Re: Job hunting is tough...

My recommendation - go after global jobs.... Global companies and Headquarters often value more multilingual fluency and multicultural experience than fluent Swiss German... And very likelly you will have a foreigner manager who is not so strict about having prior Swiss working experience...

I could have written those posts myself, too.... only deleting the spouse part.... It took me about 8 months to find a job, and i was looking * very * systematically for several hours every day.... It just takes time, patience and a bit of luck....and errr.... persistency... The whole process is exhausting and i was at breaking point several times, but at the end, things worked out. I know it is of little comfort, but the Swiss market is in better shape than the one for the rest of Europe.

Good luck....
