yet another building full of french civil servants
So this is the place where I’ve managed to find ‘a job’. I’m not sure what one is yet but apparently it involves some kind of arrangement whereby you turn up every day, drink tea and use the internet, and at the end of the month they stick a few hundred euros in your bank-account! I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing here and I’m not sure anyone else does either – am I the tea-lady, am I the Managing Director?? Who knows?! (answers on a postcard, please…)
One thing’s for sure – it has lovely central heating, which is as good a reason as any to turn up in the morning!

Well done scarlet, I hope it goes well. I’m really impressed that you can get into the job market in France; my French is nowhere near good enough for that yet.
Do let us know how it goes and whether you’re the CEO!
All the best,
Deborah

There’s certainly not much of a job ‘market’ here in rural Normandy, infact I think I may have taken the last one! Luckily my French is up to scratch, otherwise I wouldn’t have a hope – and I think my previous experience in the french civil-service was probably a plus point on my CV.

Have you found out what the job is yet? I did toy with the idea of applying for a job in Mr Bricolage, but the reduction in the number of Brits buying fixer-uppers has dwindled to the point where my duel language skills were no longer in quite such demand…
