There are jobs in France - you need to learn how to find them
1. Even in a developed democratic country like France, when applying for a job, what matters most is not who you are – engineer, programmer, teacher, or credit broker – and what your qualifications are, but who gave you recommendations. Nepotism (cronyism) is especially prevalent in rural areas. Advice: socialize with people, make acquaintances, and do not hesitate to ask your new friends if they know of any vacancies in your professional field.
2. French employers trust various diplomas, written professional certifications, and certificates of completion of various courses much more than interview results. The more paper evidence of your professional qualifications you have, the higher your chances of getting the desired position. Advice: take with you to the interview everything you can – from a diploma of completion of Spanish language courses to a certificate showing you were a trader on the forex market, for example. Approach the preparation and formatting of your resume with utmost responsibility and do not forget to write a cover letter – naturally, in French.
3. You will be perceived as a true professional if you learn to do your job not as you are used to in your home country, but as is customary in France. Advice: even if you are confident that you can handle the work better than they do here – do not take initiative and work the same way as your French colleagues. Otherwise, you may be considered incompetent.
If you have poor language skills and your professional qualifications are no higher than those of French applicants, you have little chance of getting the job. There are only two options: take intensive language courses or look for a job where you will not have to talk much.
