Chaouki sur la BBC
De nombreux médias ont parlé du Bondy Blog ces derniers jours, en raison de la sortie du livre. Nous n'avons pas fait de liens pour chacun d'entre eux. Vous trouverez des traces sur France Inter, RFI, France 3, Europe 1, Le Parisien, Télérama, 20 Minutes, le Nouvel Observateur et beaucoup d'autres. Mais voilà que Robert Marchenoir, fidèle lecteur du Bondy Blog et grand commentateur, nous signale l'apparition de notre blogger Chaouki sur la BBC, qui donne aussi le lien de notre site. Ainsi va son fabuleux destin, sec et ramassé comme seuls les Anglo-saxons savent le faire:
Take the story of Chaouki Aroua, a 24-year-old business graduate from Bondy, just north of Paris.
"I left university almost two years ago and I'm still looking for a decent sales job," he says.
"I can probably find work flogging tyres or soap, but I haven't studied for four years to do that. I prefer being a cleaner."
In fact, that is just what he is. After cleaning underground stations every day, Chaouki returns to his parents' home - he cannot afford to get his own - and scans the internet for jobs.

Hello
i look like "them" but
I am not from Paris suburban, I lived in the coutry side, in house surrounded by forest, cows and real french familes...I have a PhD in sciences, I speak properly english and spanish. I even had a post doc in UK trough Marie Curie grant....and back in France, my resume is refused 1000 times.
I learn that I should use a network to get a job. They forgot to teach me that...
Skills , education experiences is nothing here..unless you have a good network.
And as a woman, with 36 years old, curly hair and tanned, it seems that it is a problem. i realise now that i have to go..to live
to imigrate but when you re educated they say "Expatriation".
They still tell us that our problem is a lack of education...!!
My resume is on the website of EU commission, is good enough to be an expert to EU level, but not enough for national one...
The equal opportunity employment is not yet in France... they still not ready for it..
I tryed to change my name...in a more french one but my face is terribly charming but too much tanned...naturally tanned!

Bonsoir

I am not from Paris suburban, I lived in the countryside, in house surrounded by forest, cows and real french families...I have a PhD in sciences, I speak properly english and spanish and a bit of german. I even had a postdoc in UK ( Marie Curie grant0....and back in France, my resume is refused 1000 times.

Skills , education experiences are nothing here..unless you have a good network.
And as a woman, with 36 years old, curly hair and tanned, it seems that it is a problem. I realise now that I have to go..to live again, even I want to live here, I like it…
The only solution is to imigrate but when you’re educated they use the more distinguished word "Expatriation".
They still tell us that our problem is a lack of education...!!
My resume is on the databank of EU commission, is good enough to be an expert to EU level, but not enough for national one...
The equal opportunity employment is not yet in France... they still not ready for it..
I tried to change my name...in a more french one but my face is terribly charming but too much tanned...naturally tanned!
As I am charming..it helps, but not for my nice and educated brothers they are not so cute!
