I am now bilingual which is very valuable

A ticket, a hotel room for three nights and 500 euros in Pocket. This is everything that was before Anne Flamingo when she went looking for a job in London. But twenty-eight years old, she was on graduating from ESC Chambery. Two days after her arrival, she manages to get a position for the sale of door to door for Sky TV. An "odd" it takes four months before being recruited as marketing manager in a professional publishing house. "I have been contacted by a recruitment agency to which I had registered me." "This is the advantage of being on the spot: can more easily solicit and boost business", is within.

As Anne Flamant, many young people choose to try their luck at the international, no guarantee of employment. Pending obtaining a stable position, they cycled through the odd jobs to earn a living. "It is a phenomenon that develops, particularly among young graduates, who wish to leave at any price," notes Dominique Girard, President of Teli. This association helps young people leaving, offering some 20,000 internships and jobs of summer at the four corners of the world. Diver, server, seller in "call center", young au pair girl, receptionist... The choice is wide.

"Are we judge merit."

Some are not afraid of experiments. This is the case of David Rousseau: after studying commerce in Nantes, he spent three months in Ireland, as a commercial in a Hertz business call centre, prior to joining her friend in Cape Town, South Africa, where he became successively server, and then appearing in films and commercials. Four months later, it is now by the urge to move. Towards Cuzco, the Peru, which he joined by boat as a help in the kitchen. On the spot, he landed a position of guide for tourists. "My fluency in English, that I had improved Ireland and Cape Town, allowed me to manage groups of tourists without difficulties". What allow it to build relationships in the workplace, and finally hired as manager of operations by a travel agency in Lima. Report: "I organize group trips and I have 25 guides under my responsibility." "I I would have not hoped find a job with this level of France responsibilities", he said.

It is the interest of the approach: while initial training weighs less heavy abroad than in France, low rated degrees holders can expect of success stories. Vincent can attest: with a simple BTS of management assistant, it is now product manager junior agency TMW marketing, based in London. While he was entered as Administrative Secretary, responsible for booking air tickets and hotels... Until his manager, satisfied with his work, grows his application for a marketing position. "In England, were we judge on merit." "If it is good, on change," he says.

Success, however, are far from concern the majority of graduates. Once there, some cycled through the odd jobs for months or even years, without any track of stable employment. And as time passes, it becomes difficult to find a job at his initial training. "Recruiters take fear when they see you coming with endless references odd", note Sonia, which, with its licence of modern letters, seeks a fixed working in Spain. Before leaving, is better therefore to give specific targets.

Define the business or industry wanted, but also the maximum duration of research. This is what makes Capucine. After having obtained his degree of public management, it is a party in New Zealand, and Australia, in the hope of to get a job in a public body. After working in the vineyards as a restaurant waitress and receptionist in a youth hostel, she decided to return to France last August. "I was given me a year to find, I failed." "Stay a long time would have risked", she said. Since then, she looking for work and remains confident. "I am now bilingual, which is very valuable."
