Bonjour, comme beaucoup de gens sur ce forum, je compte bientôt partir en Angleterre, Londres plus exactement prochainement ( a la fin du mois normalement), dans le but d'améliorer mon anglais, en me trouvant un travail la-bas. La je me suis mis a la rédaction de mon CV anglais et j'aurais une question. Ayant un faible niveau d'anglais je ne me fais aucune illusion, je sais que je ne trouverais pas dans mon domaine qui est le BTP a bac+2, c'est pourquoi je chercherais plutot dans tout ce qui est restauration, hotellerie...ect, enfin tout ce qui ne demande pas forcement un niveau d'anglais elevé. Mais dans ce cas, que faire figurer dans mon CV n'ayant pas vraiment d'experience dans ces domaines la? Merci d'avance
En faite quand je lis ton post je lis plein de contradictions et de trucs qui me font marrer merci
Tu veux partir trouver un travail en UK pour ameliorer ton anglais... oui il y a des ecoles pour sa tu sais? Trouver un travail dans un pays etranger (je ne parle pas d'un contrat expatrier donc) surtout aupres d'entreprise local necessite dans la plupart des pays la maitrise minimum de la langue....
Ensuite dire que le travail dans l'hotellerie et dans la restauration ne demnde pas une maitrise de la langue, c'est une des plus grosses betises que j'ai lu aujourd'hui et sa m'a fait bien rire, sa prouve que tu ne connais pas du tout ces metiers donc sa ne sert trop a rien de tenter dans se domaine tu vois...
Tu as un Bac+2 dans le BTP et bien prend quelques cours de langue trouve toi ensuite un taf dans ton domaine qui a mon avis ne demande pas plus de maitrise de la langue anglaise que l'hotellerie et la restauration voir meme moins...
😉
Sinon on ecrit pas un CV(resume) en anglais comme on le fait en francais la c'est sur tu n'aura aucune reponse... donc google tu tape resume anglais et tu trouvera plein de choses....
You know what? BEND OVER
Les gens te demandent comment faire pour s'expatrier et si leur projet est viable, tu repond honnetement et tu te fais insulter...
Mets en avant que tu as le sens du travail en equipe... comme dans un CV francais, tu as fait telle et telle chose ok, mais qu'est ce qu'elles t'ont appris en plus du travail, organisation...
Bonne chance

C'est bien si mon message t'a fait marrer, j'en suis fort content! Répondre a quelqu'un qui demande de l'aide aussi désagréablement, faut vraiment avoir une vie plate et sans interet pour agresser les gens comme ca gratuitement.
Enfin bref, non justement je ne connais pas bien ces métiers, et puis je ne parlais pas forcement de faire des trucs qui demande d'avoir une bonne maitrise de la langue, je le sais très bien, mais genre faire la plonge ou le ménage, je pense pas qu'il faut être bilingue pour pouvoir le faire, et je n'invinte pas ca, je tiens ca d'autre site de toute facon.
Tu es peut etre dans ces domaines là, et tu as peut etre pris mal quand j'ai dit qu'il ne faut pas forcement avoir un bon niveau d'anglais la dedans, mais la n'etait pas mon but, tous les métiers ce valent.
De plus l'hôtellerie et la restauration n'était que des exemples... ;).
Pour exercer dans mon domaine il faut connaitre pleins de vocabulaires techniques que je ne connais pas en anglais, et c'est pour cela que je ne pourrais pas travailler la dedans. Et je sais très bien que je n'apprendrais certainement pas ce vocabulaire la pendant mon sejour, mais mon but etant surtout de mieux m'exprimer.
Ensuite tu me parles de prendre des cours de langue, mais pour en prendre il faut avoir les moyens, je ne sais pas quel est ton métier ou tes revenus, mais moi personnellement je n'ai pas les ressources pécuniaires pour pouvoir me permettre cela.
Enfin bon heuresement qu'il y a des gens assez aimable et intelligent pour comprendre ce que je demandais, merci pour ta réponse brève mais très utile Cocline =).
Je repond juste a ton mesage avec la meme "ignorance" et un ton sarcastique, desole que tu l'ai mal pris.
Pour ma vie ne t'inquiete pas pour moi 😛( reaction shaeppienne de ta pars...), donc comme je te le disais travailler demande un minimum d'anglais, apres tu me cite des emploi comme valet de chambre ou encore plongeur vrai pour l'un faux pour l'autre.
Faire le menage dans les chambres demande une formation ( du moins dans les grands hotels).... mais c'est vrai tu peux toujours trouver, maintenant est ce qu'avec ce salaire tu pourra vivre convenablement et t'adapter au rythme de vie du pays...
Permet moi d'emettre quelques doutes la dessus.
Donc e faite si je peux me permettre un conseil et bien
- Met un peu d'argent de cote avant de te precipite la bas, trouve une institution qui donne des cours gratuits (cherche notament aupres des institutions qui forme les professeur d'anglais qui souvent pour s'entrainer paie les eleves pour assister aux cours , sisi c'est magique, ce faire payer pour aller a des cours qui sont en plus de qualites), prend des cours comme sa dans diferentes institutions ( basic, business classes) et en meme temp inscrit toi a quelques agences de recrutement car tu a l'air d'etre assez specialiser dans se que tu fais donc tu pourra trouver un travail dans ton domaine.
Sa c'etait pour mon conseil
Maintenant comme tu a l'air d'etre quelqu'un qui a envie que les gens lui disent se qu'il veut entendre voila l'autre version du conseil.
Trouve toi un emploi comme technicien de surface dans un hotel ou a la plonge tu verra c'est trop bien payer et c'est genial, ppppppfffffff les cours d'anglais sa sert a rien c'est bien connu en plus c'est trop cher et sa t deservira plutot qu'autre chose, a oui pour avoir un emploi ment sur ton CV genre dit que tu a travailler pour des hotels et restaurants parisiens sa passe a tout les coup, pour l'anglais ne t'inquiete pas tu l'aprendra pendant que tu feras la plonge tout seul dans ton coin en cuisine (OSE ooeration du saint esprit)
Voila
Cheers

Bah je demande de l'aide a propos d'un sujet, je trouve ca normal d'attendre une réponse qui me convienne, ou du moins a propos du sujet, non?
Enfin bref, merci pour ta réponse (meme si la 2eme partie est très sarcastique ^^), qui est quand meme franchement plus interessante que la 1ere, je vais suivre ton conseil et me renseigner la dessus. Je ne savais pas qu'on pouvait trouver des cours gratuit, c'est vrai que ca m'arangerait.
Sinon plongeur n'etait qu'un n'exemple, je comptais chercher dans tout ce que je trouverai, mais facon oui je ne me fais pas d'illusion au niveau du salaire que j'aurai, pour un 1er job je ne serais pas difficile. Et puis bon j'ai aussi de l'argent de coté pour m'aider a vivre au début de toute facon, je ne part pas non plus à l'arrache =).
Après qui c'est je trouverais peut etre dans mon domaine, le truc c'est que mon niveau d'anglais n'est pas non plus a chier, je comprends ce qu'on me dit et peut tenir a peu près une conversation, mais bon diriger des equipes demandent de savoir très bien s'exprimer dans la langue, et ce n'est pas mon cas.
Enfin bref je vais me renseigner sur tout ça, merci ;)
Je n'ai jamais demande de conseils, j'ecris avec un clavier japonais pour la justification de fautes d'orthographes....
une partie de ma signature s'adress aux gens comme toi qui parle sans savoir et l'utre au gens comme lui qui demnde l'avis et conseil de personne mais qui au final
n'accepte pas la critique et finira par n'ecouter que lui meme
Allez bye

My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency?
- When did you start preparing for the USMLE?
- What advice would you give to someone still in medical school?
- Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids?
- Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency?
- What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
