As a tourist you discover ornate monuments, centuries of culture, rich cuisine, luscious parks and fantastic shopping opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>As a local, or someone that wishes to make a life in this metropolitan capital, things aren\u2019t always so straightforward. Navigating the French bureaucracy can be tough, especially when part of the work force, so the first step is about understanding it. To understand it, I recommend you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/learn-french-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">learn French<\/a>.<br \/>\nOnce you have done that, come back and read the rest of this article.<\/p>\n<p>No, not really, but having a good level of French is important for the tedious administrative business. Unless you have an agent doing everything for you, it is useful to speak the langage. Don\u2019t be disheartened though, many corporate roles in international companies perform their tasks and projects in English .<\/p>\n<p>There are a few ways expatriates go about landing jobs in Âé¶¹APP, and a lot of this can depend on the visa they hold. Regardless of where you come from though, this article could also serve a French person arriving in Âé¶¹APP.<\/p>\n<p>A French bank account is also very important for administrative purposes and to receive your hard earned pay. You can open one quite easily as long as you have a fixed address in France; either your own, or it could be a partner or family member.<\/p>\n<h3>So to begin, please ask yourself this question : who are you?<\/h3>\n<h5>If you are a student looking for work but not a career\u2026<\/h5>\n<p>Try being an au pair, or an English teacher. This allows you to obtain a contract with set dates. This temporary commitment is perfect for someone wishing to continue their studies simultaneously, or return to them after being abroad. The <strong>Working Holiday Visa<\/strong> allows anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 (sometimes 35) to stay for 1 year doing this type of work.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26695\" style=\"width: 5482px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26695\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/santi-vedri-o5emzfdxedg-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/santi-vedri-o5emzfdxedg-unsplash.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/santi-vedri-o5emzfdxedg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/santi-vedri-o5emzfdxedg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/santi-vedri-o5emzfdxedg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/santi-vedri-o5emzfdxedg-unsplash-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kids, image by Santi Vedri sourced from Unsplash<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Platforms that offer such jobs\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.speaking-agency.com\/?xtm_source=mdr&amp;xtm_medium=adwords_marque&amp;xtm_term=speaking%20agency&amp;xtm_content=brand_EN_CDC&amp;xtm_campaign=SRC%20|%20EN_FR_BRD%20|%20CLI%20|%20Seule&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwhdTqBRDNARIsABsOl988bWPP98we9HlWLJ-GGH5ylhH2IBRU5F0U_Anrx7Ge3ECP25tC3F8aAhi3EALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking Agency<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.o2.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">O2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leboncoin.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Bon Coin<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/paris.craigslist.org\/d\/emploi\/search\/jjj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Craigslist<\/a> : Craigslist and Le Bon Coin offer a range of job advertisements, so be careful to filter through the \u2018mess\u2019.

Make it concise, relevant, and recently updated.

Recruiters are used to receiving hundreds to even thousands of applicants a month, so you want to stand out and be easy to judge at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>The r\u00e9sum\u00e9 should be no longer than a single page for junior positions, or two pages for senior positions. In France it is also common to include a picture of yourself at the top of the page, and make sure that it is professional \u2013 no selfies\u00a0!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sites that give good examples of Cvs to use are :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/etudiant.aujourdhui.fr\/etudiant\/info\/exemple-de-cv.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Âé¶¹APPien Etudiant<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moncvparfait.fr\/lp\/fr\/mprfrzlp01.aspx?ref=11870&amp;utm_medium=sem&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_campaign=Beta%20-%20Merged%20-%20FR\/CAN\/BEL\/SWITZ\/LUX%20-%20Search&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwhdTqBRDNARIsABsOl9_8YykYNHmlY4AMuepRvcHDAFMCM867XdLhuWG84WvHztDOM3NdAzEaAmfkEALw_wcB&amp;isinternalredirect=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mon CV Parfait<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The sites that you should use to apply for positions are the following\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monster.fr\/emploi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monster<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/jobs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.fr\/emplois?l=Âé¶¹APP+(75)&amp;start=80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indeed<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emploi.paris.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Âé¶¹APP Emploi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/paris.expatriatesmagazine.com\/jobs\/#s=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Expatriates Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Depending on your field, you can manually search companies and organisations and look at their careers page on the website.

For all freelance writers, photographers, tour guides and the like, this is generally the best option, allowing you to work with multiple clients and maximise revenue.<\/p>\n<p>There are also applications that propose interim work to those who hold this status.<br \/>\nThe application <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staffme.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">StaffMe<\/a> is an employment platform which tailors your mission offers to your skills.<\/p>\n<p>In order to work, you must first pass a 10 minute interview with a recruiter, but don\u2019t feel too stressed. It is mainly just to explain your strengths so that they can find offers you will more easily complete. Once they approve you it is time to download the app which notifies you of opportunities and the work conditions\u00a0; the task, the location, the duration, and the pay. You have to be quick to accept because they don\u2019t always last for very long.<\/p>\n<p>This is a fantastic way to earn some extra pocket money, particularly during holiday season. You could be at a call centre for 2 months, earning 13\u20ac per hour, or perhaps an anniversary party for a startup company, there to serve drinks just for the evening.<\/p>\n<h3>The work contracts explained<\/h3>\n<h4>CDD<\/h4>\n<p>This stands for <strong>\u00ab Contrat Dur\u00e9e Determin\u00e9e\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>, or in English, &#8220;Contract of Determined Duration&#8221;.<br \/>\nIt is a fixed period of time that you are employed, and it is usually expires once the specific task you were assigned is completed (according to a predetermined date of course).<\/p>\n<h4>CDI<\/h4>\n<p>This stands for <strong>\u00ab Contrat Dur\u00e9e Indetermin\u00e9e \u00bb<\/strong>, or in English, &#8220;Contract of Indetermined Duration&#8221;.<br \/>\nThis is the contract that most people seek, because of all the perks that come with it. Apart from having financial security with a steady job, you can also more easily apply for bank loans, buy property, and also get sponsorship from the employer if you are not a resident of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>If you have already begun your longterm visa process, this contract will help you to stay longer in France, as the government feels assured that you are of benefit to the economy.<\/p>\n<p>It is not compulsory for work contracts to cover all expenses, but as of 2016 they are legally required to provide private health care or <em><strong>\u00ab\u00a0Mutuelle\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/em> so that all medical bills are fully reimbursed to you, alongside the help of the French state, or <strong><em>\u00ab\u00a0assurance maladie\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Some companies may even offer restaurant tickets worth around 10\u20ac each for you to buy food during your breaks over the working week. You can also usually ask for 50\u00a0% of your transport costs to be reimbursed, particularly if you are travelling far distances every day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26818\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26818\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26818\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/restaurant-690975_1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/restaurant-690975_1920.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/restaurant-690975_1920-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/restaurant-690975_1920-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/restaurant-690975_1920-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/restaurant-690975_1920-816x539.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26818\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image sourced from Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>Unemployed in Âé¶¹APP?<\/h4>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t have a job, there are certain safety nets that you can benefit from.
