Applying
Can I find a job without the local language?

I have no residence permit. Can I apply from abroad?

What are the salaries?
Minimum wage varies by country. In France, for example, the 2026 minimum is €1,823 gross, about €1,443 net. Skilled trades and shift work pay above this. The exact salary is agreed at the interview.

What is the difference between CDI and CDD?
A CDI is an open-ended contract, a CDD is fixed-term. A CDD lasts at most 18 months and ends with a 10 percent precarity bonus. A CDI is the stronger basis for a residence permit application.
How long is the trial period?
On a CDI it is 2 months for workers, 3 months for technicians and 4 months for managers, renewable once. On a CDD it is at most 1 month depending on the length.
Is working through an intérim agency safe?
Yes. Intérim agencies are licensed in France, pay cannot go below SMIC and a 10 percent bonus is paid at the end of each assignment. The agency cannot charge the candidate.
Pay and rights (France example)
How many hours is a working week in France?
The legal week is 35 hours. Anything above counts as overtime, paid at 25 percent extra for the first 8 hours and 50 percent after that. 39-hour contracts are common in restaurants.
What is a meal voucher (ticket restaurant)?
A meal card accepted in supermarkets and restaurants, with more than half paid by the employer. It comes on top of the salary and is tax free.
Does the employer pay for transport?
At least 50 percent of a public transport pass must be paid by the employer by law. In Paris this applies to the Navigo card.
