I got back in France in late November 2009. Found my current job after a lot of searching, many interviews and getting used to my own country.
So, since early February, I've been a receptionnist/switchboard person in a company that trains receptionnists and has them work for other companies.
I was placed in a big investment and real estate company in Paris' business district, La Defense; they told me my english would be useful there.
So I'm at the floor where all the meetings, internal and external, take place, and I greet visitors, call "visitees", book meeting room reservations, take calls and redirect them to the proper person or prevent them from bugging people, and do a bit of general office work.
I sit behind a desk with my superior, who's in charge of the reception team and has a few more responsibilities than us.
It's a fairly easy job.
I'm also applying to schools for a special education system we have here, which allows students to work in a company for 3 days, and go to class for 2 days. We get paid 70 or 80% of minimum wage, while getting a degree in the same amount of time as regular students. School is paid for by the company.
I got accepted in a school for a 5 year program with a masters in marketing, international business or communication, now the hard part is finding a company. Since my job is from 2 to 8 PM it'll leave me time in the morning for the shit-ton of interviews I'm gonna go to.
I can't wait to start.
