STUDENT JOB IN SALES IN TOULOUSE
THE JOB :
You will accompany customers from all over the world, you will value your sense of contact, your impeccable knowledge of the products and services sold by the company and above all: your commercial fiber!

On the merchants's website, if they have one, or directly in the store. Take your printed resume and cover letter with you and go around town to apply in the stores that inspire you!

STUDENT JOBS IN TOULOUSE IN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
THE JOB:
To work at a hotel reception, you will have to answer the phone, welcome visitors and provide local informations. You must therefore have a good sense of contact and a good command of the English language. For this reason, recruiters tend to prefer international and bilingual or even multilingual students.
In addition, you should ideally have a flexible schedule: many reservations or customer arrivals are made late in the evening, sometimes at night.
HOW TO APPLY?
Hotel websites sometimes have a section with their job offers. If necessary, you can also approach the hotels by applying directly on site, with your CV and cover letter.
WHERE TO GO?
Choose the most touristy areas: most of the city's hotels are located in the center of Toulouse. But the Capitole district, the outskirts of the central train station, and the most emblematic places in the city (Place Victor Hugo, Place Jeanne d'Arc, etc.) are also full of hotel complexes.
STUDENT JOB IN A MUSEUM IN TOULOUSE
THE JOB :
Working at the reception desk of a museum, or becoming a tourist guide in Toulouse's greatest monuments, also requires a good sense of contact, but also a good knowledge of local culture and history.
To communicate easily with international visitors, you will need to master English, so your language skills will be welcome!
HOW TO APPLY?
Directly on the museum's website, or in the museums! Art touches us all differently, so don't hesitate to go to the art places you are most interested in!
WHERE TO GO ?
Toulouse has a rich historical heritage, and many cultural sites bear witness to the city's history.
Among the most emblematic museums of the city are:
The Museum of Natural History: a museum of natural sciences and ethnology that was completely renovated in 2007, in a very characteristic contemporary architecture. In addition to its rich collections of zoology, botany, paleontology and osteology, it has been endowed with a unique scenography, which makes it accessible to all.
The Musée des Augustins, created in 1795 (!) shows numerous sculptures from the Romanesque period to the 19th century, as well as paintings dating from the 14th to the 19th century. It is the museum of Fine Arts of Toulouse, and is housed in the former convent of the Augustins de Toulouse.
The Saint Raymond museum, or the archaeological museum of Toulouse. It contains many pieces from Greek and Etruscan art, but many objects from the Celtic, Roman and early Christian periods.
The Paul-Dupuy museum, which mainly exhibits a large collection of graphic arts and objets d'art covering the period from the Middle Ages to 1939. It has important collections of ivories, clocks, ceramics, ironwork, furniture and silverware.
STUDENT JOB IN AN INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY
THE JOB:
In order to walk among the shelves of international libraries, you will obviously need to master at least one, if not several, foreign languages.
Indeed, you will be asked to inform and advise international visitors, to classify and archive books, so being a bilingual student is a real advantage for this type of position.
HOW TO APPLY?
Applying directly there is generally the best way to get the recruiters' attention, unless job offers are available directly on their website, or on the website of the city of Toulouse.
WHERE TO GO?
The Toulouse's library is a group of libraries composed of the José-Cabanis library, the library of study and heritage on Périgord street, plus 20 neighborhood libraries: there is therefore a lot to choose from!
The students' campuses and universities also have their own libraries: don't hesitate to visit the campuses of the University of Toulouse - III - Paul Sabatier, the University of Toulouse 1 Capitole, or the University of Jean Jaurès to apply for a job!
JOBS IN THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR IN TOULOUSE: BILINGUAL BABYSITTER OR LANGUAGE TEACHER
THE JOB:
As a nanny, you will share the daily life of the children you look after during the most important moments of their day: snacks, meals, care, playtime. If you speak another language, you can even do bilingual childcare: an opportunity to share your passions and culture.
As a language teacher, you must have a perfect command of a foreign language and a desire to pass it on.
You will help students of all ages to reach their academic and professional goals: written expression, vocabulary, oral expression...
HOW TO APPLY ?
You can apply through job offers, word of mouth, etc. You can also apply through an agency that will put you in touch with families according to your availability.
