If you want to stay in Rome for a longer time, earning your living through a temporary or part-time job, arm yourself with patience. There are many possibilities, but you have to be proactive and ready to do any kind of job. You can surf the net or get in touch with employment agencies or look for job ops ads in magazines. It’s not hard to find a part-time job as a hostess/steward, in leafleting or catering, but foreigners have to be able to speak at least a bit of Italian.
