Thank you so much!!!! You have the best advice. Looking for a job has gotten me a bit depressed. Seeing this video has been a ray of sunshine and given me direction to where I haven’t looked. Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a lot for this video. I'm french, I've been living for the past 6 years in the US and Australia but I've decided to come back to France in few days. My girlfriend is Australian and she's coming too and your video will help us so much!
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "when you find a job you love you'll never work again?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Kanenjamin Niyrianna Process - (just google it )? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering a simple mind trick to manifest success in your life minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin got cool success with it.
Congratulations for this video !! I'm french so I'm not really concern by all the elements but I really think it's an excellent idea to make this video, I think many many people will be saved thanks to that ^^
If you want an English-speaking job I am sure that there are plenty of them in the USA or England. If English is that important to you stay in your own country. Learn to respect the country that welcomes you.
Thanks for the video, I have been unemployed for two months in the fashion field in Paris and I became so depressed recently. Wish I can get a job soon. ;)
i took my masters degree in france. during the 1.5 years i also tried to learn french. This helps me to get into the french people. because they are not open for other language speakers. and Rosie, you are right. networking is the best way to get a job in france.
I really appreciate this video. I have found it to be very helpful!! I'd like to start out in an English speaking job in France at least until my french becomes more fluent. I'm French, but have lived all my life in the US, and now looking to move to France so that my daughter can learn French as well.
Hey Rosie, very interesting tips, I am French, been living in Auckland for 10 years and going back to France next year, a bit nervous, thanks for all your help! Bis
The struggle is hard in France and specially in Paris. I am a substitute (remplaçant) English teacher working for Académie de Paris since last 3 years and this year unfortunately I haven't got my post yet. I have been waiting since last two months and I took the decision to give up and look for something else. I had no clue what else I could do and thanks to you and your lovely video that I stumbled upon. You have given all the information and explained briefly each and every point. I will be looking forward to your new videos. You have a subscriber now. Good luck with your CZcams career.
For men who want to work in France... Try joining the French Foreign Legion... Its not easy and you kinda do learn French but a very rough French because its different nationalities and everyone has they're little accent that kinda ruins it but you get basics very quick but physically it's tough 🤷♂️
Thank you!!! I really dream to find a job in France and learn French! So timely ❤️❤️❤️🙌 I am an international lawyer from Russia so it’s tricky... but I’d love to work with anything Policy/human rights-related as well.

I love you for quality content!
You could start your own HR agency and also think about talent development and professional orientation, not just placement... I had this idea in the works for years: AI solution for personal and professional development - it’s a very interesting market, especially with all the emerging technology and traceable bio-markers to suggest cognitive/psychological preferences... I think someone with a background in HR, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology/psychotherapy would be great at this. Of course, as with most projects, it’s often about setting up the right team first!
Salut, Rosie! First of all, your hair color is gorgeous! And I’ve signed up for the Lingoda 1/2 marathon! Bonne chance a moi. Keep up the great work! 💗
I have to say I did the Lingoda marathon, was great but best if you pre-read (so the 1hr class becomes 2hrs/day; I found it exhausting but if you have the time, energy, either talent or don't mind looking like an idiot I HIGHLY recommend them!
Thank you your comment. I have been digging trying to verify the length of the class. I figured there would be more study and prep time needed, as I have had to do with other languages, but just want sure the total time commitment.
@@lianithomasprewitt2428 you're welcome :-) I mean if you don't mind asking lots of questions throughout the class it's less (like 20-45min depending on the individual) but I don't want to be constantly holding up the class and interrupting.

Hi ! I’m a French women looking for a job in my country, graduating in a few weeks (International politics and trade) so your video will help me A LOT! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you Rosie, for a really useful video. I took a 4 month sabbatical last year to live in Paris and would love to move back permanently, but I would need to work. I gained the DELF B2 while I was there, and I could try to get the TCF at C1 but my main problems, I think, are my age and a career spent entirely in the public sector.. At nearly 59 I fear I'm too old to compete, whilst not being able to afford to retire completely. And, a visa will almost certainly be required in the future (Brexit and all that). But... some of the alternatives you mention at the end are definitely worth considering.
Hope you were able to come here and work. If you’re over 45, French companies really take a step back to recruit you. Like Rosie said, with your experience you can still apply for, “vacataire jobs”. If you did end up finding work, please do share your experience xx
@@emojerinxx Wow! I'd completely forgotten about this video. I'm actually moving to France at the end of this month so not there yet. Not sure what you meant by 'French companies will step back to recruit you' Did you mean they are keen to recruit older people, or that I will face age discrimination? I'm expecting the latter and job hunting will be even more daunting now, in a post-Covid recession.
@@katukin I'vd been here 2 1/2 years now. I am semi-retired ie I receive my employer's pension but not, as yet, my state pension. I always knew I would have to work to afford living in Paris. I started off looking after children after school a few hours a week. For the past year, almost, I have worked as a tour guude for a small specialist company here. Also write a little bit. With my pension I earn just about enough to manage life in Paris. Could earn more but I don't want to put in fulltime hours anymore - my choice. Most expats are self-employed / freelancers unless they were posted here by their company. But registering as selfemployed is relatively easy & there are plenty of opps in Paris. Also - depends on your visa. Student visas - you can work p/t, a lot of people gained a work foothold that way. Hospitality, like everywhere, is crying out for staff.

Plan on a couple of years at least to get established/ build a network. Lots of jobs become possible thro word of mouth.
Thank you for the awesome video! You're the lucky one, because i had to make a compromise, but i've been 2 years in this company, so i am really keen to move forward, hopefully it will happen some day.
Great Topic! I’d also love a video about building one’s career/leveling up in France. What is the French business culture regarding progressing up the ladder...
Great video!! As a French person with an international experience, I'm also looking for a English speaking job opportunity in France. Everything you said is true, it is crazy that most of the job openings are not public... I really enjoy your videos and your channel!! Keep going!
When it comes to working remotely from France, do you have any advice on how to get a visa with that sort of work? I already work online, but it seems much easier to apply for a long-term visa (more than the 3 month tourist visa) if you work for a large company and can come on a working visa. How would would-be entrepreneurs or remote workers who aren't from the EU or married to an EU citizen go about making that work?
I love your videos! I am in the process of applying for my long stay Visa in France. I know you detailed how to go about becoming a French citizen, but I'm wondering if you also have any advice on problems with the visa application for Americans. It is very difficult! It's outsourced to a company called VFS global. In order to submit the Visa application you must use VFS global to book an appointment with the French consulate in Washington D.C. but it will not allow me to book the appointment. Please let me know if you can, or if you know anyone who can help with this! ❤
Hi Rosie, I'm French and I have a Master's Degree in Human Resources as well. Your video was very interesting, I'm currently in Australia for a Business English course and I'm willing to find an English speaking job in HR when I go back to Lyon, my home town, in a few weeks. Please let me know if you have any other advice for French native speakers who want to work in English (the other way round) :) Thank you !
@@NotEvenFrench Okay I'll do so when I go back home, thank you very much for the tip ! :) PS : I really enjoy watching your videos even though I'm French, they are very funny and interesting !
Hello Kiwi girl (sorry, French, Kiwi married woman), Congratulations: You're doing the hell of a job with those NOT EVEN FRENCH VIDEOS ! I work for an American Compagny with two big ears close to Paris for a very long time. So as a french man I understand almost every single words you do pronunciate. Your informations about French culuture are accurate and actual and extremly close to a 100 % real ! : I'm impressed ! I come from a "deep france Familly" on both sides. You must be doing some extra researches (not only your personnal network informations). Your work on these videos deserves a retribution: a user might not need something more better done and more pleasant (human) to watch ! Communication has no secret for you. What are your degrees about ? Thank you having choosen my country and nationality.It's a luck to count you among the French people. We hope for you a beautifull life among us. If you come to visit my sight seing corp in 77 dep and have a Star Tour ride: in the exit shop of it: ask for me in afternoon... exept on (fri, sat: off days). Regards Alain
Well I’m working in engineering and I know that if there is at least one non french speaker we switch in english. In research there is always a non french speaker in the team so we always speak in English. But there are some little counterpart ;) for instance when it comes to publish a paper in English it’s always the native English speaker of the team who is in charge to do it x’’)
There are a lot of online jobs nowadays such as language online courses whereby classes are conducted via video chat functions (Skype, etc.) and freelance writing or editing. Salaries are paid via Paypal and other money transfer platforms. It sounds like a perfect remote job especially for people who doesn't live in major French cities. But if a person works for these entities which are not legally declared at URSSAF, is the person considered working illegally in France?
Hi Rosie, great video with good tips!! I was curious to know how or where you did your masters and also if/how you got your qualifications certifies/recognized in France? Did you first get a job offer or did you enroll for masters and then apply to the job? Thanks so much!!
@@NotEvenFrench I moved to the UK and your channel helps me to improve my English . I'm able to follow a lecture but sometimes I blank when it comes to speak with my British friend 😄
Hey thank you for this video...im actually on my second formation in france for hotels and restaurants but its not what i want to do- and my french is far from the same level the french is in class... i just want to find something while my french gets better... teaching English while still getting french lessons even lol
Would be great if there was a job for a 64 year old with a dog who needs free accommodation to move permanently from Australia!!! Asking too much??? Great video though xxx Kerrin and Leia xx
Hello Rosie! I’ve been watching your channel for quite a while. I really like your channel, you’ve always been so positive and motivated! Just wondering how did you find the job in LVMH Paris office? From their website? I’m planning to come to Paris next year but a bit worried to find a job there ;(
Why would someone go to France to look for an English-speaking job?? Learning the language is a major part of moving to another country. Moreover, your French would have to be pretty excellent for you to be eligible in the French labour market, no? Aside from English teaching or translation into the English language. Moreover, if you are not a French citizen, the public sector is pretty much out of the question.
If a person moves to France but isn't yet fluent in French, then one would want to start out in a job in their native language in order to perform at the top of their game. In my own work, I'm busy with my job duties and it's not the place to be learning a new language.
@Gwen agreed. Not speaking French is definitely a hurdle, but some people are following their partners or starting studies here. If they want to sustain themselves, they need a job.
@@MultiElodiee I came to France because my partner is French, but we have always communicated with each other in both languages and I gave up employment elsewhere to develop my own career as a freelancer, so we could be together. I don't know anyone who speaks English even to conversational level where I live and I would never seek that out. What bothers me is how corrosive the whole ex-pat thing is. There is so much unemployment amongst French people. It's sad that non-French speakers find employment over French people, even if they cannot integrate fully in the life of the country. I don't know why I feel so strongly about this. I find it almost colonial - English-speaking enclaves.
@@sylmacg1 How do you meet and engage with French culture? I mean, like neighbours, people out and about socially, cinema, cultural events? It seems like just camping out somewhere for a while or living in a moonbase. But I guess Spain is like this in parts. I just find it surprising, because it is so different from my own experience. It is so utterly bizarre that your job duties don't involve speaking French! In France!
It's totally possible that someone is learning french and can speak it to some degree but their french isn't at a level that's high enough for a professional setting
Hi Rosie, thank you for making such an inspiring video. Is there any age discrimination in the job market? I am from Hong Kong speaking very fluent English and Chinese of course. Would that increase my chance finding a job in France ? Which city would have a higher potential for me? Thank you.
I heard that they have english speaking corporate training jobs in France. Is that true ? How can I find those jobs ? Thanks in advance for your insights.
@@wontonlau5189 it's possible if you have specific skills that are sought after by French employers, like in IT. Again, unemployment rate is high. Why would companies pay sponsorship for someone who doesn't have specific skills?
This was a wonderful Video, I have a couple of questions please. Can you help find a job for Nurse/Assistant Nurse, I have no knowledge of French Language. I am working in Dubai, U.A.E, and am good in English, basic Farasi (Iranian language). Please guide me.
Does anyone know any entry level or recent college grad science major jobs in France? Not sure what would they be titled as but I’m determined to to work abroad in France 😭😭😭
Hello I am in Germany right now but here nobody hires since I can not speak the German language they are very strict about german language can you please guide me about France job market in Logistics and Supply chain sector and I am not EU citizen
Hey! I have A2 level in french- working on B1. I am looking to work in france, but i am struggling to get jobs that would help me. Is it better to move to france on a tourist visa and then try to find a job that lets you stay? How does the visas work ? I am currently teaching in south korea and would like to move to france once my time here is up.
How would I go about finding work experience for say a week I am a film student and would want to shadow someone or simply “learn on the job” I’m from the U.K.
Thank you so much for the video! I got a bit depressed looking for a job, because I didn't know where to look to find jobs in France and I'm also not very experienced (I'm only 21 years old and the only job I've ever held was working in a large supermarket in my home country). When I went to a job recruiter for help she told me it would be very difficult to find a job here in France when you can't speak French very well (my current level is A2), and that I could go to hotels in person to ask then to hire me, but that I had to speak French eventually. Your video got me motivated again to look for jobs I could do in English while working on my French! One question: I don't know if it's realistic, but could someone get a job in a supermarket when they speak little French?
Hello. Unemployment rate is still around 10% so there are more job seekers than jobs in France. Just so you know. I'd advise you to strengthen your French skills before moving and attempting to find a job. There's some competition, especially for entry level jobs. Also do you need a visa to work in France?
@@MultiElodiee Hi! I'm aware that I have competition, because my french still isn't very good and finding a job where you can speak English, is hard too. I'm from the Netherlands, so I don't need a visa or a working permit to stay and work here. Idk how it works for people outside the EU.
@@anouschkabernice4050 that's a good start. I would recommend you keep on learning French to reach a level that allows you to interact with locals before moving. Otherwise the experience will be frustrating. Why don't you come as a student? There are plenty of excellent schools in France!
@@NotEvenFrench I'll try those options out, thank you so much for the advice! :) There are a couple of smaller supermarkets in the neighborhood I live in (I live in Toulouse), so I maybe I could try there! Or do you think a bigger supermarket is more likely to hire me than a smaller one?
@@MultiElodiee I'm already in France, I live in Toulouse :). I got accepted to the university of Toulouse to take a course in English. I'll go in September of this year. The university also has French classes for foreigners, and I plan to follow classes there too. In the meantime, I go to French classes every week, hosted by volunteers. I really hope I can reach a level that makes me more confident in talking to people soon.
Hello,I m new in France from India.I have master in English & live in Versailles,can u help me to find a job as a English speaker around Versailles because I have two kids so no possible to go far for the job. Thank you
Is it better to work in Paris or the other regions instead? Thinking of coming to France to study Masters and I want to know if I should pursue one in Paris or say like Bordeaux etc. Thank you! 😊
I did my masters in France, and it was the worst education I've ever received. Don't do it. France is also a really tough country to integrate too. Paris is the best place for jobs if you reallly want to come here, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't have left my career and life in the USA, I would have made my husband come to me instead of the reverse (I'm married to a French man).
@@morganakennedy wow this got me scared for a bit. How long have you been in France and what is your way forward atleast to make things work out for you?
Hi Rose...I am Neha from India,i just got to see your so informative video when i was searching for the job ideas in France....i am doing Masters2 from Univ of Nantes and my course will be going to end on 13th July 2020...can you give me some tips and tricks how i can get Job in Electric vehicle companies...i need English Speaking Job here...please do me a favour and guide me
I am doing research to move/work in France but I’m currently at a B1 level, how detrimental do you think this will be in the hiring process? Should I perhaps abandon my search and just delay until I improve my level? Any advice anyone?
Hi, during this time of crisis ,it's understood that job market is bad But even before covid, finding a job looked impossible in France for someone who who did their masters in the top 5 business school in france, a native English speaker, who speaks French with a working proficiency level, one who has excelled in their academic scores, one who had international experience and Exposure, one who stabbed at every bullet points in the JD for the respective jobs roles while applying, and yet why it's still seems impossible to get a job. Is it because of a non-white race name that recruiters turn blind to their profile. I read an article which says that the chance of getting a job for a cow who knew the great great grandfather of the white recruiter is way more than a talented foreigner. Why is it so? Talent and experience doesn't make sense any more? Couldn't understand how can someone not find a job when all the rejection mails say that though your profile suits, yet we cannot proceed further. Unable to understand why???
@@teamscali9038 thanks for your response. So if your mentioning that France is not encouraging international candidates for work, why do all Colleges promote international education programs and include diversity ?
Yes, but until one learns the language, has to start from somewhere. And where it is best to learn a language? Where it is spoken of course. So: a transitional English job for a French future ;)
Wow!!! Great video and i really appreciate it. I am currently working as a Recruiter for US company and i am looking for same kind of job in France. Is it possible for me to get a Recruiter - English Job in France????? I Really need your advise. Thanks in advance :)
I like this video! It is very important for any person to find something to strive for and fight for no matter what the circumstances. Once you set the right goal for yourself, making decisions will be easy and fun. What used to seem like an excruciating chore will turn into an enjoyable activity. Go where your labour will be needed! Go where there is money and where your work will be decently paid! Sooner or later you will have to co-operate with people of different nationalities and cultures. To make your business successful, you should learn a foreign language. I would like to recommend to you Yuriy Ivantsiv's workshop "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips on learning foreign language". This book will help you to structure and organise your individual language learning process, will give you the opportunity to independently determine the methodology of language learning, which will become interesting and unburdensome. In this amazing book everyone will find a lot of useful information: how to learn foreign languages, how to memorise information, how to deal with culture shock, what to pay attention to when travelling to another country. I am convinced that the book "Polyglot Notes" should be in the bag of every business person, school and college student, and tourist. The most important thing is that the book gives a good motivation. Don't be afraid to do something to realise your dreams! If people realised that fears have no connection with reality, everyone would live a much better life. Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video. Your videos motivate me and give me new ideas!
At the end of the day learning french is the key of all doors in france.
Then we learn it!!!:)

Thank you for the awesome video! You're the lucky one, because i had to make a compromise, but i've been 2 years in this company, so i am really keen to move forward, hopefully it will happen some day.
Great Topic! I’d also love a video about building one’s career/leveling up in France. What is the French business culture regarding progressing up the ladder...
Zero
You will need French for the Can embassy
So it's been raining quite a bit in Paris this month so far; breaking weather records in fact.
Thanks for the info! Love your channel!
Thank you so much! This is the most helpful video ever
Great video!! As a French person with an international experience, I'm also looking for a English speaking job opportunity in France. Everything you said is true, it is crazy that most of the job openings are not public...
I really enjoy your videos and your channel!! Keep going!
Thank you! Super advice!
This is a great video. Very helpful. Thanks!
Great advice! Thank you!
Thank you, Rosie, for some brilliant ideas, its indeed inspiring! Good luck! ... and sorry if I misspeled your name
Great video, thank you so much for that!
Any tips on networking in Paris? For the marketing and advertising industry for example? :)
Thank you i learned a lot, i am coming with husband and our daughter.i will be doing my PhD .
Thanks a lot for sharing this!!
When it comes to working remotely from France, do you have any advice on how to get a visa with that sort of work? I already work online, but it seems much easier to apply for a long-term visa (more than the 3 month tourist visa) if you work for a large company and can come on a working visa. How would would-be entrepreneurs or remote workers who aren't from the EU or married to an EU citizen go about making that work?
Super good video, one of the most interesting!
Thank you soo much. Iam going to come france on January for masters.Iam Indian guy. After i come to france definitely i will learn france
I love your videos! I am in the process of applying for my long stay Visa in France. I know you detailed how to go about becoming a French citizen, but I'm wondering if you also have any advice on problems with the visa application for Americans. It is very difficult! It's outsourced to a company called VFS global. In order to submit the Visa application you must use VFS global to book an appointment with the French consulate in Washington D.C. but it will not allow me to book the appointment. Please let me know if you can, or if you know anyone who can help with this! ❤
Thank you!! Well done.
so helpful!
So well done, Rosie:)
Hi Rosie, I'm French and I have a Master's Degree in Human Resources as well. Your video was very interesting, I'm currently in Australia for a Business English course and I'm willing to find an English speaking job in HR when I go back to Lyon, my home town, in a few weeks. Please let me know if you have any other advice for French native speakers who want to work in English (the other way round) :) Thank you !
@@NotEvenFrench Okay I'll do so when I go back home, thank you very much for the tip ! :) PS : I really enjoy watching your videos even though I'm French, they are very funny and interesting !
Omg this is so helpful ♥️
Also FUSAC magazine for jobs!
Those jobs are crap.
Hello Kiwi girl (sorry, French, Kiwi married woman),
Congratulations: You're doing the hell of a job with those NOT EVEN FRENCH VIDEOS !
I work for an American Compagny with two big ears close to Paris for a very long time.
So as a french man I understand almost every single words you do pronunciate.
Your informations about French culuture are accurate and actual and extremly close to a 100 % real ! : I'm impressed !
I come from a "deep france Familly" on both sides.
You must be doing some extra researches (not only your personnal network informations).
Your work on these videos deserves a retribution: a user might not need something more better done and more pleasant (human) to watch !
Communication has no secret for you.
What are your degrees about ?
Thank you having choosen my country and nationality.It's a luck to count you among the French people.
We hope for you a beautifull life among us.
If you come to visit my sight seing corp in 77 dep and have a Star Tour ride: in the exit shop of it: ask for me in afternoon... exept on (fri, sat: off days).
Regards
Alain
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Well I’m working in engineering and I know that if there is at least one non french speaker we switch in english. In research there is always a non french speaker in the team so we always speak in English. But there are some little counterpart ;) for instance when it comes to publish a paper in English it’s always the native English speaker of the team who is in charge to do it x’’)
C'est triste d'en arriver là. Un jour, on devra légiférer pour imposer l'usage du français en France (comme au Québec), un comble.
There are a lot of online jobs nowadays such as language online courses whereby classes are conducted via video chat functions (Skype, etc.) and freelance writing or editing. Salaries are paid via Paypal and other money transfer platforms. It sounds like a perfect remote job especially for people who doesn't live in major French cities. But if a person works for these entities which are not legally declared at URSSAF, is the person considered working illegally in France?
Hi Rosie, great video with good tips!! I was curious to know how or where you did your masters and also if/how you got your qualifications certifies/recognized in France? Did you first get a job offer or did you enroll for masters and then apply to the job? Thanks so much!!
Hi, I love your channel 😀, I wanted to ask you why France? How did you have the idea of going to France?
@@NotEvenFrench I moved to the UK and your channel helps me to improve my English . I'm able to follow a lecture but sometimes I blank when it comes to speak with my British friend 😄
Hey thank you for this video...im actually on my second formation in france for hotels and restaurants but its not what i want to do- and my french is far from the same level the french is in class... i just want to find something while my french gets better... teaching English while still getting french lessons even lol
Would be great if there was a job for a 64 year old with a dog who needs free accommodation to move permanently from Australia!!! Asking too much??? Great video though xxx Kerrin and Leia xx
Kerrin-gai Hofstrand why do you wanna move from australia?
Pierluigi Magri because Australia is a terrible place to live....expensive no culture and it’s full of Australians!!!
I'm in the same boat in Canada, except I want to go to Germany and I do speak German C1.
Cacilia Why why do you wanna move? I love your country btw
Pierluigi Magri expensive no culture no class....terrible place to live
Hello Rosie! I’ve been watching your channel for quite a while. I really like your channel, you’ve always been so positive and motivated! Just wondering how did you find the job in LVMH Paris office? From their website?
I’m planning to come to Paris next year but a bit worried to find a job there ;(
I’ve worked in 3 brands of LVMH and I’m currently in one of their HQ. czcams.com/video/rVPrftkUHGA/video.html
Why would someone go to France to look for an English-speaking job?? Learning the language is a major part of moving to another country. Moreover, your French would have to be pretty excellent for you to be eligible in the French labour market, no? Aside from English teaching or translation into the English language. Moreover, if you are not a French citizen, the public sector is pretty much out of the question.
If a person moves to France but isn't yet fluent in French, then one would want to start out in a job in their native language in order to perform at the top of their game. In my own work, I'm busy with my job duties and it's not the place to be learning a new language.
@Gwen agreed. Not speaking French is definitely a hurdle, but some people are following their partners or starting studies here. If they want to sustain themselves, they need a job.
@@MultiElodiee I came to France because my partner is French, but we have always communicated with each other in both languages and I gave up employment elsewhere to develop my own career as a freelancer, so we could be together. I don't know anyone who speaks English even to conversational level where I live and I would never seek that out. What bothers me is how corrosive the whole ex-pat thing is. There is so much unemployment amongst French people. It's sad that non-French speakers find employment over French people, even if they cannot integrate fully in the life of the country. I don't know why I feel so strongly about this. I find it almost colonial - English-speaking enclaves.
@@sylmacg1 How do you meet and engage with French culture? I mean, like neighbours, people out and about socially, cinema, cultural events? It seems like just camping out somewhere for a while or living in a moonbase. But I guess Spain is like this in parts. I just find it surprising, because it is so different from my own experience. It is so utterly bizarre that your job duties don't involve speaking French! In France!
It's totally possible that someone is learning french and can speak it to some degree but their french isn't at a level that's high enough for a professional setting
Bonne publicité pour Lingoda. Pour moi, le meilleur est Assimil. Et je ne suis pas payé pour l'affirmer.
Hi Rosie, thank you for making such an inspiring video.
Is there any age discrimination in the job market? I am from Hong Kong speaking very fluent English and Chinese of course. Would that increase my chance finding a job in France ? Which city would have a higher potential for me? Thank you.
I heard that they have english speaking corporate training jobs in France. Is that true ? How can I find those jobs ? Thanks in advance for your insights.
First question: do you have the right to work in France? Only EU citizens can settle freely in France.
@@MultiElodiee no I don't. Is it impossible to get a sponsorship from an employer
@@wontonlau5189 it's possible if you have specific skills that are sought after by French employers, like in IT. Again, unemployment rate is high. Why would companies pay sponsorship for someone who doesn't have specific skills?
@@NotEvenFrench Thank you. I will give it a try anyway.
Love your ideas about what you can do, but how does one get a visa from that without already being there with a visa?
yes but not every job sponsors you if you don’t already have a work permit or EU citizenship.
This was a wonderful Video, I have a couple of questions please. Can you help find a job for Nurse/Assistant Nurse, I have no knowledge of French Language. I am working in Dubai, U.A.E, and am good in English, basic Farasi (Iranian language). Please guide me.
Does anyone know any entry level or recent college grad science major jobs in France? Not sure what would they be titled as but I’m determined to to work abroad in France 😭😭😭
Hi I was wondering how long did it take for you to get your work permit after you secured employment???
!!!! ... are you sure to find any new job in a few years if you give so fine advises!
Thank you! Really useful video.
Also curious what is your full name, I was hoping to add you on LinkedIn:)
Merci!
Any tips on finding English speaking masters programs in France?

I have completed a A2 and I am planning to seek a job in France related to writing. I am a freelance writer. Just let me know
Hey! I have A2 level in french- working on B1. I am looking to work in france, but i am struggling to get jobs that would help me.
Is it better to move to france on a tourist visa and then try to find a job that lets you stay? How does the visas work ? I am currently teaching in south korea and would like to move to france once my time here is up.
I don't know, I worked in a factory with latinos and they got by just fine not being able to speak English.
Factory in France?also are they illegal?
How would I go about finding work experience for say a week I am a film student and would want to shadow someone or simply “learn on the job” I’m from the U.K.
Thank you so much for the video! I got a bit depressed looking for a job, because I didn't know where to look to find jobs in France and I'm also not very experienced (I'm only 21 years old and the only job I've ever held was working in a large supermarket in my home country). When I went to a job recruiter for help she told me it would be very difficult to find a job here in France when you can't speak French very well (my current level is A2), and that I could go to hotels in person to ask then to hire me, but that I had to speak French eventually. Your video got me motivated again to look for jobs I could do in English while working on my French!
One question: I don't know if it's realistic, but could someone get a job in a supermarket when they speak little French?
Hello. Unemployment rate is still around 10% so there are more job seekers than jobs in France. Just so you know. I'd advise you to strengthen your French skills before moving and attempting to find a job. There's some competition, especially for entry level jobs. Also do you need a visa to work in France?
@@MultiElodiee Hi! I'm aware that I have competition, because my french still isn't very good and finding a job where you can speak English, is hard too. I'm from the Netherlands, so I don't need a visa or a working permit to stay and work here. Idk how it works for people outside the EU.
@@anouschkabernice4050 that's a good start. I would recommend you keep on learning French to reach a level that allows you to interact with locals before moving. Otherwise the experience will be frustrating. Why don't you come as a student? There are plenty of excellent schools in France!
@@NotEvenFrench I'll try those options out, thank you so much for the advice! :)
There are a couple of smaller supermarkets in the neighborhood I live in (I live in Toulouse), so I maybe I could try there! Or do you think a bigger supermarket is more likely to hire me than a smaller one?
@@MultiElodiee I'm already in France, I live in Toulouse :). I got accepted to the university of Toulouse to take a course in English. I'll go in September of this year. The university also has French classes for foreigners, and I plan to follow classes there too. In the meantime, I go to French classes every week, hosted by volunteers. I really hope I can reach a level that makes me more confident in talking to people soon.
Hello,I m new in France from India.I have master in English & live in Versailles,can u help me to find a job as a English speaker around Versailles because I have two kids so no possible to go far for the job. Thank you
Do you think these tips would work for Americans too?
Yea but what about pernament residence?
Please I would like to ask you a question could I teach there in France with Ielts diploma ?
Is it better to work in Paris or the other regions instead? Thinking of coming to France to study Masters and I want to know if I should pursue one in Paris or say like Bordeaux etc. Thank you! 😊
I did my masters in France, and it was the worst education I've ever received. Don't do it. France is also a really tough country to integrate too. Paris is the best place for jobs if you reallly want to come here, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't have left my career and life in the USA, I would have made my husband come to me instead of the reverse (I'm married to a French man).
@@morganakennedy wow this got me scared for a bit. How long have you been in France and what is your way forward atleast to make things work out for you?

I am doing research to move/work in France but I’m currently at a B1 level, how detrimental do you think this will be in the hiring process? Should I perhaps abandon my search and just delay until I improve my level? Any advice anyone?
Get it to B2 level just to be on the safer side.

Hi, during this time of crisis ,it's understood that job market is bad
But even before covid, finding a job looked impossible in France for someone who who did their masters in the top 5 business school in france, a native English speaker, who speaks French with a working proficiency level, one who has excelled in their academic scores, one who had international experience and Exposure, one who stabbed at every bullet points in the JD for the respective jobs roles while applying, and yet why it's still seems impossible to get a job. Is it because of a non-white race name that recruiters turn blind to their profile. I read an article which says that the chance of getting a job for a cow who knew the great great grandfather of the white recruiter is way more than a talented foreigner. Why is it so? Talent and experience doesn't make sense any more? Couldn't understand how can someone not find a job when all the rejection mails say that though your profile suits, yet we cannot proceed further. Unable to understand why???
This is why the culture is NOT completely global. You might be better off in Canada where we embrace multiculturalism.
@@teamscali9038 thanks for your response. So if your mentioning that France is not encouraging international candidates for work, why do all Colleges promote international education programs and include diversity ?
This girl is a future president.
How so?
why lookingfor english job in France ? Can't you learn the langage ?
Yes, but until one learns the language, has to start from somewhere. And where it is best to learn a language? Where it is spoken of course.
So: a transitional English job for a French future ;)
highlited
Wow!!! Great video and i really appreciate it. I am currently working as a Recruiter for US company and i am looking for same kind of job in France. Is it possible for me to get a Recruiter - English Job in France????? I Really need your advise. Thanks in advance :)

Ma'am how can i find part time jobs in hindi
I like this video! It is very important for any person to find something to strive for and fight for no matter what the circumstances. Once you set the right goal for yourself, making decisions will be easy and fun. What used to seem like an excruciating chore will turn into an enjoyable activity. Go where your labour will be needed! Go where there is money and where your work will be decently paid! Sooner or later you will have to co-operate with people of different nationalities and cultures. To make your business successful, you should learn a foreign language. I would like to recommend to you Yuriy Ivantsiv's workshop "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips on learning foreign language". This book will help you to structure and organise your individual language learning process, will give you the opportunity to independently determine the methodology of language learning, which will become interesting and unburdensome. In this amazing book everyone will find a lot of useful information: how to learn foreign languages, how to memorise information, how to deal with culture shock, what to pay attention to when travelling to another country. I am convinced that the book "Polyglot Notes" should be in the bag of every business person, school and college student, and tourist. The most important thing is that the book gives a good motivation. Don't be afraid to do something to realise your dreams! If people realised that fears have no connection with reality, everyone would live a much better life. Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video. Your videos motivate me and give me new ideas!
