Even the Swiss have a hard time getting the boring, tedious positions - they are just dwindling in numbers.

It is definitely best to try and just get in with an agency and do temp work or consulting/contracting if you aren't having luck finding a permanent position. I'm contracting and have been at the same company for over 2.5 years. I consider myself extremely lucky, but I know I'm not the only one who lands in positions like this.

oh absolutely...consulting and contracting is the way to go while one looks for permanent positions...the thing is though that most of the contracts tend to be in the IT space. And I think that most of the IT folks have no problem landing permanent positions. They write their own ticket at UBS and CS.

well done though Evilshell! You are proof that it can be done !
