đŹ A word from the current intern
This 6-month internship is well suited to British university students in their 3rd year undertaking a âYear Abroadâ or to Masters students (with a mandatory âconvention de stageâ). The language spoken in the office is French and so a good level of comprehension is required to do the job well. This provides a great opportunity to improve your spoken French, especially with the social environment at lunch and the companyâs monthly soirĂŠes.
The role is very varied and you will adapt to learning as you go. You will gain excellent experience working in a professional world while still being part of a friendly and sociable team. If youâre keen to challenge yourself, improve your language skills, and make a difference to a growing tech company, then you would fit in well at LoungeUp!
â ď¸ IMPORTANT â ď¸
Given the current climate, we have to be as efficient as possible as the candidate must obtain their VISA and be settled in Paris before the start of their placement. Brexit means that a visa is now required for British nationals who wish to enter and work in France for a period of 6 months to work. Obtaining a VISA requires specific documentation including an internship agreement signed by the DREETS in France whose processing time can be up to 1-2 months. It is very important to be able to organise all relevant documentation in good time so that you can start working in Paris on the agreed date. You will have an âoverlap weekâ with the current intern who will help you with the onboarding process and be able to answer any questions you have in your first week.
