What could I do in France ??
As an Englishman with very little grasp of the French language, does anybody know what somebody like me could do for a living in the Southern half of the country?
I work in the UK as a Manager in IT so my skills are very much people based and obviously there's a heavy dependence on communication. No point in pursuing it as an option in France cos nobody will know what I'm talking about!
So if anybody has moved to France and found themselves in a similar situation I would be interested to know what the opportunities are.
Thanks

Some international businesses would employ you. I know that more than ten years ago Dow Chemicals, which has its European headquarters in France had an "English language only at work" policy, and that meant everybody, all the time!

Many thanks. Do you know where I could find such companies ? Is there a good agency that you know of perhaps ?
