How to apply for jobs in Italy: CV format, application etiquette, and where to search (EN)

Many international students apply widely in Italy and receive few or no responses — often not for lack of qualifications, but because the Italian application process follows conventions that are rarely made explicit. 93% of recruiters now use ATS software that scores a CV before a human reads it, and Italian companies still recruit first through personal referrals (35%), ahead of LinkedIn (31%) and specialised job sites (30%). This session makes those unwritten rules explicit. Topics covered:

• The CV: what recruiters in Italy expect, what ATS software reads, and the formatting choices that lead to rejection — with before/after examples
• Application etiquette: cover letter tone, follow-up messages, formality conventions, and common mistakes in written communication with employers
• Where to search: platforms beyond LinkedIn, career fairs, recruitment agencies, and strategies for reaching positions that are never publicly advertised
• A practical checklist to apply immediately.
