Hi Trundles
Hope you are well. I've very briefly had a scan around for Pharm Tech jobs in France but I can't see anything. I thought Google gave the answers to everything!!!!! What about trying a few agencies as a way of finding out the possibility of working in France?? There are tons and tons of agencies out there. Have a look around on the internet.
Best wishes

Hiya

You will find it very hard to work in France. They put up all sorts of obstacles in your way and remember all pharmacies are privately owned and tend to run like family firms everywhere, ie family and friends first. Best chance is to marry a son or daughter. Freedom to work in Europe usually means one way only to continentals.

Sorry Trundles...can't find anything...can I be nosey and ask why France???? If you just want to try working abroad, why not look at other places? A mate of mine went over to America...haven't heard much from her since mind you.....

Hello,

I have my heart set on france! love the wine!, food, people, lifestyle. wouldn't go to america (it is just that bit too far from home) and not really interested in anywhere else!
I work for a large multiple who have branches in france, maybe I will try and find out internally how I would go about it, it won't be for a few years but I just wanted to see if I could use my skills! ;@)

Ok. Via the company is the way to go, as long as you are fluent in French.
