When I started talking French my freshman year of high school, this idea of moving away to France and living there was nothing more than a faraway fantasy. However, now that I am just a few months away from graduating from college, that fantasy is becoming a prominent reality.
Because I will be graduating from college with a double major in finance and French (and I actually have quite a good GPA), I have been approached by several different companies in France who have offered me jobs. The salaries of these jobs have all been quite good, and there was one company in particular that I really liked. So, after multiple discussions with them, they have agreed to pay for my expenses for a three week long “trial work experience” in France.
Basically, after I graduate, they are going to fly me to France, put me in a short term apartment and give me a rental car. Then, for the next three weeks, I will begin doing exactly what I would do if I worked there. After the three weeks, I will return to the United States, and will then have a week to accept or decline the job.
I realize that this is an extremely unique opportunity, and I’m looking forward to making the most of it!
