It is terrible for the recruiter who notices it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take advantage of the fact that you are a foreigner and that <strong>you will bring a lot<\/strong> to the French company thanks to your culture and your language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The dress code of French companies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The French generally attach great importance to their dress and appearance. And the professional world is no exception to this unspoken rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to give yourself the best chance of success, when you go to a job interview, you should carefully choose the clothes you wear: <strong>sober<\/strong>, <strong>formal<\/strong>, <strong>elegant<\/strong>, with a touch of fantasy, why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, <strong>everything will depend on the company<\/strong>, but for this first contact, it&rsquo;s better to stay classic and banish jeans and sneakers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if, after this job interview, you get the job of your dreams, in France, you will have time to go back to a more natural outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Punctuality in French companies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clich\u00e9s have a way of getting around, and one of the most persistent ones in the minds of foreigners when they think of the French is that French people have a very <em>flexible <\/em>relationship with schedules, that punctuality is not one of their priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.learn-french-fun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/french-punctuality-for-a-job-interview.jpg\" alt=\"It's very important to be punctual for your French job interview\" class=\"wp-image-767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.learn-french-fun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/french-punctuality-for-a-job-interview.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.learn-french-fun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/french-punctuality-for-a-job-interview-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be the case in their private life (<em>and it really depends on the person<\/em>), but in their professional life, <strong>the French attach great importance to punctuality<\/strong>, to what they call <strong>La politesse des Rois:<\/strong> <em>Apr\u00e8s l\u2019heure, ce n\u2019est plus l\u2019heure\u2026<\/em> (After the hour, it&rsquo;s not the hour anymore&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have plenty of sayings and proverbs in French that emphasize the importance of punctuality! So, on the big day, the day of your job interview in France, you will absolutely have to show up, not on time, but at least <strong>15 minutes early<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Greetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, the first impression is often the one that will stay in the recruiter&rsquo;s head, so you must be prepared for the first exchanges between him (or her) and you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La bise (the kiss), yes, but not the first day!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I know, the French kiss each other. And even the pandemic hasn&rsquo;t managed to put an end to this typically French custom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re employed, you&rsquo;ll probably notice that the kiss has its place in the workplace. We kiss between friends, of course, but we can also do it between (<em>good<\/em>) colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when you meet the recruiter, it is very likely that he or she will greet you with a \u00ab\u00a0Hello? Follow me, please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait for the handshake: some recruiters don&rsquo;t like to shake hands, others prefer to do it at the end of the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tu or vous? Unformal or formal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In France, workplace rules can vary: sometimes colleagues are on first-name terms with each other. Sometimes, we are polite to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on the day of your job interview, the <strong>tu <\/strong>will be taboo&#8230; So, if you&rsquo;re not used to using <strong>vous<\/strong>, it&rsquo;s now or never. It would be a catastrophic <strong>faux-pas<\/strong> to be on first-name terms with the recruiter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you introduce yourself in French interview?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you meet the person who is going to conduct the job interview, you have to introduce yourself and you can add phrases like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Je vous remercie de me recevoir<\/strong> (Thank you for having me)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Je suis heureux\/heureuse de vous rencontrer<\/strong> (I am happy to meet you)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And at the end of the interview you can say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>C\u2019\u00e9tait \/ \u00e7a a \u00e9t\u00e9 un plaisir de vous rencontrer<\/strong> (It was\/is a pleasure to meet you)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 ravi(e) de m\u2019entretenir avec vous<\/strong> (I was pleased to talk to you)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Je vous remercie du temps que vous m\u2019avez accord\u00e9(e)<\/strong> (I thank you for your time)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Merci de m\u2019avoir re\u00e7u(e)<\/strong> (Thank you for having me)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also a good idea to tell your interviewer that he\/she can contact you after the interview if he\/she has any questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Je me tiens \u00e0 votre disposition si vous avez des questions<\/strong> (I am at your disposal if you have any questions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>N\u2019h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 me contacter si vous avez d\u2019autres questions<\/strong> (Don&rsquo;t hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you leave, don&rsquo;t forget to tell him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Au revoir, bonne journ\u00e9e !<\/strong> (Goodbye, have a nice day!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 common questions in a job interview in France and how to answer them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you&rsquo;ve got a job interview in France! Congratulations! You&rsquo;re one step closer to your dream job. But, there are a few questions that they&rsquo;re likely to ask you that might stump you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"04 - Bref. J&#039;ai pass\u00e9 un entretien d&#039;embauche.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7_VQCD863CU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you answer them? Don&rsquo;t worry &#8211; I&rsquo;m here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Quels sont vos points forts ? (What are your strengths?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Toot your own horn a little here. This is your chance to sell yourself and make sure that the interviewer knows all of your positive qualities. But don&rsquo;t go overboard &#8211; you don&rsquo;t want to come across as arrogant. Just list a few of your key strengths and be prepared to back them up with examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Quels sont vos points faibles ? (What are your weaknesses?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a tough one. You don&rsquo;t want to list anything that will make the interviewer think twice about hiring you, but you also don&rsquo;t want to lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing to do is to be honest and talk about a weakness that you&rsquo;re working on improving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could say something like \u00ab\u00a0<em>I tend to get overwhelmed when I have a lot of projects on my plate, but I&rsquo;ve been working on ways to better manage my time and prioritise my tasks.<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Pourquoi voulez-vous travailler pour notre entreprise ? (Why do you want to work for our company?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do your research before the job interview so that you can give a well-informed answer to this question. Talk about what you like about the company and how it aligns with your own values and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could say something like \u00ab\u00a0<em>I was drawn to the company because of its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. I want to work for a company that is making a positive impact on the world, and I feel like this is the right fit for me.<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Pourquoi voulez-vous quitter votre job actuel ? (Why do you want to leave your current job?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be careful how you answer this one<\/strong>. You don&rsquo;t want to badmouth your current employer or make it sound like you&rsquo;re not happy in your current position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, focus on the future and what you&rsquo;re hoping to achieve in your new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could say something like \u00ab\u00a0<em>I&rsquo;m looking for a new challenge and I feel like this job will give me the opportunity to grow and develop my skills.<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Quelle est votre exp\u00e9rience en \u2026 ? (What is your experience in\u2026?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you&rsquo;re familiar with all of the key duties and responsibilities of the job you&rsquo;re applying for so that you can talk about your relevant experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t have any direct experience, that&rsquo;s okay &#8211; just try to speak to related experience or transferable skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you&rsquo;re applying for a job in sales but have no previous sales experience, you could talk about times when you&rsquo;ve successfully negotiated deals or persuaded people to buy things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Pouvez-vous me parler d\u2019un de vos projets professionnels r\u00e9ussis ? (Can you tell me about a successful professional project you&rsquo;ve worked on?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your chance to talk about a time when you&rsquo;ve gone above and beyond in your job and achieved great results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a project that you&rsquo;re proud of and that will show the interviewer what you&rsquo;re capable of. Make sure to go <strong>into detail about your role<\/strong> in the project and what the outcome was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Avez-vous d\u00e9j\u00e0 eu des difficult\u00e9s avec un de vos coll\u00e8gues ? (Have you ever had any difficulties with a colleague?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another tricky question. You don&rsquo;t want to speak badly about anyone, but at the same time, you don&rsquo;t want to make it sound like you&rsquo;ve never had any conflict in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing to do is to choose a minor disagreement that was eventually resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could say something like \u00ab\u00a0<em>There was a time when I disagreed with a colleague about how to handle a customer complaint. We talked it out and eventually came to a resolution that we were both happy with.<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Qu\u2019est-ce qui vous motive dans votre travail ? (What motivates you in your work?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your chance to talk about what drives you and what makes you passionate about your job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk about what gets you excited to come into work every day and why you believe in the company&rsquo;s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could say something like \u00ab\u00a0<em>I&rsquo;m motivated by the opportunity to help people and make a difference in their lives. I know that the work we&rsquo;re doing here is making a positive impact, and that&rsquo;s what keeps me going.<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Avez-vous des questions pour nous ? (Do you have any questions for us?)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your chance to show that you&rsquo;re interested in the job and the company. Prepare a few questions in advance so that you don&rsquo;t end up feeling caught off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some good questions to ask include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the company&rsquo;s values and how do they guide decision-making?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the biggest challenges facing the company right now?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What opportunities are there for professional development?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does a typical day or week look like in this job?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Merci beaucoup pour votre temps, madame\/monsieur. (Thank you very much for your time, ma&rsquo;am\/sir.)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your chance to thank the interviewer for their time and express your interest in the job. Make sure to shake their hand before you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s it, we&rsquo;ve covered it all.
