Good evening
My name is Keidi I live in the south west of  England . I have been 3  times in France within the last 2 months ,I really enjoyed my time in Paris, the atmosphere, the people ,the food you name it.
I really would like to move to France ,am of the ivory coast originally so I do speak French, I have lost it over the years cause I have been living and studying in English speaking countries  but I can express myself and write . I would love to move to paris but  i will need a work visa ,according to the embassy I need to find employment then apply for a work visa before going to France to work.
At present I have a tourist visa expiring in January.i will be in Paris from the 3rd of October to the 31st.
How do I go about looking for jobs?
I have 10 years experience  as a healthcare assistant and have bachelor's and diplomas in sociology and healthcare
I started in May a new role as a customer service advisor with sitel for John Lewis who also have a company in france known as actually *( I think).
Any ideas on how to look for a job whilst on a tourist visa will be great or any other advise would be great . Thank you.

Hi Khadycisse,

Have a look at this article : Finding work in France

For healthcare, you will probably have to produce a certificate of equivalence of your degree/diploma.

I think your best bet would be to get in touch with your actual company and find out whether they can transfer you to their branch in France.

All the best
