do your best to network and get to know someone already working there. hiring does happen, especially at the entry level, where turnover happens more frequently. if you do get hired, be prepared to have the first 'review' at 6 months or so and to be let go before the end of year 3. this keeps them in line with french labor laws and they don't have to make you a 'permanent' employee, subject to all the rights that affords.
finally, be prepared to work really long hours. not in an insufferable environment (at least from what i could glean), but long hours. i know they typically brought in dinner for the genoa crew...

Anyone ever worked for the Paris office? Any advice for applying?
Be really good at what you do - that's my advice.
Apply. Good luck.
Check out the shop!
You can see it from Rue des Archives
Thanks! I am actually going to Paris in a couple of weeks-I was thinking of going by! :)
