umm am not quite sure i agree with sense for france( no offense !! )..am in france and have been job hunting since heaven knows when within france and other EU countries..the main problem is not learning languages, as long as you speak english ( yes even in france in the IT industry)...if you have experience and seem like an intresting candidate i think you would find a potential employer, i have loads of south indian friends who are IT experts who dont speak a word of french but have managed to find remunerated internships which eventually metamorphasise into jobs in french as well as other multinational companies..but the question , us being nepali ,is not of finding an employer who ll want to hire you, it consists rather of whether the government of the country in question issues work permits in your industry..i know that in my case, it doesnt and that is why theres no point trying as long as these countries dont change their policy.. i am told by many HR officers all over europe( who woulda very much want to hire me but cant because no work permits for non europeans since the enlargement of EU since 2002) that it is only specialised professions such as doctors,nurses and engineers etc that are given work permits.. i do not in any case mean to put you down but my advise to you ( for france in particular) is to look up the work permit scene before applying for a job to avoid any future dissappointments..or if possible contact an IT company in france ( or the country you want) directly and ask their HR personnel if they can give you some insight to what the situation is.. wish you all the best
