Hello everybody!

I am French,30 y.o, currently living in the UK, and planning to move to Ivory Coast at the end of the year.
And I was wondering if anyone would have tips to give me to find a job in Abidjan.
Do you know any specific websites that I could use?
I have experience in hospitality, administration, sales, I speak English and French.
I would like to try to secure a job before I travel.
All advices/recommendations welcome!

Thanks :-D
Geraldine

Hi Geraldine,

I can't help you about your question but just to give you information; I have been in Abidjan since beginning of May without any status with an entrepreurial project.
I can tell you that the days are very long when you are not in activity and this is a good lesson for me, never be without any occupation if you are not sure you can realize something. The problem for me is the difficulty to penetrate the economic sector here and also the possible partner I had contact with that does not suit me.

Without any occupation and if you are looking directly for a job here, you may have a decrease in motivation and "un nivellement par le bas" with the environment that is against the expectations any Europeans and French people in particular may have (you have an appointment and there is 1 hours delay, secretary and assistant people are not nice at desk, ...) so it may impact your energy.

Feel free to ask me any question directly or in private and it will be a pleasure for me to discuss with you, in French (je suis français aussi!)

Regards,
seb
