Secure a Job in France (Before the Move) by Reynelle
Hi, I am a new person here on this forum. I've looked at many posts here. I've spent years wanting to expat to Europe. Yet, I'm curious about bloggers who actually had solid employment before they made a move to France. I somehow get the ...
I've written a bit about the subject of chezlouloufrance.blogspot.com. Hope it helps. A gentle warning...jobs are not easy to find if you aren't in a big city!loulou, I can see that jobs are scarce on the ground in France. (The UK, too, has growing ... Read More

I hope it was obvious that I made a typo is writing English instead of French as the language that you need to speak and understand reasonably well here. That was what we call "a Senior Moment". LOLI guess I didn't even notice any typos. I'm just ... Read More

JamesinFrance, Thanks, yet again, for the wonderful information. Raise your hand if you want to work for the UN!! (My hand is raised). I've applied for a few positions with the UN, whose application close dates are a few days away. If I'm lucky, ... Read More

JamesinFrance, I'll have to say that I'm envious of anyone who has had 2 months of vacation in a year. I am lucky if I'm able to squeeze out 4 or 5 consecutive days a year; and, even that is frowned upon by senior management. I try to take some ... Read More

JamesinFrance, Thanks for the link and the other information. I can see that the UN in Geneva has a multitude of employment possibilities. Sounds like you had the best of both worlds--working in Geneva (with a good job)but living in wonderful ... Read More

As well, I saw a UN position for an English Translator (temporary), yet one has to be able to translate French AND Russian! Of course, teaching English remains an option, but as someone has already pointed out, France probably has plenty of English ... Read More

JamesinFrance, Thanks for the much needed advice. Yes, I get the sense that many of those UN jobs have a "preselected" person already in line for the job. I had been looking for positions relative to knowledge/information management as well as ... Read More

Thanks JamesinFrance, The Carte de Sejour--is that the same as a long-term stay tourist Visa? I heard (or read) that sometimes one is not allowed to look for work under these types of Visas. I wonder, too, about showing financial statements to stay ... Read More

Yes, I heard (and read) about the multitude of British persons living and working in France--a steady influx into the nation. I believe it's the same for immigrants funneling into England. In particular, London; and, with that city being so ... Read More

Happywhere, I think it's strange that no suitable French employee must be found before I can be considered for a job. Maybe it's best for the local economy. I have to set up an "in-person" appointment with the French Embassy in Chicago to discuss ... Read More
