Introduction of French immigrants' workplace culture

Introduction of French immigrants' workplace culture

Being able to communicate with suppliers in their own language will be of great help to you, and your efforts will make you better welcomed by the local community. Many employers will appreciate that you know a little French, and if you are willing to take extra courses to study faster, it will also be beneficial to you.

When applying for a job in a French company, many people will need a handwritten cover letter with your resume. This is a French practice, and it would be better if it were written in French. Writing clearly in your cover letter will greatly help you get an interview and ensure that you enter the second stage of job hunting. The French firmly believe in graphology, and big companies may evaluate your handwriting before the interview to judge your character. This is a common practice all over the country.

When looking for a job in France, making sure you have all the qualifications will also provide you with good service. In France, qualifications are considered extremely important, so it is very important to ensure that you have the right certificates to support your stated achievements. At the interview stage, it is not uncommon for prospective employers to ask questions that are considered inappropriate in Britain. Usually ask questions about having children or getting married.

Jobs in France are better protected than in Britain, which means that employers can't easily fire employees, so they have high requirements from the beginning to ensure that they hire the right people. The workplace in France is much more formal than in Britain. The division of labor among workers is easy to define. There are clear levels, and the boundaries are not blurred. Even among colleagues at the same level, there is little familiarity. However, flirting is so high that some foreign employees may feel uncomfortable, but French women don't seem to notice that it is a recognized part of French workplace culture.

Business meetings in France are usually held in a different way from those in Britain. For example, business meetings in France are usually not an opportunity to brainstorm or express opinions. Once a decision is made, a meeting is held, the purpose of which is more as an information process than a discussion. If anyone wants to ask questions, they should ask them before the meeting. In addition, it is not common to question the boss in France. Many companies in Britain encourage employees with different opinions to come forward. In France, any idea or disagreement is usually held in secret. This is done to show the boss's respect for the employees. Any meeting without senior staff is more open and informal.

French businessmen always pay attention to their appearance. There are few bright colors or large pieces of jewelry. Tailor-made suits are very suitable for offices or business occasions, and men always wear ties. Respect privacy. What French immigrants need to know is that it is correct to knock on the door and wait instead of entering the room or office directly. However, in terms of punctuality, the French are often less formal.

The draft immigration law mainly involves foreigners who are allowed to stay for up to three months but try to extend their stay. Besson said at a news conference that EU citizens are not allowed to move freely, and foreigners who stay for more than three months must issue work permits, student status or sufficient living expenses guarantees.

France's immigration policy has changed recently and become more selective, that is to say, the French government has a biased choice of immigrants needed in France, rather than the previous immigration policy dominated by family reunion or humanitarianism.

The French government is no longer willing to accept poor or unskilled foreign immigrants. Of course, no government officials openly talk about this, but judging from the current immigration policy, it is a fact. For example, if you are a technical talent in construction and medical care, you are likely to get a long-term residence permit in France (a time-limited green card); Another way to obtain a long-term residence permit in France is to invest in France, which is also a common immigration method adopted by the French government. However, the amount of investment will be relatively large. Specifically, if you personally or the company under your name invest more than 6.5438+million euros in projects in France, you can automatically obtain a residence permit valid for 654.38+00 years, which will be automatically extended after expiration, and your family will automatically obtain the same visa with you. If the investment quota does not reach 6,543,800,000 euros, but the investment quota is relatively large, you can still obtain this long-term visa after consulting with local government officials and obtaining the consent of the chairman of the local administrative region.

Of course, there is another way to get a French visa, that is, if you can prove that you have enough savings to live normally in France without working, then you can get a short-term French visa valid for one year after the end of a three-month tourist visa, and renew it automatically every year if you meet the conditions (in principle, you can apply for a long-term residence permit of 10 years after living legally in France for more than 5 years).

In any case, health is the first consideration. Even when you immigrate, the country you choose to immigrate needs to check your physical health, and then you can decide whether you can immigrate to their country quickly and become a permanent resident of this country. It is impossible to pass the application under the condition of poor health, so health is the most important factor in life.

When moving to France, physical examination generally requires the detection of special diseases, and residents who apply for immigration with special diseases such as infectious diseases will not be approved to apply for immigration. Because entering a country with infectious diseases will cause certain life risks to the residents of this country, the country will not accept such people who choose to immigrate under the condition of ensuring health and safety.

At the same time, when the intelligence does not match the physical condition, the immigration bureau will not pass the application of these people. They may not have the financial strength to support their life in Britain, nor can they create certain resources for immigrant countries. Instead of increasing the expenditure of social welfare resources, it is better to solve it directly from the source. Therefore, if you are not intelligent enough at the time of immigration, the immigration declaration will not be approved.

The following materials should be brought during the physical examination:

1, three 2-inch passport photos each.

2. Physical ID card and/or passport

3. Physical examination form.

The physical examination is carried out in the family unit. The principal applicant, his spouse and children must attend the physical examination. Even if some family members do not apply to go to France at present, they should have a physical examination. In a certain period of time, sometimes a family can do it alone at different times and places. Usually, if anyone in a family fails the physical examination, the application of the whole family will be rejected. In some very special cases, it is possible to get a visa if the medical examination does not fully meet the standards.

The whole family should try to find a designated physical examination doctor for physical examination. If it is impossible, for example, if the child is abroad, contact the designated physical examination engineer, inform the child that he is abroad and prepare to arrange a local physical examination for him. Then send the child a physical examination form with the address of the nearest designated doctor (this address can be obtained from the embassy), and be sure to write the name of the principal applicant on one of the forms. After the child arranges the physical examination by himself, he should inform the doctor to send the physical examination results to the doctor who accepts the physical examination of the main applicant.

Physical examination is mainly to conduct a comprehensive routine examination of the applicant. Physical examination forms, laboratory examinations and chest X-rays should be sent to medical personnel designated by France to confirm the results. Adults need to take x-rays, but children don't necessarily need them. Some hospitals in China set the age of X-ray for children at 1 1, and some hospitals set it at 5 years old. Generally speaking, immigration officials will refuse to issue visas to those who have physical and mental defects that affect their normal life and work, or who are infected with infectious diseases.

The medical report shows whether the applicant's family needs hospitalization and other medical care after arriving in France, or whether their work and labor ability will be affected, thus bringing a burden to the French government. No one with physical or mental illness can enter France. Physical examination includes routine physical examination of the whole family, chest X-ray examination of people over 1 11,blood examination (VDRL) of people over 15, and so on.
