There’s a particular kind of nervous energy that comes with a job interview: rehearsing answers in your head, choosing what to wear, wondering if you’ll be asked something you haven’t prepared for.
It’s one of those experiences that feels universal, whatever language you do it in.
Il Colloquio di Lavoro brings together some of the Italian vocabulary that comes up throughout this process: from putting together a curriculum vitae to the handshake at the end, and everything discussed in between.
You’ll find the crossword below, with clues in Italian or English, whichever way you fancy playing. And if you get stuck, or simply want to revisit the vocabulary afterwards, you can reveal each answer together with its English meaning further down the page.
Buon divertimento! 😊
Only peek if you get stuck!

What this puzzle reminded me of 🖊️
This crossword brought back memories of my very first job interviews in London, back when I was twenty and still finding my feet with a new language and a new country. If you'd like the full story, including the interview that went wrong over a keyboard, I've written it up here: My Italian Accent Was a Problem.
