How To Find A Job In Switzerland


Switzerland is a beautiful country that is ranked among the 10 best countries in the world. A lot of people visit it each year. It has amazing tourism attractions and it's a place where you can enjoy Swiss chocolate and cheeses. Swiss people enjoy a happy and comfortable life. Salaries are high and social and medical care is good. Those two things, mainly, make many people arround the world want to visit the country and look for a job. There are two main ways to look for a job in Switzerland, and I'm going to talk about them in the following:

1- Find a job through your friends network or relatives:

If you have good friends network in Switzerland or if you have a relative that has a residence permit, then you might be able to find a job through them. They can help you and recommand you to someone to give you a job. But, you have to keep in mind that the Swiss employment conditions are strict. For example, if there is a job offer and you want to apply for it, you will not get that job unless there is no applicant for the same job and who is Swiss or a legal resident in the country.

Work opportunities in restaurants is available, so if you have a friend or a relative that works in a restaurant, he/she can talk with his/her boss to employ you. This is done through a process in which the employer would send you a work contract that is agreed on by the Labor Office in Switzerland. If you live in a country other than Switzerland and you get a work contract from an employer in Switzerland, then you van apply for a work visa to Switzerland at the Swiss Embassy or Consulats un jour country.

If you are garanteed a Swiss work visa, then you can travel to Switzerland and get in touch with your employer. You need to be a serious person and of a good character. The authorities will help you to integrate in the Swiss community quickly. You also need to be commited to you work and you don't break any laws, and you shouldn't also rely on the assistance of the Swiss government.

2- Find jobs in Switzerland through the internet:

Looking for a job in Switzerland is the easiest way to find an appropriate job. You don't need to know anyone in the country to get a job. If you find a good job through the internet, then you would follow the same steps to apply for a work visa at any Embassy or consulate of Switzerland in your country.

How to get a work permit and a residence in Switzerland:

Switzerland gives foreign workers a long-term residence of category B, but there are some conditions that should be fulfilled:

The work contract provided by the Swiss employer should be a 6-month contract or non-fixed term contract. In this case, the employer can get the foreign person he wants to bring to Switzerland a residence and a job. The work permit can be renewed when it expires, provided that the foreign worker respects the laws of the Swiss labor.

To conclude this article, I would like to emphasize that jobs in Switzerland are given to people residing in the country first. But there are also many vacant posts that Switzerland launches for foreign workers every year.
