in Italy. However, if you're from the US or Canada you can only stay in the country as a tourist for 90 days out of every 180 days without a visa, and you cannot work during this time. There are long-stay visas, but even then you need to prove that you can support yourself financially without working. To work in Italy you will need to be offered a job first, then the employer will provide a work visa, but the employer then has to prove that no Italian or EU citizen is available to fill that position. You'll also find it very difficult to find any sort of work in Italy if you cannot speak the language.

i think the best work you can find is as mother tongue/baby sitter or as teacher in an english school or as a private english teacher as a teacher you can ask about 20 euro/h

Why would you expect the ads to be in any other language? Working here would require you to be able to understand and speak Italian. That said, the healthcare industry may be the best opportunity for people looking for work in this difficult economy. Moving to another country is not easy, especially with the current world economy. EU citizens have the right to live and work freely here; others require a visa to do so legally. The following applies to non-EU citizens who want to work in the EU in general and Italy in particular. The site for visas here in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply. It also includes education visas which are somewhat easier to get than work visas. You can find similar information for other countries on their consulate websites. The rules in much of the EU have been harmonized and will be similar. You cannot apply for the visa from Italy; you need to do that before you arrive. When you get here, you will have to apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno (Permission to Stay) from the authorities. With the economy now, jobs are scarce - a lot of companies have a hiring freeze in place. The unemployment rate in Spain is around 20% for example and almost 50% in the 16 to 24 year old age group. A work permit is separate - you cannot apply for that yourself. The company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job. As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience. When I got my visa several years ago, the process took about 8 months even though it was just a transfer of a job I was already doing from the US to Italy. There are working holiday visas available in Ireland or Australia for US citizens, but not in the rest of Europe. However, in the current economy, jobs are likely to be hard to find. Many of the recent university graduates I know here are either unemployed or working jobs like cashier at groceries. Casual jobs for traveler's are few and far between right now. It's useful to check the expat sites for information about living and working in the places you might be interested in: http://www.expatsinitaly.com/ http://www.escapeartist.com/ http://www.expatica.com/ There are similar sites specific to just about any country you might be interested in that you can find by searching for "ex pat" or "expat" and the name of the country; these are oriented to Italy because that's where I moved. Generally, the expat sites will have a lot of good information on daily life and negotiating the bureaucracy when you arrive and provide you with useful information you should know before you make the transition. The websites of the consulates of the countries you might be interested in are also a good starting point. I'm not aware of anyone who is hiring currently in the city where I live and some business are cutting back on employees. The cost of living here is generally higher than in the US. In addition, you would want to check the tax situation carefully. Here in Italy, I have to file returns in both the US and Italy every year as a US expat. It can be quite complex and expensive.

I think that the last answer is very exhaustive, but if you need something else ask to me. I'm Italian and live in Rome. Good luck!
