What do French Pilots do?

Salut!

I am sorry to ask this in english (If I try in French we will all be embarrased!) but I am an Australian pilot with a CPL and soon to be Instrument rated. When my training is finished I will be converting my licence to a JAA CPL with ATPL theory and my language to French.

When I have completed my training here in oz, I will be coming over to Europe.

What are the types of jobs French CPL graduates obtain when they finish their training? Is it similar to the UK where many pilots apply directly to airlines (and purchase jet endorsements) or are there job opportunities in General Aviation (GA) such as charters etc?

Unfortunately instructing is a little bit too difficult for me with the conversion (and language) rules etc so I was wondering what other types of GA jobs are up there for you guys. I don't want to come and take your jobs, however my partner is French and ideally it is the best place to be.

Je suis désolé pour l'anglais, j'apprends le français maintenant!
Merci Beaucoup
