Yue Xiaomei belongs to a very unlucky type.
From September, I searched piecemeal for seven months and devoted myself to searching for two months. About 10 fancy interview, rejected countless times, I submitted countless resumes without any news.

Motivation letter is to show the interviewer that you are unique, whether you are yourself or the reason why you choose this company.
Resume and motivation letter introduce your story to the enterprise in the form of words.
The purpose is to get an interview.
If you submitted your resume for a month, but you didn't even get an interview, then you should reflect on whether there is something wrong with your preparation. ——
Is it a bad resume or motivation letter? Are there not enough keywords? Is the page not clear and concise enough for people to see at a glance?
How to improve the quality of resume and motivation letter?
Every university has a special aid organization, which will help you with your interview and preparation.
You can make an appointment with the company to revise your resume and motivation letter when you first start looking for an internship, and spend an hour asking your teacher your questions, and the teacher will help you revise your resume and motivation letter.
Why are resumes and motivation letters so important?
The first step for large companies to screen resumes is machine operation, which is called keyword screening.
Just tell the machine what keywords are needed for this position. If it is a hot position, there may be several rounds of keyword screening, and some resumes will be eliminated each time.
Therefore, as long as there are enough keywords on your resume, your resume will stand out from tens of thousands of resumes and eventually appear on HR's desk.
In order to get an interview.
There are not many ways to interview in France.
Most of them are one-on-one
The interview duration is about 20-30 minutes according to personal circumstances.
The longer the time, the greater your chances of success.
So prepare all kinds of questions,
This is very important for the interview.

When you start to have an interview, it means that your resume is no longer problematic. Then we may have to consider some practical problems.
As an international student, you need to pay special attention to the emails exchanged with HR, try your best to show your mastery of French and prove that you are qualified for future work.
How to improve interview skills?
Schools generally provide mock interviews for graduates at least twice a year. CEOs of major enterprises or members who specialize in recruitment will be invited for direct interviews.
Although more is to simulate the interview status for everyone and increase the interview experience, in fact, some lucky people may get the offer directly.
In the process of each mock interview, you should know which questions are hot and which are common. When preparing for a formal interview in the future, you should prepare a set of answers to these questions. And you can improvise, which can not only show your agility, but also show your French level.
The French attach great importance to motivation.
Why did you choose this major? Why did you choose my business? What is your career plan?
These are the questions that often appear in the interview.
Even people often ask why they came to France. Why in this city? Why did you come to the city where my company is located? How long do you want to stay in France?
Motivation determines your career planning.
In fact, the connotation is that any enterprise is willing to recruit employees who want to stay here for a long time. Therefore, no matter what your real thoughts are, you should try to tell each other during the interview that your wish is to grow up with the enterprise.
In fact, many companies are looking for interns in many projects because the manpower in France is too expensive. And completely independent of whether it is local or not. Don't be superstitious Only Paris can find an internship. Yue Xiaomei finally found an internship in a small city in southern France.
Be sure to make use of all possibilities. Whatever it takes.
When Yue Xiaomei was most desperate, she took her resume in despair and harassed all the banks near her home. That's how the interview opportunity that finally saved me came!
During the interview, my boss asked me how I found him and if I knew anyone.
I said, huh? I took my resume and searched all the banks near my home.
The big boss looked at me carefully to make sure I wasn't lying, and then smiled and told me, "Then this thing is really amazing." One day, when I came to work, my colleague brought me the letter of that day. I opened it and found a copy of your resume in it. Then I saw that this was exactly what we needed, so I called you. "
Therefore, the goddess of luck actually cares for me.
At that time, I felt that there was no way out. I just want to give my resume to the front desk of the bank with the mentality of trying at least before buying a plane ticket. As it happens, that person is in charge of the front desk of the bank. She also happened to know who the boss in charge of the regional branch was, and she kindly sent me a resume. So I got this interview opportunity and finally got an internship opportunity.
Finally, I wish all the children's shoes looking for internships smooth sailing!
