Hi. I was curious as to advice on the best way to find a teaching job in italy. I am finishing my degree in history and want to teach english in Italy.
I prefer Florence but just as long as I get to Italy and make a decent living wage anywhere in the country works.
Clearly I would need a work visa and want the whole process to be ligit in case I want to stay long term and get citizenship.
What is a good way/best way to get a job there. I was thinking a good way is to plan a trip to Italy, make a list of schools that I think might want a native english teacher, go and apply with a CV, bringing my orginal and copies of my college degree, orginal and copies of college transcript and giving it a shot. Hoping to get the connections needed so that when I return to the USA I can work with that school to getting the work Visa and moving to teach.
Is this a good way or not? Now I would have to work a while here in the USA, I am working while finishing school now, to save money so I can afford that trip to go.
I hear connections are the easiest way and this seems like a logical idea. I don't know how it would be to mail/fax my CV and copies of everything to schools and see if I can get a job that way, a main issue for me is ensuring it is ligit with a ligit contract.
So thanks for any and all advice! it is greatly needed! I speak native english from the USA, of course, and I speak ok and write Italian alright, I can hold my own and I am taking courses now to improve it and I can read italian best out of reading, writing, and speaking.
Thanks again!
