The "Penelopegate" scandal has shed the light on some of the more interesting jobs in France that can fall into the laps of expats. The job of an MP's aide is probably better paid than most jobs expats can get in France. Those interested in following this career path need to be warned, you’ll need an impeccable level of French because you will be required to correct the speeches of an MP with French mother tongue. You’ll need good social skills to be able to represent the MP at events and you’ll also need to “pass on people’s requests".
