I have applied for apprenticeships and internships with all the big players mentioned but feel that they require French and German as English seems to be taken for granted as a prerequisite.
If you have been applying for this kind of stuff, I would not be at all surprised that you are getting kicked back. These positions are almost exclusively designed be bring in new Swiss blood - almost all the instruction is in German, at least in my company, so you'd have no chance!
