The CDI (Contrat à Durée Indéterminée) is the gold standard for job stability in France, but breaking into the French job market as an international candidate can feel complex and opaque. This session gives you a clear, actionable roadmap to stand out and secure a CDI, whether you're a student, recent graduate, or working professional transitioning into the French market.

🚀 What you’ll learn:

  1. The French CV & Cover Letter: Adapting your profile to local "Cadre" standards, meet recruiter expectations, and position your international experience as a strength, not a barrier.
  2. Targeting the Hidden Job Market: Go beyond job boards. Learn how to leverage networking (réseautage), referrals, and platforms like LinkedIn to unlock opportunities that aren’t publicly advertised.
  3. Mastering French Interview Culture: Understand what recruiters really look for, how to structure your pitch, and how to navigate cultural nuances with confidence.
  4. From Studies or Internship to CDI: Transitioning from a Master’s, internship, or CDD to a sponsored permanent role.

Outcome: A step-by-step strategy to move from "applying" to "hired" in Europe.
