That's one of the disadvantages when you move to another country… You are a university graduate and it's a shame you are regarded an inexperienced worker now…I really find it unfair because, besides law school studies and practice, you are a witty person and probably you will have to compromise with something inferior to you competence…Of course you never know what happens next and you have to discover it ! Just saying….

I've been living in Italy for almost 7 years now and the job related stuff was hard from the beginning. Starting almost from zero despite university degree and previous work experience made me feel like I was moving backwards. Now I'm doing a second degree in an unrelated field because I feel that a national diploma is worth way more than my foreign one. Greetings from Bolzano!
NICE VIDEO
I just started a brand new part time job, commission only, where I have to in-person cold call. It’s daunting! So I can only imagine. But you got this! ❤
open up a small bakery !!
❤❤❤
Loved this vlog👐
Bravo! I admire your moxie. It is hard enough to find employment in your home country, where you are fluent in your language. Yet, the challenge of finding employment in a country where you are not as fluent in the language of that country as those who are native speakers makes the effort to attain employment that much more difficult. This is why I applaud immigrants, who go to any nation that speaks a different language than the one they were raised in. It takes a special strength of character and adventurous spirit to meet such a challenge. It maybe partly that crucible that makes the immigrant experience so inspirational, and it is probably the reason that, provided there are ample opportunities and lack of discrimination, why immigrant communities are so rife with success stories. Surmounting this language hurdle forges a resilience like none other. I wish you all the best in your employment endeavors!
I'm enjoying your content so much, especially as I am in a similar situation as an American expat in the Netherlands. I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in this strange, anxiety-ridden job struggle 🙂 I was working for a Dutch NGO and it was a complete disaster, so I decided to go back to my culinary roots and am working as a baker here in NL. I think it's great you are pursuing it! I'm not sure if you've worked in a kitchen before, but just a word of caution — I do think baking as a profession is overly romanticized. It's extremely physically taxing and can be very monotonous. I really don't say that to discourage you, because I do love what I do. I moreso say it to remind you to take very good care of yourself — drink your water, go to bed early, and eat well so you can continue to create great content and avoid burnout. Best of luck!
What's your coffee machine? I desperately need this in my life.
Thank you for sharing this honestly it helps people like myself feel less alone, I relate a lot to this in a slightly different way. I’m currently in the UK my partner & I are applying for a perm visa for australia but it’s taking alot longer than we thought, so it’s hard to stay motivated tbh at times. I’d love to just move to another country until we get the visa.
Maybe could you do a vid at some point about the visa uour on for Italy or the journey you went from Scotland to deciding to move to Italy?
Thank you for all your kind words and shared stories, folks! 💛
What is your favorite type of snacks? Mine are cookies
Don't be discouraged. I moved to another country in my 40s , started from beginning. You are young, fabulous and so, so brave. It's a challenge but you will make it. Guarantee.
Hi! I've recently come across your channel via Tiktok…I'm also from the UK and have been living in Veneto for 11 years. Good luck with the job hunt!
Good luck with the job search!
Break a leg?
Does that apply outside performance jobs?😁
Ok, so.. Break a leg.. in a good way?😀
As a person who moved to another country to find better job opportunities, I would like to telle you that it will all be worth it in the end. I know it is nerve racking and mentally exhausting when job hunting but you will get a job you really love. It needs lots of patience and perseverance but it will all work out eventually. Sending lots of positive energy and wishing you the very best of luck xx
love this! just moved to france from the usa and it’s been a ride
All the best for the job hunt! Even hearing about it takes me back to the anxiety of the time, effort, and repeated disappointment that is looking for a job – and I did it all in my home country! I sincerely hope it works out soon!
Hello, I just wanted to say good luck to you in your job hunt! I have lived in Italy for almost 7 years, my son and I have British nationality, my husband is French/Greek, and my experience at the Questura in Milan was horrendous. Even though we had lived here for years prior to Brexit and had Carta Identità etc it was still a complete trial with misinformation given and many backwards steps. Finally got the damn Carta di Soggiorno on Friday 🎉 . In response to an earlier message, I can’t really imagine how someone would move from the UK post Brexit without an established job offer, Italian husband or Italian family members as the system is incredibly difficult to navigate and not flexible in any way. It’s really sad that freedom of movement has been restricted.
all the best for your job search 💗💗💗💗💗 sending positivity ✨
I think you would enjoy working in a school as a dinner lady
7 months is crazy long … Wow I'm glad your enjoying life in Italy.. I've been to pisa Turin Milan Rome I love Italy so much..
you don't need to speak Italian to bake a cake mate, get it done
What does humble pie taste like? Do you think Waitrose will have any?
why do you want to come in italy? People are all escaping from this country. Be prepared to pay thousand of euro in taxes.
If you’d be AT ALL interested in being a native speaker in a school, that might be a good option (to get started)
Completely understand how you are feeling, I recently decided my uni course wasn’t for me and now 22 in the big wide world and trying to figure out applying for jobs and what I want to do ect! It’s terrifying but this video helped a lot! Thanks! Good luck 🙂
Love your recipes! Amazing brownies👏 How long do you plan on staying in Italy? Good luck with the job search!
You can do it! Sending all the luck for the job hunting 🍀
You got this gal.
I also studied law (in Scotland funnily enough, altho I’m from NI) and some people are very confused when it comes up that I have a degree in law but don’t want to pursue it further. Other people who studied it seem to understand completely tho 😅
Omg the anxiety of applying for jobs is REAL
