Many people believe that marriage is the easiest (or even the only) way to obtain French citizenship. It’s sad that such misconceptions keep spreading.

Of course, if you’re married, you can apply for citizenship through marriage. But ladies, you don’t need a French husband to become French🇫🇷

You can obtain citizenship without marriage if you are professionally integrated into France. That’s the path I took: 👇

✅ Lived in France for five years (or two years if you studied here) – I completed a Master in Management at ESCP Business School
✅ Speak French – In 2019-2020, they didn’t require a test since I studied here, but I was fluent and demonstrated it during my interview
✅ Work and pay taxes – I had a CDI (permanent contract) and had filed three tax returns
✅ Share French values and culture – I added proof of participation in several associations to my application, and I explained the rest during my interview

Obtaining citizenship itself isn’t that difficult, but the journey to get there wasn’t easy.
I struggled to find a job as many of you, faced visa issues (my visa expired, and I had to leave France), had my trial period terminated, and even experienced burnout at my dream job - but in the end, I made it🥳

So, bon courage🫶🇫🇷 to everyone still on this journey!

If you need a help with finding a job in jour our webinar, “How to Find a Job in France 🇫🇷”, co-created with an experienced French HR professional.

We’ve shared everything you need to know to land a job in France 🌍 and build your bright future in the country you love. We know how you feel now, because have experienced the same, but managed to make it and now happy to accompany you on this journey🇫🇷

We are here to bridge this gap. Here are 5 things to do as an international candidate in the French job market 👇

1. Improve your French skills. I mean it - 90% of internationals don’t even get an interview because of their lack of French skills. Even for English speaking roles.
2. Make each application count. Stop sending 1,000+ applications. Think about what you really want and create a job search strategy. Quality over quantity.
3. Work on your CV and cover letter - they should “sell” you and be tailored to the French job market, so recruiters can easily “understand” who you are and wat value you bring.
4. Develop your network; it’s key! If you don’t you miss opportunities.
5. Join our webinar, “How to Find a Job in France 🇫🇷”, co-created with an experienced French HR professional.
