You can apply for a particular job or send in an application on spec. In the
former case, the application procedures are generally detailed in the job offer
or the advertisement. You may need to fax or email a CV with a covering letter
stating your reasons for wanting the job to the contact numbers indicated.
Sometimes your first contact may be by telephone, either directly with the
company or the person responsible for recruitment (employment services, private
agencies, staff recruitment companies etc.).
Your CV should be geared for the position for which you are applying, using
the standard European format or Europass model. It should contain an
authorisation for the processing of personal data pursuant to Legislative Decree
196/2003. It is not advisable to send in your CV without a covering letter that
describes your strengths and the reasons why you believe you are the best
candidate for the job. Unless specifically requested, you do not need to include
a photo or any qualifications, references etc. (either originals or
copies).
If you are sending in a CV on spec., you could opt to send in a CV and
covering letter or fill out the on-line application forms available on the
websites of major companies (chains of supermarkets, hotels, ITC companies
etc.). Look for “Lavora con noi” [work for us], “Offerte di lavoro” [job
opportunities], “Candidature” [applications] etc.
For some local businesses, it may be a good idea to turn up in person and
leave your CV with the human resources or personnel manager.
