You have a promise of employment or an employment contract: you can apply for a residence permit that will allow you to work, but only for certain occupations that are "in short supply" (employers find it difficult to recruit for these occupations).
Please note Some countries have signed more favourable agreements with France (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Congo, Gabon, Georgia, Mauritius, Senegal and Tunisia).

With a professional bachelor's or master's degree, you can work in any occupation related to your training, as long as you earn a salary of at least €2,702.70 gross per month.

You do not have a promise of employment or an employment contract: if your degree is a professional bachelor's or master's (or equivalent), you can apply for a residence permit to look for work/create a business, valid for twelve months and non-renewable while you look for work in France. 

Please note: apply for these residence permits at least 2 months before the expiry date of your student card.
