To work in a French company is to experience the French culture first person. Working in a French company not only helps by making some extra money, it can also function as a nice addition to your CV. It is just another sign toward your future employers if you can tell them you’ve worked in a French company. A careers service can also provide (international) students with extensive information and advice about employment, training /further study and helping students with job-hunting and making applications in French. Before taking a job, students should think carefully about how much time they will have available. Success on their course must be their priority. Their studies may be intensive and demanding and they should be realistic about the amount of time this will leave for part-time work. Many students find that working part time helps improve their French, but students must be careful not to let work interfere with their studies.
Looking for a job is seldom easy for any student. For the international student, the job search process can be especially confusing. Students may lack an understanding of the French employment regulations, or perhaps they are unaware of the impact their career choice has on their job search. Students may also be unsure about their role as the student job-seeker and the resources used by the French employers to find candidates.
Maybe students will decide that they wish to stay in France and look for a job, to return home or travel to another country to look for a job and work there. Whatever the decision they make is It’s important to prepare well in advance and get as much informed as one can.
