How to Navigate the French Job Market
Monday April 27, from 12:30pm to 2:00pm (French time)
A practical webinar for international HEC graduates.
France is an exciting career destination — but its job market has its own rules, codes and expectations that few outsiders truly understand. This session gives you everything you need to approach it with confidence.
If you're wondering whether France is realistically accessible without speaking French, this webinar will give you a clear answer.
What we'll cover
In 75 minutes, you'll get a clear, honest picture of how hiring actually works in France — from the hidden job market to the cultural codes that make or break a candidacy:
• How the French job market is structured, and which sectors are truly open to international profiles
• What French employers really expect from MBA candidates — and where most internationals get it wrong
• How to adapt your CV, LinkedIn profile and approach to French standards
• The cultural codes of recruitment and interviews that no one tells you about
• How to build a network in France — even starting from zero
• How to navigate the market as a non-French speaker
• Contracts, visa realities and what you need to know before signing
What you'll walk away with
A concrete action plan to position yourself effectively — and avoid the most common mistakes international candidates make when entering the French market.
This session is for you if…
You're an international MBA considering a career in France, planning to stay after your studies, or simply want to understand what it really takes to land a role here.
