International degree-seeking students obtaining jobs in France
12/21/2012
It is quite difficult for international students who have received a degree in France to manage to transform their student status in an “employee” status (residence title to live and work in France). However, we are happy to share some testimonials from our international students who have succeeded to obtain this “employee” status, through our constant help with French authorities.
As mentions Sunita VIJAYARAJ, from our MIB programme, “The school understands finding a job after the course is not an easy task and having their support in this endeavor is very important, and I just received my work authorization.”
Yan YANG : « As a foreign student in the MSc program (I’m from China), it was my greatest hope to find a job in France to gain professional experience after graduation. However, complicated paperwork and tight visa restrictions did make a big obstacle for my job hunting. Thanks to the greatest help and efforts made by IÉSEG International Services-Partnership Development office, I got the extended visa which allowed me to continue hunting for job and have a legal right to work in France.
Currently I am working as an Assistant Project Manager in Auditoire (event driven communication advising agency which is one of the market leaders in France http://www.auditoire.com/web/) based in Paris for organizing an international project: World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), an annual initiative by Qatar Foundation. WISE is an international, multi-sectoral platform for creative thinking, debate and purposeful action in order to build the future of education through innovation. I am very interested in this job, so proud to be part of this international team, and really appreciate this excellent working opportunity, which opens the first door for my professional career development.”
Sheldon Savio FERNANDES: “During my two years at IÉSEG’s MSc in Management program, coming from India, I developed skills to perform critical business research through collaboration with a top finance faculty at IÉSEG. The Global orientation of the program stands out as it gave me the opportunity to work with students of various nationalities. Fortunately, through the challenges I encountered, one can rely on the International Relations Team, who are not only very approachable but also quick to resolve any issues I had with documentation, visa procedures and other road blocks I faced during my stay in France. Having successfully completed the master program, I now begin my professional career with TATA Consultancy Services in Paris, collaborating with our partners at ITER Organization, an international government project to design and build the world’s largest and most advanced experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor.
