Since I already hold a visa, can I still find a job within one or two months after studies in France?
Yes, after completing your studies in France, you can seek employment within one or two months. France offers a post-study work permit called the "Recherche d'emploi/Création d'entreprise" (Job Search/Business Creation) residence permit, which lets you stay for up to 12 months to find a job or start a business related to your field.
You must apply for this permit before your student visa expires. During this period, you can work full-time in any job.
If you secure a qualifying job, you may later transition to a long-term work permit such as the "Passeport Talent."
