Being allowed to work and reside in Switzerland

Switzerland, with 7.6 million people, has a foreign population of over 20 percent. The country is not part of the European Union, though it has a set of bilateral agreements with the EU, that make working for citizens from other EU member states possible without any hindrance. The same does not apply for citizens from non EU countries such as the USA, Canada and Australia. Unless you are an executive transferee (i.e. a person sent by the parent company to do a management or technical job in the Swiss subsidiary), it is very difficult to get a work and residence permit for Switzerland. There are some exceptions for people who have very special and rare skills for which there is a shortage in Switzerland. But the permits for those are limited to around 4,000 permits a year. As you can imagine, in a highly industrialized country like Switzerland, these are used up and allocated very quickly.

Though their work permits are often limited to 18 months, without the option of renewal. If you find an employer willing to offer you a job (for instance in nursing or in the IT sector, where there is a shortage of available labor), then your employer has to apply for a Residence/Working Permit B that has to be renewed annually. After five years, provided your behavior has been immaculate, you can convert that into a Permit C, which is something like the Green Card in the USA In other words, you gain permanent residence status.
There are a few other possibilities, such as seasonal workers in the hotel industry and agriculture, and stagaire jobs (training jobs) for which time limited work permits can be obtained. The official languages in Switzerland are German (the spoken language is Swiss German with lots of variations - about 63%), French (27%), Italian (8%) and Romantsch (2% or less).
Many people, especially in banking, business and obviously the tourist industry, science and engineering, speak English. The Swiss travel a lot and it is not uncommon to meet a secretary who speaks three languages and has been all around the world. The general education level is extremely high and there is an extensive apprenticeship system for non university graduates.

Housing costs in Switzerland are extremely high. Switzerland is a country of "renters" and comparatively few people own their own home. Though, condominium purchases have increased

during the last few years. In some cities, such as Geneva and Zurich it is extremely difficult to find good and reasonably priced apartments. As a general rule you have to expect to pay about 30% of your salary for your apartment.

The Swiss work generally longer hours than the rest of Europe, usually about 42 hours a week. They also have less paid vacation, three weeks per year for the first five years of a working relationship and four thereafter. Though, the legal requirement is three weeks only.

Links to Swiss Information Sites

Swissinfo Country Profile Official Swiss News Site with access to Daily TV News in German, French and Italian. The Web site is also available in English Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Arabic This site has lots of links for Economic,Cultural and Political Information
Swisslinks This part has links about almost anything you want to know about Switzerland Again this site is part of Swissinfo
Tagesanzeiger The site is in German. One of the largest Swiss and Zurich daily newspapers with job and real estate advertisements. This is a Tamedia Site

Many Swiss towns and villages have their own website with information about the municipality. To find for instance Zurich, you will have to go to http://www.zuerich.info, in English and German. (zuerich.ch is the Zurich Insurance!). As a general rule though, municipal information is found under http://nameofmunicipality.ch. If you cannot find a municipality, search through Google below.


There are regional JOB SITES, but they are usually in the respective local language (i.e. German, French or Italian). One of these regional sites is arbeit.sg ("work"). The site advertises jobs in the Cantons of St. Gallen. Appenzell and in the adjacent areas of Thurgau (all about 50 miles east of Zurich towards Lake Constance). The catchment area is in and around the City of St. Gallen (see http://www.stadt24.ch for the politics, cultural and social issues - obviously in German!). There are all sorts of jobs on offer but all job descriptions are in German. We can advise you, against payment of a small fee

on how to go about to get a job. For some jobs you can apply in English, but others will require fluent German and French

Ways of finding a job in Switzerland

There are several ways to find a job in Switzerland. The easiest, but not the most effective, and rather expensive way is to take out an advert in one of the daily Swiss newspapers. Nationwide read newspapers with good job advertising pages, for the German speaking part of Switzerland, are the Tagesanzeiger and to some extent, the NZZ (Neue Zuercher Zeitung - a sort of "The Times" of Zurich). For the French speaking part, the newspaper would be 24 heures . There is also the weekly Weltwoche for the German speaking part. But advertisements are not cheap. They appear once and cost between US$ 200 and 500 (Sfr 250 to about 600) for a single issue. Approaching executive search consultants is another possibility. Many Swiss search consultants though will only want your CV for a specific job for which they already have an employer assignment. They also tend to avoid offering people who need a work permit (i.e. non EU/EFTA citizens) to employers.

You can take out an advertisement in these pages. We have just started a new product line, a short job search advert (150 words). The costs are a mere US$ 9.99 and the advert will stay up for 60 days. Click here to see one and to order and advertisement. We have about 1,400 unique visitors a day on the Swiss page, about half of them commercial and employer visits. There are other sites, though, they are considerably more expensive.

Once you have placed an advert, you will need a good Curriculum Vitae. The Swiss version of that, like the German one, is a sort of all exclusive "exhibit of yourself". It is not an American personal sales document! To get help for that, you can start with the links below or go directly to our Resume Advice Page.
