temporary work

[lucy_j]

I am considering spending a year in Paris after finishing my law degree next summer. I am not fluent in French but speak and write it to A-Level standard, and the purpose of the year would basically be to become semi-fluent in French and get some work experience. Could anyone tell me how likely I am to be able to find an office based job, possibly through a temping agency? I will be 23 by the time I go and have about 6 months experience of similar work. I have considered TEFL but cannot really afford the course and would prefer to gain office experience for when I return to the UK and start my career, although I get the impression that in the major cities a TEFL qualification is not always necessary- is this the case? Thankyou!
