You’d say what’s the problem with finding a job for such a smart thinker equipped with languages like me. Quite a big one, my dear girls and guys. First of all, Paris, the cultural capital of Europe, needs no thinkers. Secondly, you must prove any bit of knowledge you have: diplomas, language certificates, language teacher certificates. OR BE A NATURAL BORN native SPEAKER. I guess there are a lot of English native speakers in Paris. This is the most important foreign language in France. There are crowds of Russians as well. Russian is needed too but not to the same extant as English. If you know Modern Greek and want to teach it because you love it more than any other foreign language you know, hellas! No chance! The only choice you have that’s : certificate – or die!
Today is February 13, 2019. I’ve been in active search of a job since January 15, but started to look for a better one since November 2018. I sent hundreds of resume and letters on motivation. Waitress, secretary, seller in the bakeries, private teacher, baby-sitter, librarian, blogs, fb pages, translator.
Nothing works.
