Hi, I'm moving over to Chamonix at the end of October as my husband has a new job. I've been working in TV and video production/ editing (and graphics) for the past 8 years but am open to all kinds of administration, reception, office assisting jobs, copy-writing jobs. His new job took us a bit by surprise so my French is needing a lot of brushing up. I'm planning on keeping up lessons once we move over but for the moment I can't apply for anything that requires me to be fluent in French. I wondered if anyone knew where best to seek out job opportunities in the Haute-Savoie region that only require English?

Thanks!!

Hi LauraBowles86

Welcome to Expat.com

Have a look on The Local which is the English News Website in France, they have a job section on it.

You should find in hotels, restaurants, tourism offices, Ski Schools (for foreign customers) ... If you speak a little bit French, it's enough I think (with your background, you could also work for their communication).
