| Job hunting is tough...
I've been here over a year now and am still unemployed. Of course my job hunting has not been very consistent (i gets bursts of renewed energy and motivation mingled with some real down time) but how can it remain so when i get so many disheartening results? I'm young and have no real marketable skills (bachelors in psychology and a barista - i make coffees - and many other menial job experiences), which is my main issue having a B Ausweis and competing with local Swiss for jobs I hear that employers need to prove they can't hire a Swiss person or someone at least with a C Ausweis) over you. English is not exactly an advantage in Switzerland, and mein deutsch ist noch nicht fliessend genug. Naturally I don't speak swiss either! I've searched papers and the Internet. My CVs have been returned repeatedly by "headhunters" or recruitment agencies and even local supermarkets, citing that i have no prior swiss working esperience! How picky! I have not been fussy about what kind of work I look for as long as it doesn't require perfect deutsch or swiss (or French and Italian for that matter). I'm almost at breaking point where I want to turn into godzilla and just stomp all over them!
*breath out* I really probably should have posted this in the complaints section of the forum... but it's job related too... Thanks for reading *feel better now*
