**Anglais est mon langue maternelle donc J'essaie d'ecriver le poste sans utiliser Google Translate. Il y aura des fautes mdr. j'utiliserai <> pour le texte que je sais pas en francais."
Aujourd'hui, je travaille dans le secteur fabrication pour les Automobile and les autres. Au début, aprés l'université, j'étais un ingénieur qui dessin les luminaires et "LCD Backlighting". Maintenant je suis un vendeur dans le même secteur. J'aime mon job, mais le dessin me manque et à l'instant je cherche un job qui me permett encore à dessiner. Je voudrais trouver un job en Europe, idéalement en France. <Up to now>, je cherche les poste sur LinkedIn ou Indeed mais sans chance. Je suppose mes questions ici est "est-ce qu'il y a mieux sites pour l'étranger à trouver un job pour un ingénieur?" Et, quelle est les mieux sites en France pour un job? Bien que je n'aie jamais été à Lyon, je pense que ce ville j'adorerais bien. Mais, je suis sûr qu'il y a des autres.
Merçi à tous!

MrStudyGuy, please don't do corrections as it is clearly not your native language, and you did mistakes in the correction that could confuse the author of the post.
Your French is great, and really the only thing that you could work on word order ! Good luck!
Finding a job in France can be really tricky even with the proper papers. For someone who isn't an EEA citizen or permanent resident, it's even harder. Companies who want to hire you have to pay a fee and justify their hiring decision to the ministry of the interior in order for you to get a work visa, which is why a lot of companies simply don't hire non-EEA nationals. However, being an engineer is in your favor as it's a relatively in-demand job and meets the government's requirement of 'highly skilled', which is the type of job given preference in allocating work visas. I would suggest first doing research on the lay of the land and trying to network. I don't know what the engineering world looks like, but many industries in France have industry-specific job boards. I work in publishing and you wouldn't go to those general job sites for work in publishing. Instead you go to the publishing-specific sites to find the openings. So my advice is to do research on what kinds of engineers work where, try your best to network and build up contacts in France, then refine your search based on that knowledge to where you'll have the most success. Also, find out about your immigration options, specifically the process for getting the appropriate titre de séjour for what you want to do in France. Without a network and contacts and an understanding of the industry, no one is going to pay much attention to a random CV from abroad when they're incentivized to hire a European.
Thank you everyone for the corrections. It's been a while since I've written in french so some of the mistakes are basic things I forgot but I appreciate all the corrections!
@charlesthelee - Yes your feedback is certainly what I've been finding in my research to get a job there. The only benefit I have is that my experience is actually in optical engineering, and even with that, its very specific. This helps as it's very hard to find people with my specific experience but that also means less jobs available since its so niche. Other than the US being a disaster of a place to live at the moment, I'm in no rush to move but sooner the better!
Certainly don't let it discourage you, though! Difficult doesn't mean impossible, and niche might be a major benefit to you once you identify the right players in the field. Bon courage !
