The Career Labs Job Search Networking Edition 1

Tue, Nov 10, 6:00 PM
From The Career Labs - Job Search Networking in Paris

Find your people before you find your job. Looking for a job in Paris as an international can feel lonely: endless applications, silent inboxes, and nobody to ask what actually works. The Career Labs is a small, honest evening to change that. Real conversations with people who've been where you are, and with people already working in the industries you're aiming for. This is our very first edition. It's free, and spots are limited to 15 people, so the conversations stay real. đŸŽ€ Guest speaker: Ayushman Dash Ayushman is Head of Data & AI at Jus Mundi, the Paris legal-tech company behind the AI assistant Jus AI. He has about 12 years of experience in artificial intelligence, especially natural language processing. Before that, he was an Applied Research Scientist at Element AI, and in 2020 he founded his own startup, Neura, in India. He's built a career across research, startups and industry, in India and in France, and he'll share what he's learned about AI, careers and making it work abroad. Bring your questions. What we'll do * 7:00pm: Welcome and quick intros. Grab a drink and meet the group. * 7:15pm: Rapid-fire networking rounds. Short one-to-one conversations, then switch. You'll meet everyone in the room. * 7:45pm: Fireside chat with Ayushman, followed by open Q&A. * 8:20pm: Live industry insights. Attendees already working in different industries share how hiring really works in their field, what they look for, and what they wish they'd known. * 8:45pm: Open networking. Swap contacts and follow up. * 9:00pm: Wrap-up. Who it's for * International students and recent graduates looking for internships or jobs in Paris. * Internationals changing careers, or new to the French job market. * Professionals happy to share their experience with people starting out.

Good to know 📍 Restaurant Shera, Paris 🕖 Tuesday 10 November, 7–9pm đŸŽŸïž RSVP, max 15 people. Please only RSVP if you can come, and free up your spot if your plans change.
