Bedeutung
To meet for a professional purpose.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'colloquio con i professori' is a mandatory part of the school year where parents wait in long lines to speak with teachers. It's a social event as much as an academic one. In Italian job interviews, it is common to be asked personal questions about your family or hobbies to gauge your 'soft skills' and personality fit, reflecting a culture that values interpersonal relationships. The term 'sala colloqui' is the official name for visiting rooms in Italian prisons, where inmates meet their families or lawyers. High-level meetings between the Pope and heads of state are often described as 'colloqui privati', emphasizing the solemnity and confidentiality of the talk.
Use 'Sostenere' for your CV
When writing your resume, don't write 'Ho avuto molti colloqui'. Write 'Ho sostenuto colloqui di selezione presso...' to sound much more professional.
The 'Intervista' Trap
If you say 'Ho un'intervista', Italians will look for a microphone. Stick to 'colloquio' for anything career-related.
