Hello everyone. Though not officially an expat in France, I am currently going backwards and forwards between the UK and Ginoles. I am trying to relocate over there and need a job. I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese and basic French and have office management as well as translation experience. I wonder if anyone has contacts or knows of a local newspaper where jobs are posted? Ideally looking for work in areas of Quillan, Limoux, Carcassonne or anywhere within an hour of Ginoles.. I realise it isn't easy to find work in some of these areas but I am open to suggestions. Je vous remercie infinitement. :)
