Bonjour,
je suis actuellement en Bts HR et je souhaiterais partir travailler en Angleterre ou en Irlande a la fin de contrat d'apprentissage.
Je voudrais savoir si il est préférables d'y aller de sois même ou de passer par une agence ( vous en connaissez peut être une?) ? Sachant que je ne parle presque pas Anglais, c'est d'ailleurs pour cela que je souhaite y aller. Est il difficile de trouver du travaille la bas? Un logement? et est ce Bien rémunérer? Merci de vos réponse

bonjour,
Si ton niveau d'anglais n'est pas top, je te conseille de passer par une agence; chercher un travail sur place peut s'avérer difficile surtout si tu ne maîtrises pas la langue..Il en existe plusieurs.Pour ma part, je ne parlais que très peu l'anglais et je suis parti en Angleterre par le biais de l'agence Jobailleurs qui m'a trouvé un poste de serveur proche de Bristol.J'étais nourri et logé.Mon salaire n'était pas terrible puisque je touchais à peine plus de 6 £ de l'heure mais ça allait vu que je n'avais pas de frais de nourriture et que le loyer de ma chambre n'était pas cher.
Si tu pars par tes propres moyens je te déconseille Londres, les loyers sont trop élevés.
Je ne sais pas comment se porte le marché de l'emploi en Angleterre en ce moment, mais je pense que tu peux trouver quelques offres sur www.gumtree.com.
Bonne chance dans tes recherches.
Salut,
Au UK, le marché de l’emploi se porte très mal et beaucoup de britanniques blâment les étrangers (le veto de Cameron, c’était pour plaire à ses électeurs, de gauche comme de droite). N’utilise pas gumtree pour trouver du boulot (à moins d’avoir une vocation pour travailler dans l’industrie du sexe), tu vas te faire arnaquer. Déjà pour le logement, c’est quelque chose... J’ai récemment perdu une caution de 6 semaines (en passant par une agence, Allen & Harris/Sequence) et je risque de me faire facturer des frais de nettoyage/reparation. En plus ils ont passé plus d’un an à me menacer d’expulsion sous des pretextes divers mensongers, y compris une fausse fuite d’eau (alors que je bossais, mais ils préfèrent les locataires ‘on housing benefits’, parce qu’ils peuvent leur facturer le loyer plus cher).
Dans ma ville actuelle, jusqu’à cette année, il y avait 3 gros employeurs: 2 privés et un public. L'un des employeurs privés a licencié plusieurs centaines de personnes en 2009... avant de fermer le site cette année, en licenciant les 200 personnes qui restaient. L'autre employeur privé a aussi fermé le site cette année (plus de 500 licenciements). L'employeur public n'a pas fermé, mais ils ont eux aussi licencié plusieurs centaines de 'fonctionnaires'. A part les supermarchés et les écoles, il ne reste plus que des boîtes qui emploient maxi 20 personnes: pubs, petits magasins, agences immobilières, plombiers, club de gym... Déjà en 2009, quand l'employeur privé numéro 2 avait ouvert en fanfare, il y avait eu plus de 6500 candidatures pour les 350 jobs offerts (call centre).
Jeudi dernier, au supermarché, j’avais un sachet de soupe polonaise dans mon panier. A la caisse, je me suis fait insulter par un britannique de 25-30 ans, qui m’a prise pour une polonaise! Samedi et dimanche j'ai été victime de 6 agressions verbales racistes: 4 fois par des adolescents, 1 fois par un retraité, et 1 fois par un type d'une cinquantaine d'années (le genre alcolo). Et dimanche, quand j'ai acheté ma carte orange pour la semaine (pas la peine d'acheter pour 1 mois car j'ai eu plusieurs entretiens préalables de licenciement chaque semaine durant le dernier mois et je pense rester dans ma boîte jusqu'à mi janvier au plus tard, quand 2 de mes collègues britanniques rentreront de vacances), le type à la gare a essayé de refuser de me vendre le ticket, parce que 'you have been buying your seasonal cards from several different stations!'. En fait, 2: la gare de la ville où je bosse, et celle de la ville où je loue... A chaque fois que j'essaie de lui acheter un ticket, j'ai un problème... Je l'ai vu traiter des polonais et indiens de la même façon, et il a refusé de vendre un billet de train à un anglais qui n'est pas de la région!
Dans ma boîte, plus de la moitié des employés ont été victimes d’un, voire deux licenciements, au cours des 3-4 dernières années. Il leur a parfois fallu plus d’un an pour retrouver du boulot... par relations! Ils sont tous copains sur Facebook, vont au pub ensemble, et plusieurs d’entre eux ont la cinquantaine et se connaissent depuis plus de 20 ans. Les gens de l’extérieur sont mal vus. A moins de vouloir flirter avec les managers (pincement de fesses à la photocopieuse voire plus si affinités). On a même un manager qui appelle toutes les femmes ‘my dear’ ou ‘darling’ (très lourd). Il est marié et père de 4 enfants. Une de mes collègues (retraitée dans quelques années) m’a sorti: ‘I can’t sell my blooming arse, I’m too old for that, but you can do it!’ Chouette, exactement le genre d’emploi dont j’ai toujours rêvé.
Un de mes collègues est du Dorset. Les autres n’arrêtent pas de faire des réflexions sur son accent, qui n’est ‘not from these parts’. En fait, il a un accent neutre, comme un présentateur de TV. Le pauvre aurait mieux fait de continuer à chercher du boulot, en concentrant ses efforts sur Londres. Il fait plusieurs heures sup non payees par jour, ‘because I prefer this to being shouted at’. Il a un contrat locatif pour 6 mois, mais je crois qu’il a déjà commence à chercher du boulot ailleurs.
Les gens qui ont fait des petits boulots, ou des emplois ‘salissants’, sont méprisés. On a reçu un CV d’un quadra qui a toute l’expérience voulue (il faisait le meme boulot que nous, mais dans une boîte qui a licencié en masse). Il n’a pas retrouvé d’emploi similaire et bosse depuis plus d’un an dans un ‘care home’ (maison de retraite, pour des personnes atteintes de démence senile, Alzheimer, voire en fauteuil roulant ou pire). Tout le monde s’est gaussé de lui: comment a-t-il pu tomber aussi bas? Il n’avait pas de famille pour l’aider à payer ses factures? Etc. Il n’a pas été invite à un entretien. En revanche, ils songent à engager un gosse de riches qui a étudié en France avec Erasmus et a eu 3rd class à sa licence britannique (pas d’une bonne université). Il aime faire la fête et il n’a aucune ambition: les 2 qualités requises pour bosser chez nous!
Depuis un mois, on a sans arrêt des vols dans le frigo. En particulier le lait et le fromage. Une des managers a aussi retrouvé le contenu de son Tupperware (qu’elle avait prepare la veille au soir) dans la poubelle! Une de mes collègues s’est fait voler sa chope, et hier, quelqu’un m’a volé mon écharpe, qui était dans le placard à vêtements (40 coupables potentiels, en réalité, 2 suspects...). Bonjour l’ambiance...
Autre gripe: les anglais sont très voiture. Hier, une de mes collègues a sorti qu’elle ne voyagerait jamais en train, il faudrait la payer pour ça: ‘Trains are for losers’. Dans les années 80-90, j’avais rencontré cette attitude chez des parisiens... envers le metro. Notamment: ‘Je voyage toujours en taxi, jamais je ne prendrais le metro de ma vie: il y a trop de risques de se retrouver assise à côté d’une femme de ménage!’
En Irlande, c’est encore pire... J’étais l’autre jour chez Virgin, et l’un des vendeurs était irlandais. Il y 0 jobs à Belfast d’où il vient, donc il a immigré ici... Il comprenait bien ma situation: du reste, il a une collègue polonaise, qui est ici depuis plusieurs années et s’accroche pour rester employee. De plus en plus de gens comme nous (la trentaine, diplômes universitaires et une dizaine d’années d’expérience) se retrouvent ‘sous-employés’. Et comme les salaires stagnant et que les loyers, la carte de transport, les factures d’énergie, et la nourriture augmentent, nous utilisons de plus en plus nos cartes de credit pour couvrir la difference entre nos revenus et nos dépenses. Je cherche en vain un 2eme boulot (weekend et maintenant soirees) pour arrondir mes fins de mois et commencer à rembourser mes dettes.
De plus en plus de gens font des trajets surrealistes, du style Portsmouth-Bristol (AR tous les jours), voire London-Bath (vu le prix des salaires à Bath, le boulot paye la carte de transport ou le loyer à Londres, le reste des depenses est paye par la carte de credit... en esperant de trouver un emploi mieux paye dans 6 mois – 1 an).
Si tu peux te le permettre, pourquoi ne viens-tu pas ici comme touriste? Tu pourras pratiquer ton anglais, et ça te coûtera à peine plus cher que de venir chercher du boulot. Sinon, le secteur des entreprises de demenagement marche tres bien, ainsi que les hotels.

Merci pour le lien, je ne connaissais pas ce site!
La récession, je vois ça tous les jours au boulot: nos clients vendent leurs investissements, alors même qu'ils réalisent souvent des pertes. Ils ont tout simplement besoin de l'argent. Je connais des quinquas qui ont 'raided' leurs économies retraites pour remplacer la voiture en fin de vie (quand on habite à 30 minutes à pied de la gare ou du supermarché le plus proche et qu'on n'est pas très sportif), voire continuer à payer les factures de tous les jours.
Curieusement, les supermarchés continuent leur politique d'expansion. Je songe de plus en plus à chercher du boulot dans la grande distribution (pas forcément caissière, il y a aussi des gens qui commandent les marchandises et se chargent de les faire acheminer à travers l'UK et l'Europe, voire depuis la Chine). Mon autre piste, c'est les cartes de crédit. A l'origine, j'aurais eu horreur de faire ce genre de boulot, mais leur usage ne s'est pas réduit avec la récession, donc ça fait des emplois. Sinon il y a le tourisme. L'essentiel maintenant, c'est de conserver un salaire. Les plans de carrière ne sont plus la priorité, d'autant plus qu'il va me falloir émigrer ailleurs.
Un secteur qui est en crise, c'est le NHS. J'ai déménagé il y a plusieurs semaines, mais je suis toujours à la recherche d'un cabinet généraliste qui puisse m'accueillir. Celui où je suis passée hier est dans un gros bourg où plusieurs dizaines d'immeubles d'apparts et de maisons 'terraced' ont été construits lors des 5 dernières années (et ça continue). Mais le NHS n'a pas donné l'autorisation de s'installer à un autre cabinet généraliste, et celui existant ne peut pas s'agrandir (les locaux sont déjà trop petits, notamment pour conserver les dossiers des patients). Résultat, ils refusent les nouveaux patients. Et il n'y a pas de cabinet privé dans la région, les gens ne sont pas assez riches!
Cameron, j'espère qu'il va regretter d'avoir utilisé son droit de veto. D'un côté les britanniques eurosceptiques nous répètent toujours que 'it's a small country, there isn't room for immigrants'. De l'autre, il veut se débrouiller tout seul? Ils importent presque tout ce qui se vend dans les magasins.

Hi everyone,
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...

Hi there,
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!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
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!

Hi everyone,
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.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

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.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
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 everyone!
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?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
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! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,

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?
For a family, which area would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

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.

Hi,
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,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

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!^^
