Exam Tip: In French, when stating a profession you'd like to pursue, remember to omit the indefinite article (un,une) before the job title if you're using the verb devenir ("to become"). For example, say "Je voudrais devenir médecin" instead of "Je voudrais devenir un médecin".
To say why you would like a particular job:
Mes attentes prioritaires d'un poste sont : (My top priorities for a job are:)
C'est un métier qui me conviendrait car je suis..(It is a profession that would suit me because I am..)
Grammar Point: Using "Avoir l'intention de" and "Compter"
"Avoir l'intention de" + infinitive J'ai l'intention de travailler dans le domaine médical. (I intend to work in the medical field.)
"Compter" + infinitive Je compte sur mon stage pour acquérir de l'expérience. (I am counting on my internship to gain experience.)
Exam Tip: Structured Responses: Always structure your responses logically. Start by stating your ambition, then explain why and how you plan to achieve it. For example:
Je veux devenir avocat parce que je suis passionné par le droit et j'aime représenter et défendre les intérêts des gens. Je prévois de suivre des études universitaires et de faire un stage dans un cabinet juridique.
I want to become a lawyer because I am passionate about law and I like representing and defending people's interests. I plan to pursue a university education and do an internship in a law firm.
Exam Tip: Avoiding Repetition Try not to repeat the same words or phrases. Use synonyms to keep your responses interesting! For example, instead of repeating "Je voudrais", you could say "J'aimerais", "Mon rêve est de", or "Mon ambition est de".
