France - diplomas, references, recommendation or proof of good conduct

Do I need to send diplomas with my application?

There is no need to send diplomas with your application, but do take everything to the inter-view. A copy of your diplomas with a certified translation might be useful, especially if your education was very different from the French education system.

Should I supply references, letters of recommendation or proof of good conduct?

Letters of recommendation are not essential. However, do detail your professional experi¬ence in order to show your competences. Some employers may wish to contact by phone or e-mail one or more of the employers men¬tioned on your CV. For certain jobs in security or public administration you may need to prove that you do not have a criminal record.
