Job hunting
Jun. 7th, 2010 02:32 pmSo, I started job hunting again. I already sent a few emails while I was still in Berlin and of course I got no replies. I know this is the norm in Italy, so I decided I'm going to give them a call: I don't care if I come across as a pain in the neck, I'll just say I wanted to be sure they received my email.
Yesterday I also thought I could look for a job in Canton Ticino (the Italian part of Switzerland), because, really, anything to get away from this country. I had taken into account that some job offers would require French, since it's one of the three official Swiss languages; what I wasn't expecting was the required knowledge of Swiss German. I'm ready to learn French if I have to, but Swiss German? I have enough problems with Hochdeutsch, thank you very much.
