French job vocabulary has a broad range and while there are some niche words that are often just found in a job context, there are other words that you already know - there's just some cultural customs around them. Learning French job vocabulary is important because not knowing simple words like the word for report, or meeting can leave you in embarrassing situations and your colleagues may find you to be lacking in your French knowledge.

We'll cover words for how to refer to your colleagues, how to talk about the things you may need to deliver like presentations or reports, and other cultural formalities like when to do la bise, when saying bonjour versus salut is appropriate, and more. Even if you aren't currently looking for a job or going to work in a French speaking environment, knowing these essential French job vocabulary words can increase your confidence and set you apart from other candidates when it does come time to apply for a job. Plus, after watching this video, you'll find that French job vocabulary is not even that difficult, and there's lots of tools to help you along the way. For example, the French TV show Dix Pour Cent or Call My Agent is set largely in an office so it's a great show to watch to build your French job vocabulary and also see how speakers switch speaking styles depending on the formality of the situation.

Throughout the video, we'll give you real world examples because with French job vocabulary, it's also important to know the tone and speaking style with which colleagues communicate - these nuances will help you blend into a French workplace and create a strong professional relationship with your colleagues.

The French job vocabulary that you learn in classes is often outdated because textbooks show you examples from decades ago - in reality, the French workplace still uses a good amount of slang and shortened words and these are nuances that only real world videos can capture.

If you're intimidated by the topic of French job vocabulary, I want to assure you that it's really not that challenging and many of the words are anglicisms as well since the English language is spreading throughout the world.

However, it is important to note that it's quite unprofessional to rely on your colleagues' English abilities in a French speaking workplace, and often, people may not be familiar with fancier, professional words in English.

If you're looking to work in a French speaking environment, learning the vocabulary on this list is a great start to be able to respect the norms of the French work environment and put that wonderful language knowledge you've been learning to good use.
