Editor's Guide: Employment & Trends in France Here's a guide to our job section for expats who are looking for work in France, from finding a job to contracts and French management culture.

Employment and trends
Looking for work in France? Expatica France covers everything you need to know about expat employment in your new country of residence, from work permits and European employment and immigration regulations to job applications and local labour law. We even have a checklist to make sure you're on the right track for employment.

Detailed articles such as A guide to job-hunting in France and Finding work in Paris take you through the rules regarding expat employment, including work permits, who does or doesn’t need one, whether partners can work or not, information about a special European employment programme for highly skilled migrants, expatriate work for students, conditions applied to entrepreneurs and working holiday schemes for expats from Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Labour law and contracts
What you need to look out for and expect in working expat contracts is covered in articles titled French labour laws: covering everything from contracts to remuneration and payments, as well as appropriate working time and leave.


Women expats
Women expats are happier at work according to an Expatica survey of over 450 women living abroad, although opportunities for promotion and low wages continue to trouble women expats at work. According to Expatica's European employment survey, female expats based in Spain are the happiest, followed by Belgium and France. Expatica’s Employment & Trends channel covers specific issues faced by women working abroad in articles such as Women at work: Making and taking opportunities and Ladies, it's time to start your business!

Teaching English as a foreign language
Teaching English, which for some working expats is a way of making ends meet when they first arrive abroad, can turn into a full-time occupation. Read articles A passport to expat life and English pensioners in France offer immersion classes at home to be inspired.

European human resources news roundup
Our monthly updates from the Federation of European Employers (FedEE) inform on changes in EU employment law, key judgments from the European Court of Justice and national labour courts, income tax and pension reforms, pay agreements, company-level HR policies and trade union activities.

Job search
