From Italy:
I'm looking for an employment. I studied basically for all my life. I can speak 5 languages and in the multicultural Europe I can't find a job, and not because Europe doesn't need people able to speak foreign languages, but because Europe doesn't want young people. I understood it, 'cause every time that I try to look for a job in Europe, going abroad, sending CVs, talking to people living in another country to get ready for a potential interview, I always find out the same poor story: nobody wants us. I guess they're pretty scared by our capacities....I'm out of a real work since 3 years. During this time I went abroad, doing internships, with no wadge and opportunities for the future. From Europe I'm not receiving any kind of help, also because I'm 'old'.
