How to find a job in France - Come trovare un lavoro in Francia

How to find a job:

Finding a job in France is not easy. As in other places, many jobs are given to acquaintances or through the old-boy network. A broad network of acquaintances will therefore help ‘pull a few strings’ and give you a better chance of finding a job.

Although networks of contacts are important, searching for openings in the press, the ANPE (National Employment Agency) or the Internet are the traditional avenues for finding work. Job vacancies are often not published, hence the importance of contacts and networking.

1. Looking for a job locally:

At the ANPE National Employment Agency: All French cities have an ALE (Agence Local pour l’Emploi – Local Employment Agency), a branch of the ANPE (Agence National pour l’Emploi – National Employment Agency), that could help you in your search. Some cities have specialised agencies for managerial staff, called ‘Espaces Cadres’. You may only register as a jobseeker at one of the ANPE offices if you have an address in France. You can consult advertisements on line at www.anpe.fr and sign up to receive details of vacancies matching your profile.

A network specialising in international posts also forms part of the services offered by the ANPE.
The APEC (Association pour l’Emploi des Cadres – Managerial Staff Employment Association), which is a private body, specialises in helping executives find work.
You can also consult these pages if you are interested in vocational training or ongoing training. You could also contact the CIOs (Centres d’Information et d’Orientation – Information and Career Guidance Centres).
The ANPE acts as a recruitment intermediary. Unemployment benefit is paid by ASSEDIC (Association pour l’Emploi dans l’Industrie et le Commerce –Trade and Industry Employment Association).

2. Temporary agencies:

Temporary agencies are very widespread in France and have a good reputation.These agencies play an increasingly important role on the French labour market. They find jobs in nearly every sector and for all the different levels of qualifications. These agencies charge the employer, not the jobseeker, for their services.

3. The European Employment Services - EURES:

EURES counsellors from the Job Agencies can advise you in your search for employment and suggest vacant posts:

4. Press / Adverts:

- National daily papers: ‘Le Monde’, ‘Le Figaro’, regional daily papers: ‘La Voix du Nord’, ‘Ouest-France’, ‘Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace’, ‘L'Est Républicain’, ‘Le Progrès de Lyon’, ‘Le Dauphiné Libéré’ and ‘Le Midi Libre’, etc.

- Weekly magazines: ‘L´Express’, ‘Le Point’, ‘L'Expansion’, ‘Le Nouvel Economiste’ and ‘L'Usine Nouvelle’, etc.
- Specialist periodicals: ‘Le Moniteur’ (Building and Public Works)
- Financial papers: ‘Les Echos’
Local newspapers also publish job advertisements. These papers are free of charge for the most part and can be very useful. ‘Aix Hebdo’ and ‘Bonjour’ in Aix-en-Provence are two examples. For further information, contact your town's Tourist Office.
