Finding a job in France during the pandemic

Post new topic

Diksha

Hi everyone,

Looking for a job in France is not something you can take lightly, especially now. If you found a new job in France during the pandemic or if you are currently searching for one, we would like to know how it went.

How did you go about it? Which job board do you recommend? Did you use a headhunter?
In which sector did you find a job?

Did you train in order to find a new position? If so, which training course(s) did you follow and why?

What about your package? How does it compare with your previous jobs and are you satisfied with it?

What are the most important elements to prioritise or negotiate in a package for a job in France in 2021?

Thanks for your contribution!

Diksha,

Sorry, Diksha.  I am retired so have nothing to report ...
However, good luck to all those looking for a job.  I have learnt in the past that one should leave all options open.  Sometimes you get good surprises by taking a job that is not necessarily what you were looking for originally.  You may also discover hidden talents and meet challenges which help you to become more confident.  Go for it!
Have an excellent day.
