Being
allowed to work and reside in Switzerland
There
are several ways to find a job in Switzerland. The
easiest, but not the most efficient, 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, the extreme rightwing Weltwoche
for the German speaking part. Advertisements are not
cheap. They appear once and cost between US$ 500 and 700
(almost the same in SFR) 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 to businesses
who need a work permit (i.e. non EU/EFTA
citizens) to employers.
You can take out an advertisement in these pages.
We have a product line (order
here), 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 an 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.
We
cannot guarantee that you will get a job.
Nor can we ensure, that you get a work permit. Though, if
you find a job and are highly qualified,
the work- and residence permit is not a problem. However,
we can improve your chances and, tell you what you will
find regarding the quality of life and the general job
situation. We will not apply on your behalf and to whom
you apply for a job is up to you. You should also be
aware that many jobs will require, besides English,
fluency in German and/or French. High School
knowledge will not do for that.

Things
Swiss
A choice
of high quality things you can buy in Switzerland or on
Swiss Internet Sites
The
Swiss economy is not built on mass production but high-quality
work and well-trained workers. Many businesses
have followed what they call a "niche
strategy," concentrating on a small range of
expensive, high-quality products. As a result, even some small
enterprises (known in Switzerland as KMU's)
have been able to corner the world market in their
specialty. Apart from watches, food (Nestle), chocolates,
pharmaceuticals and operating banks and commodity trading
houses, high-end engineering, Switzerland produces
articles you probably never associated with the country.
A few of them are shown below!
