Q: If I move with a dependent family member (consort, partner, child), can I get financial support for the family member's relocation expenses?

Yes, if you move in the Country of destination with one or more family members (consort, partner, child), you can receive an additional financial support that can be provided twice (EUR 660,00), the first and the second month of your new job/traineeship/apprenticeship in the destination Country.

Q: Is it compulsory to speak a foreign language to participate and obtain a job?

The reply to this question is two-fold. On the one hand, you should consider that the CV you enter into the platform must be in English. It is important to write it in a good level of English as the evaluation of your profile will be based on this information. Therefore, if you do not speak English, it is advisable you ask for help. On the other hand, the knowledge of English, or another foreign language, is not compulsory to participate in the project, nor is it always essential to obtain a work abroad. The importance of the language depends on the professional field. For some kind of jobs, an high level in a specific language is requested, while in other cases technical skills are more relevant. However, in our experience, language knowledge is very often a requirement of a job vacancy, and in some countries, such as Germany, it is almost always compulsory. Considering the relevance of language knowledge in professional mobility processes, EURES TMS provides a specific support covering part of the costs of language training courses for pre-selected or selected candidates.

Q: I received a job offer in another EU country, Norway, or Iceland. Can I benefit from EURES TMS financial support?

If you are in touch with an employer located in a Country covered by the EURES TMS project, different from your Country of residence, you can invite him/her to register in the project: if the employer is eligible in the project, he/she will be assigned to and supported by a project Adviser. You can also contact a project partners ( LINK ) or an Italian EURES Adviser (link a https://europa.eu/eures/portal/um/search-for-advisers?lang=en ) who will contact the employer to offer the possibility to use EURES TMS services for their recruitment procedure. To make use of the project's financial benefits, it is necessary to apply before doing an interview or language course or signing the work/training/apprenticeship contract. Be aware that according to the EC implementing guide priority should be given to candidates registered with EURES TMS project before receiving a work placement offer, and where matching and recruitment between job seeker and employer took place through the project. Remember that you must also be registered on the project platform.

Q: How can I know if my CV has been taken into consideration for a job vacancy?

The project Advisers normally analyse the CVs of all the candidates with a profile corresponding to a job vacancy and respecting all the requirements. Make sure that your CV is as complete as possible and up-date it often, to increase your possibilities to be pre-selected for a work-based placement. If your CV is selected, you will receive a message from a project Adviser asking for authorisation to forward it to the employer.

Q: I am not an EU citizen, but I have a legal residence permit. Can I register on EURES TMS?

Yes, if you are: aged at least 18 holder of an EC residence permit (Directive 2003/109). N.B. This directive does not apply to Denmark, Ireland, Norway and Iceland.
