Hi
So, I have been here in Napoli for 1 year now, and, omg, it really is impossible to find a job here! No matter how good English or good Italian I speak (yes, even if I speak Italian), no matter how flexible, versatile or intelligent I am, it really seems to be all worthless!
I just need to assess the situation in a realistic way. I am dentist and freelance translator (sounds like an odd "career couple", i know). I have settled all my legal documents, including registering in the "Dental Council" here (l'ordine dei medici e degli odontoiatri)...but there is still something that I don't understand.
Alright, everybody here in Napoli actually admits it's dauntingly difficult to get hired here...
So, my question to all up-north Italians around here: is it the same in the North?
Do foreign dentists ever get hired?
What if I am a dentist, but I would simply just like to do something else, is the field of study absolutely crucial to get hired somewhere?
Opinions and experiences will be much appreciated.
Grazie in anticipio!
