Excerpted from the France Career Guide
Job Search Overview
There are several resources that
can help an expatriate secure a position in France. Online resources
include an ever-increasing number of general employment and
industry-specific websites, whereas more traditional forms of
job-hunting such as government employment agencies, temporary
agencies, recruiting agencies and classified advertisements in
newspapers and trade magazines remain good ways to find available
positions; non-French speakers should focus on Anglophone or native
language-specific resources such as international associations.
Personal contacts are an all-important factor in France and
particularly in the employment world.
Online Job Sites

positions at most hierarchical levels. This website lists more than
130,000 job openings and is updated daily. Résumés/CVs can be posted

be an online jobs database - requests for jobs are submitted by
region and type of job, and information on available jobs is sent
through E-mail messages from ANPE.fr.
