Sunday has come and gone and no new post, nope. The good part is that I didn't break any promises of updating daily ... hahaha.
Today I want to talk about finding a job in France. The society here is very hierarchical, very different from one in the US or Brazil. The last years of high-school are professional or trade schools, where one learns a job or metier.
If you are young wishing to live abroad for a while, it shouldn't be much difficult to infiltrate yourself in hotels or restaurants, experience at home is always welcomed thou. Otherwise you got yourself trapped in this maze of qualifications.
You can apply for any job you want and it will be politely discarded because you are not of the metier, whether is bank, commerce, hotels or cleaning. Best shot is customer service or real state agent, which are relatively open to people with good communication skills and presentation.
The professionalization is a nice hand to young natives that want to start working and do not wish to proceed with a bachelor degree. For many people from Algeria and other former colonies that are entitled to live here is a drawback.
If they got a college degree they might just have to let aside to open a small shop or business. For foreign teenagers they might to wait in line as the non-professional trying a opening.
As in life, pros and cons, we must be able to do the best of it.
