    Have you thought of changing your name? only some people here still hold a grudge against Italians for siding with ze Germans during the war.

    That has to be the most idiotic post I've read.

    Insulting too as I worked for an Italian/German firm last year.

    I see what you mean - well I am from Italy, so I just assumed people would know that being from the EU I can work here indefinitely - do you think I should still specify it? Maybe it's my name...maybe they think I can't speak English properly?

    If you are Italian i would say the main thing is just to make sure they know you are Italian on the CV, not a major point but just one that crossed my mind with some employers may have as a concern

    Good luck

    Bury your head in the sand if you want. What do you think the English film industry consists of, take a wild guess. I am sure the same applies to the Italian film industry.
