What’s Included:

• French resume template (editable in Word)

• Step-by-step guide (in English) on how to fill it out correctly

• Cover letter writing formula + examples (for marketing, tech, admin, student, creative)

• Job search tips: where to apply, when to use English or French, and explanations of contract types like CDI, CDD, interim
