HOW TO FIND AN INTERNATIONAL JOB ABROAD
and in MALTA in particular
Orientation for an international job and your Work experience abroad for a European and International Curriculum
The future is yours, take it in your hand … Job skills work out!
It is often argued that the education system in Italy and Europe ends up not building specialization and continues to keep distance from the world of work, offering paths that are too long that lead young pupils to enter the world of work with an extreme delay compared to pupils coming from the various countries of Europe or the world.
Often the problem is that the students do not know what they want to do and are not able to build their own future.
The need to link the study to the practical and direct experience is becoming more and more compelling and the recent inclusion in the schools of school-work alternation is proof of this, but young people are often not able to value their own talents and to open a path for the future.
It is time to move to give our children a better future and it is time for young people who want to build a future to find out lost enthusiasm to do so.
The least advanced school systems for some years have been called to deal with the new socio-economic context, not only Italian but international, to offer students “skills that can be used in the world of work”.
What does the new labor market require?
It requires quality skills that cannot stop at the in-depth study of literary and scientific subjects but must have contextualized learning, direct relationships between knowledge and direct and practical experience, involvement, adaptation to the changing technological and social contexts.
The experience of mobility and of work abroad, enriches the cultural and experiential baggage of the boys also in anticipation of the future insertion in the labor market through the extension of practical training in a different context than the national one and with the use of the English language.
Students get in touch with the culture and traditions of a different country as well as being outside the family environment, knowing how to adapt to the habits and behavior of other people undoubtedly lead to developing individual and relational skills that are strongly demanded in the current labor markets
Furthermore, the study and intensive practice of English, including specialized language, is certainly an additional qualifying skill in the student’s study path. Experience abroad offers a truly high-level educational opportunity that can become distinctive in the curriculum of young people.
In order to respond to the growing demand from young people, eager to increase their skills in English to enter a wider job market with a distinctive curriculum and to offer an orientation service to the professional world, also combining the challenging try to get in touch with a foreign reality outside the comfort area, we have planned 3 projects in Malta or Ireland
Malta and Ireland are an even more attractive solution because in the face of a process linked to Brexit it will become more burdensome both economically and for compliance, with additional costs for health cover and residence permits, visa etc., representing a more straightforward solution from a regulatory point of view, than choosing a destination such as UK

HOW TO FIND AN INTERNATIONAL JOB ABROAD
La scelta di trasferirsi a vivere all’estero non è mai facile e spesso serve una spinta iniziale per iniziare l’avventura, uno stimolo che faccia scattare la molla come una delusione, la perdita o la mancanza di un’occupazione, l’assenza di stimoli al lavoro, il cattivo umore al risveglio prima di andare in ufficio, i continui stage mal pagati .
Lasciare la famiglia, i parenti, gli amici, il paese in cui si è nati e cresciuti non è una decisione facile, ma se vi scatta la molla occorre poi passare alla fase progettuale.
Eccovi alcuni semplici consigli dall’apparenza banali ma che bisogna tenere in mente quando si va alla ricerca di un lavoro all’estero
La conoscenza linguistica
Occorre innanzitutto una buona conoscenza di una lingua straniera. Se non si ha quella è difficile partire e pertanto è meglio organizzare un periodo per dedicarsi allo studio di una lingua. Si puo’ partire dai siti internet ma non focalizzatevi tanto sulla grammatica ma quanto sulle capacità di esprimervi , di parlare, di sostenere una conversazione. Ovviamente si potrà scegliere il paese estero ove trasferirsi a lavorare e vivere in base alle conoscenze linguistiche che si hanno.
Un buon curriculum
Sia che ci si presenti con una laurea sia con un diploma o una competenza professionale, scrivere un buon curriculum è il primo biglietto da visita.
Si puo’ utilizzare il modello di Curriculum vitae Europeo anche se di certo non è accattivante pertanto consigliamo di variarlo a piacimento. Un buon curriculum presentato su Linkedin per lavori qualificati è un altro ottimo punto di partenza
Deve iniziare con i propri dati anagrafici, il percorso di studi (senza partire dalle elementari ), le esperienze lavorative, i ruoli ricoperti, le conoscenze linguistiche e altre conoscenze rilevanti (informatiche ecc).
Deve essere schematico, al massimo due pagine, ben impaginato e senza errori di ortografia o grammatica. Ovviamente sarà redatto in una lingua straniera e questo vi potrà risultare piu’ difficile . Imparate ad usare i correttori presenti in word ma non fidatevi solo di quelli. Possibilmente fate rileggere e correggere il curriculum da qualcuno che ha una buona padronanza della lingua straniera che state utilizzando
Trovarsi sul posto
Per cercare lavori non qualificati nella ristorazione come camerieri, aiuto cuoco, pizzaioli, oppure per commessi in negozi o per lavori legati al mondo dell’edilizia come muratori, piastrellisti, imbianchini ecc. è necessario trovarsi sul posto e spesso una ricerca camminando tra le vie delle città alla ricerca di cartelli sui ristoranti, bar, sulle vetrine dei negozi o chiedendo nei cantieri aperti puo’ risultare piu’ fruttuosa di altro. Esistono anche giornali locali o siti internet ove vengono pubblicizzate le richieste di lavoro.
Per lavori piu’ qualificati si puo’ partire da una ricerca on line attraverso diversi siti che offrono lavoro all’estero come CAREERJET.COM e REEDGLOBLAL.COM e GIGAJOB.COM e stabilire i primi colloqui anche via skype o telefonicamente .
Prepararsi prima del colloquio
Occorre prepararsi a fare una buona presentazione di se stessi, a valorizzare le proprie capacità, le esperienze fatte in relazione specifica al lavoro che ci viene offerto, a mostrare sicurezza e affidabilità soprattutto perché quasi sicuramente dovrete sostenere il colloquio in una lingua straniera .Non abbiate timore a provare a fare una presentazione di voi stessi ad un amico o a voce alta davanti ad uno specchio. Qualora non sia una società di selezione ma sia un colloquio diretto cercate di studiare l’azienda dove andrete a fare l’intervista attraverso una visione almeno dei loro siti web o delle informazioni che ricaverete da internet e preparatevi qualche domanda da fare al vostro interlocutore che possa mostrare conoscenza e interesse per quella specifica azienda.
Problema visti per l’estero
In Europa esiste la libera circolazione delle persone mentre in Usa , Australia e Asia occorre avere un visto per trasferirsi a lavorare in quei paesi ed è necessario verificare i requisiti richiesti
HOW TO FIND AN INTERNATIONAL JOB in MALTA
Apart from what above described, here are some precise directions and tips for finding a job in Malta
Linguistic knowledge:
good knowledge of English is needed, at higher levels for qualified jobs. If you do not know English Malta can be a good starting point to learn it. In Malta English is the official language, it is easy to attend international communities and there are many qualified schools where to attend English courses at much cheaper costs than in England.
Find yourself on the spot
For jobs in the tourism and hotel sector or in the shops it is advisable to be on the spot and to visit the main towns such as Sliema, Valletta, Bugibba among the hotels, restaurants, shops before the start of the tourist season, which goes from March to October, or visit job search sites in local newspapers and the internet. The hourly wages offered are not high (between 4-5 euro base) even if in Malta the cost of living is on average lower than in Italy, particularly in northern Italy, but you can also use the work experience for improving English.
Good curriculum in English
For more qualified jobs you need a good curriculum in English and pay attention to the grammar and spelling to not immediately give a bad impression. Get help with writing in English if you are not so sure in the language to avoid mistakes. If, on average, the Maltese do not speak refined English, it must instead take into consideration that local professionals have often studied in England and know English perfectly with an Oxford accent and many companies are international with people from different countries with native English or almost English.
Before the interview
As already said before, prepare to hold an interview in a foreign language trying to make a presentation of themselves and the experiences made in relation to the specific job position sought. If it is a direct interview with the company do not go without information about it.
Jobs in the IT, finance and gaming sectors are highly sought after in Malta
Sites to look for work:
The Maltese Government website is a good place to start looking for a job: http://www.etc.gov.mt/Index.aspx but also to get useful information or to participate in training courses.
