Working as a postal worker in France
Search for facteur, factrice, facteur en CDD for replacements, agent de distribution, and distributeur de messagerie for private carriers. The job is not regulated and no diploma is required, though a car licence is usually needed. La Poste, the main employer, now recruits on private employment contracts rather than through civil service exams, and runs apprenticeships linked to the CAP opérateur de service, relation client et livraison and logistics diplomas. Private parcel carriers hire delivery staff on similar terms. Summer and end-of-year replacements are a common first step.
