Very informative video! Switzerland's job market for foreigners is competitive, with language skills, networking, and specialized expertise key to success. Non-EU citizens face stricter visa requirements, while EU/EFTA nationals benefit from easier access.
I found it challenging to navigate the job market initially, but working with a professional broker, Marie Anne Canterbury, has made a huge difference for me. Her guidance on passive index income investments helped me build significant profits. Highly recommend for newbies looking to start up their gain. For more information Feel free to look her up on Google.
That’s awesome to hear, especially from someone who lives there! 🙌🏻 Glad you found the video informative. Is there anything you think should be covered in more detail next time?

Dear Charlene, Thank you for your videos. Well I was looking for a channel which is about life in Switzerland, especially for expats. and here it is. Looking forward to more videos about life, income, expenses, buying house/car, etc. Best
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad you found the channel and that it’s what you were looking for! I’ll definitely be sharing more about life in Switzerland, especially topics like income, expenses, and buying a house or car. Anything specific you’d like me to cover first?
Great content again and good to see the traction on your channel, I've been following since the beginning and the quality improved alot! I think a camera upgrade to Sony a6700 or ev-z1 will bring you to the next level!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 I'm really glad you're finding the videos helpful and packed with actionable insights. Your support means a lot! Is there a specific topic you'd like to see covered in future videos?
The "hire locals/swiss" before any other nationality is not respected in Switzerland, yes it exists as a law but come to Geneva where I live and you'll see that companies are filled with french nationals that live across the boarder and I'm not talking about them doing the jobs no other Swiss wants to do like for example cleaning, hospitality etc., they are employed in all sectors while there still are qualified swiss people for the job who are still looking for employment. It's become a huge issue in Geneva. But of course the french accept lower salaries + a big part of their salary is deducted for tax purposes since they technically don't live on swiss soil, so that's a plus for the swiss government because less expenses for the employer and the money stays well within Switzerland. Not everything is as perfect as it seems.
@@CharleneCong I used to work at Manor, the biggest chain store in Switzerland, and half of the employees are french, I'm not even joking - both in sales and in management/directors.
That's really interesting! I've heard Manor is a significant player in Switzerland's retail sector. It must have been quite the experience working there with such a diverse team. How is it feeling working in such a multicultural environment ? 🌍🛍️
I second this! Working in aviation and leaving in Switzerland in a shared apartment,with a person with Swiss citizenship, in Geneva most of the workforce is French. We also have to consider if you’re frontalier not only you earn the double but also when you exchange your salary (or a part of it) you’ll get more money.
do you think cybersecurity is a good career option in Switzerland ? (For freshers) - considering i do masters & have student visa which can be extended for job (also am fluent in German)... number of open positions itself is very low and not sure how many are reservered for local citizens (perhaps EU) do you have any podcast/blog/connections that can further give insights on my points?
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that the cost of living in Switzerland is quite high, and a salary of 4000 USD per month can be challenging to manage, especially in major cities where rents and mandatory expenses are significant. In such cases, it's crucial to budget carefully and look for ways to optimize spending. Have you found any particular tips that help manage living costs effectively in high-expense areas like Switzerland?
Thanks for the video, Charlene. I can speak Portuguese, English and Spanish, but i think it wouldn't be so useful in Switzerland.. right? i would need to learn german
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. For job hunting in the Swiss health sector, you can check out websites like jobs.ch, medinside.ch,www.hse.ie/eng/staff/jobs/. Have you tried any of these before?
你好！非常感谢你的支持和鼓励，真的让我很感动！🎉😊 放弃工作去创业的确是个大挑战，但也很值得！慕尼黑生活了10年，听起来你在那边已经扎根很深了，瑞士确实也是个不错的地方，有机会可以深入了解一下！如果你想私下交流，欢迎通过我的官方网站www.charlenecong.com 或社交平台IG or Linkedin same name 私信我。祝你一切顺利，也祝你秋日安康！!🍂
Am from Ethiopian and called Azmach Gebeyehu am male wanna to apply by project planning and management i.e graduated by this department By Master Of Science. Hence if any job application that invites me am ready to make apply by this department
Thanks for sharing, Azmach! With your background in project planning and management, you're in a great spot. Keep an eye on international job boards like LinkedIn for opportunities that match your skills. Have you already started applying, or are you just getting started?
Actually not many swiss do restaurant, waiter, hospitality, construction worker etc. jobs anymore. These are done by EU/EFTA workers (often seasonal worker) or even refugees.
You're welcome! 😊 In Zurich, a lot of people speak English, especially in business and international settings, so you can get by with English. But learning some German will definitely be helpful for day-to-day life and connecting with locals. Plus, it'll make things like paperwork and signs easier to handle! Are you thinking about picking up some German? 🙂
You’ve got a good point! Many companies do hire on an hourly basis, and the pay can vary a lot depending on the role and location. Not all jobs hit those higher salary ranges, especially for entry-level positions. Have you noticed any trends in hourly pay in your area or field?
The job market for international non-EU students in Switzerland's life sciences field is quite promising, especially after completing a master's degree in Switzerland. Swiss companies value local education and expertise in life sciences. Networking, internships, and language skills (German/French) can significantly improve your chances. What specific area of life sciences are you focusing on?
Hello Charlene, thanks for the informative video. I would like to know about sustainability jobs and chances for Indians. Could you please provide details on this? Thanks in advance!
Hey! Thanks for watching the video! 😊 Sustainability jobs are growing rapidly, especially in areas like renewable energy, environmental consulting, and corporate sustainability. For Indians, the chances are solid, especially if you have relevant qualifications and experience. Countries like Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands are big on sustainability, and many companies value international talent. Have you looked into any specific sectors or countries yet?
Geneva is quite international, so there are definitely English-speaking administrative jobs available, especially in NGOs, multinational companies, and some international organizations. Have you already started your job search, or are you just exploring options?
Thank you for your content. I have 3 questions though. 1. What are the chances a swiss company will hire a recent Master's graduate in Information Systems with a bachelor in Business having a total work experience of ~1 year 2. Are swiss companies open to discussing for positions entirely remote from Greece let's say? 3. How easy is for someone who knows a wide variety of tools and programming languages with a decent portfolio to land a job in Switzerland?. The potential employer will recognize my efforts on acquiring all this knowledge and certifications or will he assume that having all these will ask for extra money and in the end he is not worth the trouble? Thank you for your time. Keep up the good work
Thanks for your questions! 😊 Swiss companies often value education and relevant experience, so having a Master’s in Information Systems and a Bachelor’s in Business is a solid foundation. With ~1 year of work experience, your chances are decent, especially if you target entry-level or junior positions. Networking and tailoring your applications to each company will boost your chances. Some Swiss companies are open to remote work, especially since the pandemic. It depends on the company and the role, but it's worth exploring opportunities and discussing remote options during the interview process. Having a diverse skill set and a decent portfolio is a huge plus. Many employers will appreciate your efforts and knowledge, though salary expectations can vary. Highlight how your skills can add value to the company without emphasizing potential higher salary demands. Focus on what you can bring to the table. Do you have any specific companies or roles in mind? It might help to target those directly! 🌟
It can be a bit tricky to find jobs if you only speak English, especially outside of big cities like Zurich or Geneva. But it's definitely possible! Have you considered taking some basic local language courses?
Hey there! Finding a job in Frauenfeld without knowing German can be a bit tricky, but not impossible! Start by looking for international companies or roles that require English proficiency. Websites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor are great for job hunting. Networking can also be super helpful-try connecting with local expat communities or attending job fairs. Have you come across any interesting opportunities yet? 🌍💼
No worries, it’s great that you’re looking into it! For job fairs in Switzerland, you can check out events like Absolventenmesse, Talent Days, and specific university career fairs if you're near a campus. Are you planning to attend any of these soon?

Thanks for your questions! 😊
Swiss companies often value education and relevant experience, so having a Master’s in Information Systems and a Bachelor’s in Business is a solid foundation. With ~1 year of work experience, your chances are decent, especially if you target entry-level or junior positions. Networking and tailoring your applications to each company will boost your chances.
Some Swiss companies are open to remote work, especially since the pandemic. It depends on the company and the role, but it's worth exploring opportunities and discussing remote options during the interview process.
Having a diverse skill set and a decent portfolio is a huge plus. Many employers will appreciate your efforts and knowledge, though salary expectations can vary. Highlight how your skills can add value to the company without emphasizing potential higher salary demands. Focus on what you can bring to the table.
Do you have any specific companies or roles in mind? It might help to target those directly! 🌟
