Trovare lavoro in Italia come archeologo è impresa ardua; non si vuole qui affermare che all’estero sia facile ottenere un contratto però, a giudicare dalle offerte di lavoro reperibili sui siti web delle varie compagnie del settore, sembra ci siano più possibilità.

In questo articolo presentiamo alcune offerte di lavoro provenienti dall’Inghilterra e dall’Irlanda. Inutile sottolineare come l’ottima conoscenza dell’inglese sia un prerequisito fondamentale (anche solo per leggere le offerte ;).
