| There's an additional complication in that fair recruitment laws either don't seem to exist or are commonly ignored. Definitely, the recruitment process in a lot of Swiss businesses is not transparent and often people get jobs based on personal contacts and not from being the best of the applicants for an advertised position. ie. The positions are never even publicised.
IMO, for a foreigner with no current job it's best to go via an agency. They will have made the contacts ready-made. | |

I've been through the threads, and have shared links to job search engines. Right now I am applying to jobs everyday at this point -- wrote new cover letters in English and German today for more jobs.
In terms of job agencies, do you have any recommendations? Or is there already a list of non-IT agencies somewhere on here? I have yet to simply contact an agency directly, without it being a specific application. My main problem is that I am a fresh college graduate (albeit with very good grades and honors) and only have experience working in the accounting department of a non-profit (14 months total, spread over four years).
