How can I settle in Switzerland?

How do I find a job (internal auditor, financial controller) in Switzerland in the area of Geneva, Lausanne and Basel? I'm french, and I would like to settle there. I'm looking for a position since 6 months, I don't have any real offer. Do you have any idea?

  • Answer:

    There are many job vacancy services on the Internet; I'm sure you've found them. Until 2 weeks ago there was no restriction on a Fench person moving to Switzerland if he/she had a job waiting. Now (since the vote on mass immigration was accepted) it will be getting much more difficult; the prospective employer will again have to justify why he doesn't hire locally. With all that said, the fact is that most jobs are filled through relationships (recommendations by friends or relatives), so you need to get to know people in high places and impress them with your desirability/skills/competence; paper qualifications are secondary. Services like LinkedIn might help, if you can establish contact (through mutual acquaintances) with the people who are hiring.
