Job-seeking for Non-EU graduates from Swiss Universities

Visas, Permits, Passports and Naturalization

Hi,

I'm a master student from EPFL and will graduate in May.

I plan to seek jobs in Switzerland and hope to find something within six months. However, without speaking fluent German or French, I notice it is a bit difficult. I hope I can find some friends under the same situation, so that we can share the experience and encourage each other.

I wonder whether anyone knows any chat group or channels where I can find more comrades Also, if you are having the same trouble as me, please feel free to reach out!

Best,

Di

What did you study?

Have you inquired through the university channels already?

Why not start improving your language skills now?

Hey, I study at a STEM program. I have asked the career center but didn't receive really helpful advices (They just told me there are limited chances for Non-EU students to enter the mkt). I'm not sure whether we have any channels for non-EU students' job seeking at EPFL, so I prefer looking for someone on EF.

That's a good advice. Tbh, I have learned French for two years. However, I still don't think it's qualified to be at the working-level...
