France: Jobs to look for when you get to France:

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 Au Pair The "au pair" person has to take care of children of its host family and sometimes to help in household chores. In exchange, the person is accommodated, feeds and receives a small income. The main advantage of this activity: a fast language learning because you will speak French daily and can use your spare time to meet people. The au pair work is not strictly supervised. So, very early, discuss clearly tasks expected from you. Normally, no specific training is required but the parents look for more young people which have already had an experience of nurse. Know that an au pair person cannot be responsible for children of less than 2 years. For questions of visas, People from EU are often favored. The minimal duration of the service is of 2 months and at the most of 3 years. The families which accept " au pair boys " are rare. Current responsibilities and required qualities: · speak enough the language to be able to communicate with the children · have time to go get them at the school · play with the children · prepare and give the meals · tidy up, clean their chambers and playgrounds · keep them some evenings Responsibilities of families: · give no more than 25-35 working hours a week · give 2 days minimum of vacation a week · do not treat the au pair person as a domestic · supply a single room · register the au pair person with the family doctor · include the au pair person in the house insurance The following organizations put in relation au pair girls and families. • IAPA (International Au Pair Association): www.iapa.org • IAPO (International Au Pair Organisation): www.au-pair.org • AFJE (Accueil Familial des Jeunes Etrangers): www.afje-paris.org • AuPair Search: www.aupairsearch.com Tourist sector 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 Internships of studies 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). from www.hello-study-france.com/en Toon

France: Student visa for France, explained:

Here is a little help for you to pick your right visa for France and studies ! Short term visa You can come to France and study for up to three months on this visa, without the need for a separate residence visa. This visa is great for those enrolling on a language course or other short-term program. It is issued free of charge and cannot be renewed. The temporary long term visa This visa allows you to study in France for between three and six months without the need for a residence permit. It is non-renewable. The long term Visa (titre de séjour) This visa is Valid for stays exceeding 3 mont up to 1 year and renewable French legislation allows you to work for a maximum of 964 hours per year with this visa (60 % of the average legal work time in France). You will need an APT (Autorisation Provisoire de Travail) or temporary work authorization in order to practice a paid professional activity. This APT is financed by your future employer. You have to know that if you take the short term visa, you will not be able to turn it into a long term visa without returning to your country. It is the same with the temporary long term visa. You have to build a strong case to access to this Visa. Some countries require you to register first with CampusFrance, the French national agency for higher education and international students, in order to apply for admission and get a student visa through the CEF procedure. You can check CampusFrance to find out if you need to do this. Otherwise, you should apply for a course via the university website, and get your visa at the French embassy/consulate in your home country. Campus France will help you to build your case by doing an interview with you.(here are the questions at the interview : http://etudes-france.com/top-10-des-questions-reponses-lors-de-lentretien-campus-france/) You have to show them that you have enrolled in a French language school for at leat 3 month and/or enrolled at a higher education in France. Basically you have to show them that you intend to stay long time in France for your studies. Once you have seen Campus France, you will have to ask for your Visa at the French embassy next to your place. You will have to show different things as well : - Proof of accommodation - Proof of sufficient funds example, bank statement, guarantor’s letter, or notice of a grant or funding from an official source. - Proof of medical insurance - Proof of airplaine ticket - Fill up an application form - Valid passport On your arrival in France, you must contact the French Office of Immigration and Integration (OFII), send them the official form issued by your consulate, possibly have a medical examination and pay a fee of EUR 58 in the form of a tax stamp (available from tabacs (tobaconists), tax offices and online here). Some universities have an agreement with the OFII, whereby you do this through them rather than the OFII (check with your own school or university). Hope I made it clear enough ?
