Now that you have finished you studies, it is time to decide where to begin your career. Before doing so, it is important that you consider what you are looking for and where you fit in.
Does the company offer many different opportunities?
Air Liquide offers the chance to work in many different businesses within the same company. On this site we invite you to explore Air Liquide businesses. Moreover, we encourage people to seek out positions in more than one area as they progress in their careers. And, of course, our global presence means the chance to work in different countries is a very real possibility.
Is the company open to young people and ready to give them responsibility?
We value the new ideas and energy often provided by people beginning their careers. We recognize the need to continuously revitalize our company. Our philosophy is to hire the best people and then trust them to do the job. We routinely put young, bright, hardworking people in positions with significant responsibility.
Is the company international?
Air Liquide is in 72 countries—and we have been in many of them for a very long time. Our company was founded in France in 1902 and by 1910 had already expanded to include Belgium, Japan, Italy, Greece, Spain and Hong Kong. This growth has continued throughout the last century. A career with Air Liquide offers the chance to develop both in your country and on a truly international level.
Does the company value people?
People are our most prized asset. We know our employees are the source of our success and rely on their intelligence, creativity and determination to continuously improve our performance. The link between our employees and our success means we must continuously attract the best people. To do so, Air Liquide must be a great place to work. Our mission is to ensure this is the case.
Will it be possible to find a balance between your personal and professional life?
We believe a successful professional life and a fulfilling personal life go hand in hand. Yet we are also aware of the difficulty of striking the right balance. It seems as if there are always more things to do than time available to do them. We are committed to work with you to find flexible ways to meet the demands of both the home and the office.
