13 Tips for expats looking for English Speaking Administrative Jobs in Lille

With its busy shops, bars and restaurants, Lille makes for a great weekend city break. It is also one of the largest cities in France, with nearly 200 000+ residents. This thriving town has attracted many students from all over Europe to look for internships and English-speaking administrative jobs. However, not everyone who dreams about working and living in Lille will get this opportunity. Here are some tips that will help you improve your chances of finding work in Lille:

If possible, try to arrive in Lille before job hunting begins; this way, you can save money by looking for a room or a flat rather than paying expensive hotel prices. Choose your target language level before you leave home.

It aids greatly if you can speak French at a fluent level, especially since most internships are in French and without some French conversation skills, getting through the internship is very difficult. 

Contact universities where you could obtain accreditation as an English tutor. This will give you access to free classes before leaving for France, which will improve your chances of getting a good job offer when arriving in Lille. 

Find out how the jobs market is doing in Lille before leaving home; there may be more competition than usual because of the current student situation. Asking around for information works excellent here!

It would be best to get a short term contract with an internship to save money while looking for a job in Lille. The best jobs to look for are freelance administrative work and English speaking admin tasks as they will allow you more time to search for a big enough job offer.

Many of the jobs posted online require you to have French level C1, so if your French is not good enough, get serious about preparing yourself before leaving home. It would be best to practice writing your CV or resume, make it easy and quick to read and contact employers that interest you as quickly as possible when applying for a position; test their patience by taking too much time between them.

Lille is full of opportunities regarding internships, but the competition can be pretty hard to obtain one here, so do not give up! Do not limit yourself to what you think is the perfect job offer but keep an open mind. Take any internships until finding the one that will get you started in your dream career path. Ask family and friends for help as well. 

If no luck comes about getting a paid administrative English job, then do not be discouraged; there are many different ways of learning new skills and improving your language level while teaching has been enriching, financially speaking!
