О Tell Me Panda

В Tell Me Panda мы помогаем студентам и профессионалам достигать своих образовательных и карьерных целей за рубежом 🌍

Наш путь начался в 2014 году, когда я, студентка из Москвы, поступила в ESCP Business School в Париже. Этот опыт учебы за рубежом изменил мою жизнь: я не только получила степень магистра и престижное образование, востребованное на международном рынке, но и сильно расширила свои представления о мире. Но, как и многие международные студенты, я столкнулась с рядом трудностей: получение стипендий, изучение нового языка, адаптация к новой культуре, поиск стажировки и первого рабочего контракта (спойлер: моя виза истекла, мне пришлось покинуть Францию, но я смогла вернуться с рабочей визой).

У меня было ощущение, что я первый иностранный студент, который сталкивается с такими сложностями: мне очень не хватало преемственности опыта между международными студентами и выпускниками.

Так в 2017 году я создала Tell Me Panda, который начинался как личный блог в Instagram, а затем стал сайтом, где студенты делятся своими историями и опытом. В 2019 году мы запустили первые онлайн-программы. Сегодня мы уже помогли более 700 студентам осуществить мечты о учебе и работе за границей.

Наша миссия — строить мосты между культурами и людьми через образование за рубежом, помогая людям стать гражданами мира и строить smart & global международное комьюнити.

Пусть Panda станет вашим проводником в этот мир 🐼

Today is International Women’s Rights Day, and in many countries, there are demonstrations to support feminism. In the country I’m from, it’s simply Women’s Day, and we celebrate by congratulating women - moms, grandmothers, friends, teachers, and colleagues - by giving flowers and small gifts and praising how amazing we are 💐

As someone with two homes and two cultures within me, I believe both are equally important 🙌

I know that I am followed by fantastic women from all different parts of the world, and the situation with women’s rights can often be very difficult and heartbreaking 💔 (I read your stories in private messages)

I wish every woman could live a free, fulfilled, and happy life ❤️

Education is often the key to a better life, and it’s one of the most important values at Tell Me Panda 🐼. We are honored to accompany ambitious, intelligent, strong women of different age from all around the globe toward their freedom and dream lives 🌍 We know your fears, your doubts, and your struggles, but each of you is amazing, and sometimes you don’t even realize your potential🙌

I want to remind each of you, ladies, to remember your incredible inner power🥰

You don’t have to settle for less.
You don’t need to prove you can (of course you can, the question is do you want)
You don’t need to compromise your values.

If you’re going through a hard time and don’t feel powerful, that’s okay - it won’t last forever.

If you need a support, simple leave a comment, mention where are you from and how do your feel, and I will respond to each of you❤️

International Women’s Day 💕💗

French it will solve 50% of the problems you’re facing 🙌 Especially if you want to work here 🇫🇷

However, that’s just the minimum.

You also need the right job search strategy, a CV and cover letter adapted to the French job market, and a strong professional network 🇫🇷

We explained exactly how to do this during our webinar “How to Find a Job in France 🇫🇷 “

No, I didn’t marry a Frenchman ❤️

I arrived in France in September 2014.
I submitted my documents in April 2019.
I had my interview in October 2019.
I saw my name in the official decree in December 2020 - one day before the Christmas Eve 🎅🎄

So, the whole process took six years 🇫🇷 (It could have been faster - many factors influence the timeline. I also applied during the COVID period, so my wait was longer than usual)

Many people believe that marriage is the easiest (or even the only) way to obtain French citizenship. It’s sad that such misconceptions keep spreading. Of course, if you’re married, you can apply for citizenship through marriage. But ladies, you don’t need a French husband to become French🇫🇷

You can obtain citizenship without marriage if you are professionally integrated into France. That’s the path I took: 👇

✅ Lived in France for five years (or two years if you studied here) – I completed a Master in Management at ESCP Business School
✅ Speak French – In 2019-2020, they didn’t require a test since I studied here, but I was fluent and demonstrated it during my interview
✅ Work and pay taxes – I had a CDI (permanent contract) and had filed three tax returns
✅ Share French values and culture – I added proof of participation in several associations to my application, and I explained the rest during my interview

Obtaining citizenship itself isn’t that difficult, but the journey to get there wasn’t easy.
I struggled to find a job as many of you, faced visa issues (my visa expired, and I had to leave France), had my trial period terminated, and even experienced burnout at my dream job - but in the end, I made it🥳

So, bon courage🫶🇫🇷 to everyone still on this journey! I’ll answer your questions in the comments 👇

I am openly sharing my story to support those who struggle now …💪 check the highlight « visa 💔” to know the whole story

To know what happened after check the highlight « I lost my visa » @elina.sarazetdinova

Ps: yes, ESCP business school is the world’s first business school, as it’s the oldest, established in 1819❤️
In terms of ranking it’s in top 3 in France, top 5 in Europe, and also:
👉 #1 worldwide (Master in finance)
👉 #2 worldwide (Executive MBA)
👉 # 6 worldwide (MIM)

I am sharing my whole journey in France, check the highlight « my story » @elina.sarazetdinova ❤️🇫🇷 it was an emotional roller coaster 🎢

My French journey was challenging, as it is for many international candidates.
🤪It took me 5 months to secure my first internship, but I ended up accepting an offer from Amazon.
💔Later, it took me over a year to get a CDI job. When my visa expired, I had to leave France, but I managed to return with an offer and a 4-year Passeport Talent visa🇫🇷

I want your journey to be easier than mine, which is why I’m sharing all my knowledge about the French job market and inviting experts to guide you.
This way, you can save time, money, and stress because you’ll know the rules. And make your French dream come true 💗 I know that if you’re here, you love France and want to stay, right? ✨

Here are some key tips:

👉If you’re looking for an internship, start 6 months in advance.
👉If you’re looking for a job, start 1 year in advance.
👉Make sure your CV is polished for the French job market.
This Thursday, I’m hosting a webinar with a French HR expert: “Write a Winning French CV: How to Land Interviews”

We’ll share tips and best practices to help you stand out in the French job market as an international candidate.

Message “CV” to get the link 👇

1. Using the wrong format:
Such as a 3–4-page CV, too much creative design, bright colors, mixed fonts, or too many icons - may make your CV look unprofessional❌

2. Listing all experiences from different fields and roles: May make your CV too long and unfocused. French recruiters could struggle to understand the position you are targeting❌

3. Including unnecessary personal details:
like nationality, date of birth, gender, or marital status is not required - may lead to discrimination and do not add professional value to your CV❌

🇫🇷👉To learn how to create winning French CV, adapted to French recruiters’ expectations and land interviews join us on January 9th for our NEW webinar, followed by group sessions with a French HR professional for individual feedback.
