info_outlineThis interview is an absolute MUST for anyone thinking of applying for a job in France. It's also just a really interesting interview with the fantastic Edwige.
Edwige gives her 3 top tips for anyone applying for a job, or thinking of starting their search for a role in France. She shares her thoughts on CVs and the dreaded cover letter too!
Here is a little bit more information directly from Edwige herself:
I have been a French teacher since 2018. I have lived in different countries (Russia and Hungary) so I can understand how is it to be an expat : the best and the worst sides!
That is why I chose to help my students to be more confident and feel more integrated in France. I am not helping you to be perfect in French (or not yet!), but the most important thing for me is to give you the chance to be you and to be confident in your skills and your life here.
I created the training « APPLY THE FRENCH WAY » in order to help foreigners in their job search but also to improve their skills in French and their understanding about the rules and rights as an employee in France. You will learn using videos subtitled in French, vocabulary sheets, and quizzes, but you will also get advice from me about your CV and cover letter for 3 months and have access to a community online.
