Being back in Strasbourg should have been a relief from all the "must see, must go, must buy, must must" stressfulness back home. Should have.
So here I am, looking desperately for a job to get money to be able to pay the home I don't have... I've distributed 15 CVs since I came back. That makes 19 in total and only one answer. Negative, of course, what did you expect!?
I personally don't expect a lot because there will always be someone with more working experience and - what's most important - FRENCH to take the place I need so much. No, I'm not being pessimist, but let me explain the local discriminating bureaucracy:
a) being a citizen of one of the new EU countries I must have an authorization to work in France
b) to get that authorization I need my student's card, social security and an address
c) to get my social security I need my student's card that I won't get before the registration sometime in September
d) to have an address I need money to pay the first month and the guarantee (which is at least as much as one month's payment); in some cases I must show my pay checks of at least last three months.
e) to get all that money I need a job to be sure I'll be able to pay all that and not die of hunger and buy my toothpaste.
f) to get a job... [read: point a)]
The story of my life.
