Hi, I'm no expert, I've only been researching the topic (of job hunting and settling down in Switzerland) for a while, so I'll sum up what I've gathered (on EF and elsewhere).

First off, it's always a good idea to learn the local language (or High German :P) as many jobs require some knowledge of it. So I'd start with whatever means I have and try to get familiar with it. Of course a lot depends on your learning style, but there are less expensive ways as well, lots of people quote Migro Language School or whatever as the cheapest and I've heard it does not mean bad quality.

Also, I don't know where you got stuck exactly, at which step of the process. If the problem is that going trough the job sites you haven't found anything suitable -- well, that happens even to the best of us I'd look for schools/potential employees in the area and harass them for an interview Many jobs are listed on the company's site only. Check out the local newspaper too.

If it's rather the interviews that don't seem to work out, I'd suggest a pumping up of your resume. I don't mean lying, but research results show that teachers are the worst CV writers (no kidding, I've read this somewhere...). Besides, it's really an art to go to interviews and win employers' hearts. I know people who sˇck at it, though they're very talented professionals.

Well, and we all know that the job market just has recently gone through a major wipe out, so I don't really think the situation's permanent. We just have to stick it and hope for better times. They'll be hiring soon, I'm sure of that. Somehow I have the feeling that now's the time for life long learning, polishing our skills and getting ready for the great rush when employers realize the recession's over.

That said, unfortunately I don't know of any opportunities myself (besides the hundred new ones listed on jobup each day...). These are only general ramblings... Sorry for not having anything more specific...

Good luck though!
