How to find a job in Switzerland: Advice from a trailing...
Text size
Whether you're following your partner or moving to Switzerland on your own, Chantal of One Big Yodel offers some tips on looking for work there. Rule number one: don't wait till you arrive!Sometimes people ask me, as a ‘trailing spouse’, how I managed to find a job so quickly upon arriving in Switzerland from the United States. The real reason is that I started my search before I left home.
Upon giving my notice to my former employee I asked if they could help me find a job overseas. They agreed to send my resume to the New York office in their network, who then forwarded it to the Zurich office.
I was lucky. The Zurich office needed an English speaking writer at the time and I had an interview set up before I even left US soil.
With that said, here are some job hunting tips and tools:
1. Use the networks you already have. You may not know anyone where you are moving to, but chances are, you know someone that knows someone. Get the word out that you are looking for a job in Switzerland – before you even leave home. Use your former office for help and contacts.
How to apply for a residency or work permit in Switzerland for you and your family.
Information about renting property and obtaining a mortgage in Switzerland.
Information about the Swiss healthcare system, health insurance, pharmacies and emergency numbers.
