When I arrived, I immediately needed some money so I was looking for work opportunities. I realized that it wasn’t easy to find job offers. I soon met some people who offered me small jobs without telling me the details or explaining the working conditions. Even if sometimes they seemed good opportunities to earn money, I was not convinced I could trust them. In some occasions I asked my social worker his opinion and advices and this helped me at knowing how to differentiate between reliable and non-reliable proposals. In fact, I have friends who accepted proposals that resulted to be dangerous since they were exploited by other persons, who took advantage of their situation. Be careful about accepting work or economic proposals coming from people you do not know.

 

Try to understand the working conditions and to assess the risks and benefits in order to avoid situations of crime and exploitation.
