Q & A

Subject: Looking to move to France.

Question: I'm an American looking to move to France to work permanently. Do you have any suggestions on resources or contacts ? Any names would help ! I'm not having much luck on the web...
I speak French and studied in Paris and have spent quite a bit of time living abroad. I've degrees and professional experience in marketing, graphic design, and project management, but I've also been a bike tour leader in France and am open to any opportunities that would get me started!

Answer: On my web site there are two Q & A's you should have a look at, if you have not already, Working in Paris and Working in France. Also have a look at the following web sites, http://www.anpe.fr/offres/index.html(the French employment agency), http://www.apec.asso.fr(the French employment agency for managers), http://www.monster.fr, and http://www.cadresonline.com/fr/index.htm. You could also try looking on the French part of the Internet, start with Yahoo.fr or on the web sites of any regional newspapers were you might want to live.
I found finding a job in France to be very hard, even with being bilingual it took me four months, from when we arrived in France for me to find a job. That was even with the fact that before we left I sent out my résumé to over a hundred companies and headhunters.
