Hoping someone can help and give some advice.
I'm a Canadian citizen with a duel British passport and I'm heading to Florence to try my luck as a teacher there.

I'm wondering in which month the language schools usually interview/hire, and if I'm wasting my time going to Florence to find a job as I hear the competition is quite intense.

I've checked out the British Institute and the American Learning Center in Florence in hopes of possibly securing some interviews prior to going but haven't met up with much success to date. I also have interest in Bologna, but have been unsuccessful in locating any language centres that are currently hiring for the upcoming fall semester.

Can anyone offer any advice for this region?
