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. Bring * Your LinkedIn on your phone, and a one-line answer to "what are you looking for?" * Curiosity. No CVs, no pitches needed. 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.

Design & Leadership : Trouver sa posture de leader

Design & Leadership : Trouver sa posture de leader

Mon, Nov 9, 6:30 PM
From Le Meetup du Laptop - UX & Création
4.5

Le Design Impro Crew revient au Laptop ! Être Head of Design ou Lead Product Designer, c'est souvent jongler entre mille casquettes : donner une vision claire, embarquer son Ă©quipe, gĂ©rer les tensions, rĂ©pondre aux attentes des stakeholders
 tout en restant inspirant·e, disponible et aligné·e. Pas toujours simple ! Et pourtant, c'est prĂ©cisĂ©ment dans ces moments de flou et de pression que le leadership se rĂ©vĂšle. Dans cet atelier, on aborde ces dĂ©fis de front, avec une arme secrĂšte : le théùtre d'improvisation. Pas besoin d'ĂȘtre comĂ©dien·ne, juste avoir l'envie d'expĂ©rimenter, de se tromper et d'apprendre dans un espace bienveillant et sans jugement. Au programme : des mises en situation concrĂštes pour s'entraĂźner Ă  donner du sens, crĂ©er l'adhĂ©sion et trouver la bonne posture mĂȘme quand tout s'emballe. Parce que mobiliser, fĂ©dĂ©rer et incarner son leadership, ça s'apprend. Pour les Head of Design et Lead Product Designers prĂȘt·e·s Ă  passer Ă  la vitesse supĂ©rieure. Fous rires garantis !

L'idĂ©e de cette session : crĂ©er des portraits naturels dans une ambiance **street & lifestyle parisienne**, entre petites rues, façades, portes, cafĂ©s et scĂšnes de vie du quartier. PlutĂŽt qu'une succession de poses figĂ©es, nous chercherons des images spontanĂ©es : marcher, regarder autour de soi, s'appuyer contre une façade ou simplement profiter du dĂ©cor. đŸ“· **LE PRINCIPE** La sĂ©ance est **gratuite** dans le cadre du dĂ©veloppement de mon portfolio photographique. En participant, vous acceptez qu'une sĂ©lection des photos puisse ĂȘtre publiĂ©e sur mon **portfolio et mes rĂ©seaux sociaux, notamment Instagram**.

The idea behind this session is to create natural portraits with a **Parisian street & lifestyle feel**, using the neighbourhood's small streets, façades, cafĂ©s, doorways and everyday Parisian atmosphere.

Casual chic, denim, a jacket or coat, an urban outfit or something slightly more dressed up can all work well. The goal is to create a **natural Parisian lifestyle look**. 🕑 **TIME** This session takes place **during the daytime, outside Golden Hour**. ⚠ **IMPORTANT** This is a **Model Call designed to develop my portfolio and explore different styles of portrait photography**. The concept is defined in advance, and participation requires permission for a selection of the images to be used on my portfolio and social media. đŸ“© **Limited spots – registration via Meetup.**
