Hi everybody,
I'm an italian girl and I'll come to Jakarta in august with my husbad (we're in Paris at present).
I know that it's quite difficult for foreigners to find a job in Indonesia, so I try to get some information in advance.
I'm an engineer and I've always worked in the environmental field.
Any suggestion?
Thaks.

Ciao G! Come stai? Would a transfer from your current place be an option?
If not, it's advisable for you to secure one before you come here, as it could be harder once you land.
The last option which you may want to consider is to teach Italian (if you're proficient, passionate and qualified that is) at the local Istituto Italiano. I believe they can always use an extra expert around.

Hi,
don't worry. It's not difficult, it's just very long. Easier if you send resume and skills to different companies now.

At the beginning, I thought indonesian didn't take care about  the resume I sent.
I began to send resume from France in February.

I just have answers now. I am already in Indonesia since March and I was quiet scared of going back to France without work.

Now all my week is dedicated to interviews.

You can register here it's very good for finding work :

ndonesie.enligne-int.com As soon as you arrive here, buy an Indonesian phone card.

It's not like in Europe, you can't meet employers easilly, there is process to meet them.

Good search and never abandon!!
take care.
jeremie.

ciao all! i want to ask about find job also. I'm from Italy, and intends to move to Jakarta and planning to look for work there. Since this is my first time to go to Indonesia, so I don't know how things are going there. Is it possible, if I apply early arrival for tourist visa, while holiday there i also looking for a job for a month, and when i find it, I go to immigration to apply working visa. Is that possible? or how it should be? In Jakarta I only knew my girlfriend of Indonesia. So i need information from you as an expatriate in jakarta. Thank you so much, i'm looking forward for your respon soon.

Ciao Michele,
Per quanto ne so io è l'azienda che ti assume che deve occuparsi dei docum per il permesso di lavoro, ma non conosco bene le modalità.
Spero che altri possano risponderti più dettagliatamente. In bocca al lupo!

For all italians, if you want to make some income then you can join in IIC ! I am a student there and it took me a long time to have the class coz they are short of teachers !! ( could also because they are very strict in teacher selections because my current teacher is fantastic)

Ciao Giorgia, already in Jakarta? I recommend Instituto Italiano da Cultura in Menteng, Kuningan for starter in finding info about Italian people, since I also study Italian there. Don't hesitate if you or your husband want to contact me anytime.

Benvenuti e divertitevi!
