A la recherche d'un emploi definitely fills a tremendous void in the field of business French.

Of particular interest is the incorporation of la Francophonie and the European Union, two critical topics rarely presented in other business French textbooks. Anyone intending to seek employment in a French-speaking country or region will benefit greatly from the content and guidance that this text provides. - Will Thompson, University of Memphis Finally, a textbook for Business French that actually prepares students for the real world and today's tough job market .
