I have an intermediary level so I have 0 chances.
I applied anyway of course, because they needed fluent English, but nobody got back to me.
I applied for a simple archiving job, which I’ve done before, and funny thing also involved bank files, they rejected me.
Supermarket jobs require fluent French, or don’t even mention the language because it’s a given…
So.. Basically for seven months I’ve been unemployed even though I have a total experience of 11 years on my CV.
I live in a rural area, nothing happens here, the only French classes I found are from a private school that charges 55 euro per hour, and so on… I’m really disappointed because aparently companies love to put this language barrier ALTHOUGH they NEED the so much hated English. I mean it’s 2020, they are in EU, they work with English speaking countries, yet if you are not French you get a kick in the ass.
