Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me what the usual job application ettiquette is in Switzerland?

I applied for a job (engineers/technical documentation writer) out of the newspaper, which did not have an email address quoted. Instead of sending it to the postal address that was listed, I searched online for the company´s web and email addresses and sent an e-copy instead.

Is this likely to reflect badly on my application, or is the initiative acceptable...commendable even?

I was told by a German that it meant that they probably wanted a printed and posted copy to get an idea of my "style" etc. Anyone have any experience or knowledge on the subject?

Thanks in advance
