hello, can you tell me have you find some job in english in Switzerland?
Welcome to the forum. Have you looked this thread ?
English speaking companies + Web Sites for job searchers in Switzerland
Does anyone know any ways to find "normal/lower level" jobs?
I am 21, and don't have a degree and on all the jobsites I've looked through (many thanks to everyone who has posted sites to help) are offering jobs that I am quite honestly not qualified for, managerial roles etc. I am hoping to move over/spend a length of time in Switzerland and while I will be doing my utmost to improve my German while I'm there I was hoping I could find English speaking jobs to do until my German is (hopefullly ever) good enough to work in a German speaking environment.
I would be looking at jobs in bars, cafe's, cleaning hotels, English speaking tour guide. Stuff like that, but can't seem to find anything anywhere... Are these jobs only advertised locally?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Not sure how useful it will be, but this site was regularly linked from the job search portal that I have been using:
For a generic site with all levels of jobs (everything from cleaners to directors), have a look at www.indeed.ch . This is a portal that pulls job ads from Monster, JobUp and many other job search websites.
Thank you a lot, I hope it would be helpfull
Hi All,
I'm an IT professional, currently working in India and looking for relocation to Switzerland. I'm looking for an English speaking company as I don't know German, so could you please help me find an appropriate job.
Thanks in advance...
What do you do exactly?
And did you check the link in the previous message on this thread?
And are you eligible to work in CH?
Welcome to the forum.
dear all, Pls remember in Switzerland, for day today living and normal life, u need to know basic German language and its mandatory in a way for you to maintain a balanced life in Switzerland (for you and for ur family) not to mention you need permit to work in first place.
Or French (or Italian) depending on which part of the country you will be living in.
German wouldn't be much use to you in Lausanne or Lugano for example.
This is an ENGLISH forum, not a flipping text-speak forum!
And I don't fully agree, it's not mandatory to know basic German/French/Italian. Sure, it helps and it makes things easier. But you can live quite ok anyway.
Big yes on the work permit though.
Thanks a lot for replying...
• I'm a Software programmer working as a Senior System Engineer at Infosys Ltd. I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and three+ years of programming experience (majorly .net). I have good knowledge of C, C++, C#.NET, TSQL, SQL, PLSQL, Oracle, MOSS, Java and Cobol.
• I have gone through sites listed and few other sites as well but till now haven’t received even a single positive response.
• I’m an Indian, so currently not authorized to work in CH, I need a visa/ work permit.
Switzerland is a dream place for me (loads of chocolates and cheese ), so looking for work +visa.
Was rigorously searching on net and found this awesome site.
And about the language, could people suggest me which language I should start with. German or French?
I don't want to be a nay-sayer or rain on your parade, but I don't think chances are too great that you will get something without having some sort of personal network contact. Of course, maybe your field is different and loads of people are needed. It is really hard right now for non-EU to get a job here, at least that is the feeling I have from people here. I also am looking and have a valid B permit with work permit and haven't had any luck (well, with the 1 job I applied for )
As far as which language to start with - well, that would really depend on where in Switzerland you are looking to land.
Thanks for the information Drmom. I'll keep posting my resumes on the sites mentioned.. and start learning French.. so that i get to work in CH.
I have also recently taken interested in Switzerland. I have worked in Healthcare for many years now, as a care assistant, a support worker in many environments such as hospitals and care homes.
Other than that I have no more academic certificates other than a few AS levels.
I honestly dont mind what job I do, as long as i can pay my bills, I am willing to try something new.
Good morning
As you are from Bulle - do you speak any French?
I would contact nursing homes or smaller hospitals in the area, there is quite a lack of available personnel in Switzerland so if you are experienced you should probably find something.
Good luck!
To all non EU seekers: Just remember that most open positions that do not require any sort of academic back ground or specialization within a specific field (and even them that have a degree/specialized area of expertise), there are more than enough EU/Swiss people who can do the job and they are first in line. It's not worth the hassle to apply (and prove this and that) for a visa for a non-skilled/skilled workers when there is more than enough to pick from readily available in Europe.
I'm not saying it is impossible BUT don't get your hopes up...
This is indeed the case, however in the field of healthcare Switzerland is sorely lacking in people willing to take the jobs - I would consider it worth a shot.
ahh ok. many thanks, its worth the shot
