Jobs in Paris?

Question

Does anyone know a company that is employing people in Paris although their French is quite basic?
I am currently finishing my Psychology Degree, but would love to work in Paris for a while to refresh my language skills during doing my Masters Degree.
I would work in Bars, Call Centers, etc.

Answer 1

There is a program for language assistants. You can go there for a year to teach english, it's not only Paris, but all France, but you can ask to go to Paris.

It's 12 hours a week with 1,000 euros per month as a pay. Enough to live, but Paris it's really expensive.

Try looking for information at: www.ciep.fr

Answer 2

Depends where you're from and what your native language is. I'd say language teaching is a good way to make fairly good money without working nights, as long as you know a language people want to learn. Language schools in Paris hire all year round and many don't require teaching qualifications.
Why on earth would you want to do a masters in Paris, btw? The French higher education system is rubbish. Poor material conditions and a worse standard of "teaching".

Answer 3

If you make 30,000 Euro, that 's equal to 44,350.37 USD. However, living in Paris is not cheap. Obviously if you live in Paris and work in Paris, you certainly do not need a car because you can use public transportation. They have one of the world's safest and most efficient public transportation systems. Trains usually arrive on time; buses are well-appointed and clean, and commuter express ("RER") trains service the city's most important stops in record time. Housing would be tough but if you live by yourself, you only need a one bedroom studio. You'll have a chance to travel through Europe not just in France because you have plenty of time to do so. Their requirement is 5 weeks vacation in a year. Hop in a train then you can be in Southern France, Spain, Italy etc... at no time. My family lives in France. Medical is taking care by the government so you don't have to worry about it. You DEFINITELY SHOULD GO. This is a chance of a life time. Don't pass it up. If you work in another country, you're more valuable for the company who hires you. Besides, learning about other culture, you would appreciate the opportunity that other people may never have. Don't think twice, just go. I would. It's hard to save money if you live in another country specially in Europe. Don't think about saving, think about how much you learn, see, experience that's worth much, much more than saving right now.

Answer 4

How about trying for a job at Disneyland Paris. They take on hundreds of staff a year for their restaurants, bars, etc.
And its only 1/2 hour train ride from downtown Paris.

Answer 5

you'll need a working authorization as a student it'll be easy, if you want to improve your french don't try disneyland or pubs cause you won't speak french there, I've done that. Try department stores they always look for english speaking people the good part is that your coworkers will be french

Answer 6

Good luck. It's not easy. I can advise you to find a job in a british irish or american pub or restaurant. I'm french and I live in Paris.

Answer 7

Without a strong command of French, your odds of finding a job are quite low. Good luck to you, though.

Answer 8

be a french maid or a hooker
