Here are infos about jobs for expats when you guys get to France. Of course there are other possibilities, but here are few of them that you can take into account :)



Teach the foreign languages


Teach your mother tongue as foreign language, gives you an additional benefit. English, German and Spanish are the most wanted languages. Being hired by the French Department of Education is not easy; specific French qualifications are often asked and the selection is made by competition. Note that the French nationality can be one of required conditions.
However, there are numerous schools of language which are ready of hiring foreigners. Some people do not even ask for teaching qualifications, but it depends on the institution. To have a diploma will always be welcome. Also, no diploma is required to give private lessons.

To teach is not very lucrative but the wages vary a lot. The cost of a private lesson is situated between 15 and 20 € / hour, but you will have to take into account the setting-up time of the course, your travels and the management of your schedules.
To find proposals, look at bulletin boards in the schools of language and in the universities, or the announcements on our website.

Seasonal employments in farming


We estimate at more than 120 000 the number of foreigners who come every year in France to help in the harvests, as the grape harvests. The grape harvests owed between 4 and 5 weeks in September / October (according to the climate and the region); other harvests of fruit extend of May at the beginning of November. It is easy to obtain a temporary work permit and so to work legally . From one year to the next, many are those who mean working in the same places; that is why he can be difficult to find a seasonal employment of this kind

During summer, the opportunities of hiring in the tourism are huge. To find a work in August, specially in Paris but also in other tourist places, is rather easy because most of the French leave too for holidays. Hotels and catering services are generally most sought after.
According to your experience and your diplomas, you can find an employment of: desk clerks, cashiers, waiters, agent of cleaning etc. Obtain a job in a chain of fast food is very easy because they are often lacking staff. Your knowledge of languages is an advantage compared with French.
In winter, winter sports resorts in the Alps and Pyrenees also offer opportunities

An internship of study is not considered as an employment. The person does not thus require work permit or specific authorization. You keep your student's status. An agreement of internship is signed by the company which welcomes you, your university or school and you. It defines the type of mission, the training and the conditions (working schedules, place, remuneration).
