Teaching English in Italy  Teaching English in Italy

"Red tape is most daunting in Italy, and work permits are virtually impossible for non-E.U. citizens to obtain. There is a pronounced bias towards hiring Britons. Yet there are also those willing to hire qualified Americans." —Susan Griffith in Teaching English In Europe.

As Deborah Bassett reports in Teaching English in Milan, there are many underground jobs in Italy and with a bit a persistence, there are many job opportunities.

See Working and Networking in Italy  by Emma Bird, who provides inside tips on finding jobs. In Italy networking for a job can be as important as your credentials, which as an English speaker should not be underestimated, reports a woman who works both as an English teacher and a journalist. Also see her article on Teach English in Italy: Insider Knowledge on Landing a Job in a Public School for more.
