Here are some examples of workshop themes that you might like to lead:

About Sohei Graduated from the MBA 11 programme Originally from Japan Working as Business Development & Licensing at MedinCell in Montpellier Daily working language ▶ French, English and Japanese Native language (s) ▶ Japanese Level of French ▶ Advanced Other languages spoken ▶ French and English Other degrees ▶ BSc in Applied Biology Sohei's key advice Without having the degree and experience from Audencia, I wouldn’t be where I am today. How it all started After obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in applied biology, I worked during 4 years for one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in Japan, and then I completed my education with a double MBA programme in the UK and France. Since then, I have worked for 2 pharmaceutical start-up companies as business development & licensing professional in France. Most memorable experience When I received my work permit to stay in France. It took almost one year. Very happy! Pastimes Dancing helps me find a way to express my emotion and balance myself as a person and a professional. Keeping in touch I’m in touch with many of my classmates. A couple of years after graduating, I went to Colombia to visit a few of them. I get together with friends who stayed to work in France too. Myths & realities Realities: If you are not from a member state of the EU, to work in France you need not only the employment contract but also the titre de séjour - status salarié. That means that unless you are naturalised or become a student, you will be always dependent on your employer to stay in France. In my case, this made it difficult to make a long-term plan. My biggest challenge One of the biggest challenges in my life in France was to get the first titre de séjour - status salarié. Advice and top tips The internship was key. I still vividly remember all the paperwork I had to submit – and all the help I had from my co-workers. Get your copy of "Go France" here

Go France! Seek advice from people who have been in your place in the past
We are delighted to bring you “Go France”, the guide for international students looking to work in France!

Starting with HR professionals’ top tips and debunking the myths and realities of the workplace, Go France also showcases the experiences of more than 20 international alumni who have aced the challenge of finding a job in France. This week, discover what Vidhi Khare, IMM 17, has to say. About Vidhi Graduated from the IMM 17 programme Originally from India Working as Head of IT at RATP in Paris Daily working language ▶ English Native language (s) ▶ English Level of French ▶ Elementary Other languages spoken ▶ Hindi Other degrees ▶ Bachelor of Engineering Vidhi's key advice Learn French, make contacts, seek advice from people who have been in your place in the past and learn from other people's mistakes. How it all started My professional path has been very exciting. I worked in India for 6 years before coming to study in France. I got my internship in one of the most reputed companies in France and there has been no looking back since. Myths & realities Realities: There are some pleasant and some hard realities about working in France. A few that I think are important to mention are: Working really hard Apéro with colleagues Work life balance Gender pay gap (sad but true at many workplaces) Getting stuck in traffic and demonstrations Myths: People outside France say that even if you don’t work you can still survive. NO, that is so not true!! If you plan to stay in France, be prepared to work harder than ever. My biggest challenge The main challenges I’ve encountered in France have been my French language skills (I’m still learning) and the amount of paperwork (visa related) for expats. Speaking French I take classes and it has really helped. Amusing story We follow a lot French culture at work I suppose, and greeting each other in the morning is taken quite seriously. I’ve stopped counting how many people I "bise" (kiss) when I arrive in the office, especially if I’ve been away for a few days. Advice and top tips It's important to understand the French culture and be a part of it. You have to let some old habits go and accept what comes your way here.

"Très belle réussite pour cette 1ère… avec l’accueil des anciens étudiants, la présentation de la SAMOA, un pique-nique style Garden-Party qui a permis un réel rapprochement entre les différents réseaux… et une participation dynamique et joyeuse aux animations « ateliers » organisés par les écoles. Le résultat ? Des échanges chaleureux et simples… à renouveler sans aucun doute" - Claire LANOUE (MBA 04). Déjà initié à l'étranger et à Bordeaux, ce regroupement répond à une véritable demande. Une belle occasion de démultiplier les opportunités sociales et professionnelles de la région. D'autres rendez-vous seront proposés et chacune des Ecoles s'engagent à ouvrir certains de ses événements aux réseaux de l'InterAlumni. >> VOIR TOUTES LES PHOTOS *Qu'est-ce que l'InterAlumni Pays de la Loire ?
