I am an RD living in Zurich with my husband and since I don't have a work visa I haven't really tried to look for a job; however, surely I would need to know German, which I do not. I have been surprised by how many do not know English or know very little English. German is quite a difficult language and I've been here since June and have learned a bit but not nearly enough to be able to work in health care. Unless it is an English-speaking private company of some sort that would hire an RD, it would be imperative to know how to speak and read German. Otherwise you could not be able to read a medical chart. It has been a bit frustrating but I am settling on the fact that I will not be working while I am here. I've even tried looking into taking graduate courses but although the course may state it is in English, any that I have looked into also say you need to know German. Ugh! I hope you have luck finding a job where ever your path leads.
