French jobseeker Alexandre, 24-years-old, makes a phone call to apply for a job in Pessac near Bordeaux June 17, 2013. Alexandre, unemployed for over a year, left school at 16 with a CAP diploma in auto mechanics. In the past, he has been employed as a mechanic, worked part-time in the building industry and held other, short-term jobs. He now hopes to find a regular job in 2013, and has been making visits to the National Agency for Employment (Pole Emploi) and applying for positions in regional companies. If he cannot find work in France, he is considering trying his luck in a foreign country such as Germany. Alexandre currently lives at home with his mother, and goes to an abandoned warehouse to work out because he cannot afford a gym subscription. Picture taken June 17, 2013.
