Italian lesson - contratto di lavoro a tempo determinato

Hi, Your information on contracts is useful.  I am currently looking for work, I do not speak very good italian, so I would like to improve my italian and earn some money.  I was told by a local resident that you can do courses here for stranerei to imparare italian, I was also told by a fellow employee at the commune that they can help you find lavoro.  This information was to be found at my local commune by the sociale.  Yesterday I went to my local commune and finally met the sociale, after 6 attempts on previous days over the last 3 weeks.  However, although the social worker a lady there spoke english, I was happy to practise my italian.  But she took the opportunity to practise her english?  The courses they do are not in my local town but several kilometres away, however it is libero.  The information she gave me was very basic, it was a case of her looking on the internet and giving me the address of the school and the telephone no.  She said the course will not begin til September.  But given my italian is not very good, I hope when I call the school they understand me - If not I will back to see the social worker - So she can finish off doing her job properly.  As for help with work, she merely took me to the commune notice board and went through the jobs on the board, telling me what I would be able to do. So when she had finished, I gave her a copy of my CV, already translated into Italian. I said my english was good, and as alot italians want to learn english would it be possible for see if I could teach english.  I said I would be happy to help my local area, with my knowledge and asked her if she could pass it on to the various relevant people in her office.I may not speak Italian but I am not stupid, I worked in the center of London for major investment banks as a PA, secretary to Managing Directors. I really can't wait to speak italian, to no longer be treated badly.  I do feel sorry for many italians.  As they put up with poor services from both private and public sector.  Italy is a nice country with a lot to offer, they just need to get organised and realise they are in competition with other countries in europe that are more professional and less corrupt.Your information is very useful I only wish the the local cummune could provide someone who has an idea, like you have.  Contracts of work are important andd even more so if you do not speak italian very well.  If you have any other pearls of wisdom please pass them on..

Thank you once again for your help, it really is most useful.  The job market in italy isn't doing too well at the moment, but the cost of living (inflation) is still out of control here. So money coming in at the moment is a bit of a necessity.  Also I have my permesso to live here, but until I find work I can't officially have a doctor! So another benefit to finding proper employment.  I do like Italy, but do find it hard to live here.  People here are ill informed, unlike the UK where information is everywhere and everyone is informed of their rights.  I do think the Italian government like their people to be kept in the dark, so they can carry in their corrupt manner.  Hopefully the EU will sort some of these types of problems.  To make a better Italy for everyone not just the rich few/politicians etc...

Hi Valentine.In Italy you can have a Partita Iva and be a Libero Professionista.You should apply for a Partita Iva at the Camera di Commercio. This will enable you to work for as many private organizations as you can afford to, in the same period. Usually a Libero Professionista works on Progetti (see "contratto a progetto" above).Good luck for you projects :)Will PM you with a good language course. 

 Hi George,I'm afraid I can't help you. Maybe you should contact the administrators of that website.Good luck for your future plans!
