| Archie, if your potential future boss has sent you an email confirming a post, he is now in a position to follow that up with a formal letter of employment which, theoretically, you should receive shortly. Work permits are extremely difficult to procure in Switzerland, so I would like to suggest that you proceed with caution. Good luck in your endeavours! | |

It is true, the work permit issue seems very serious...but i also know a case of an Ukrainian friend who got a permananet contract here (and she is not a "specialiast" in i don't know what field...so this makes me think it is possible.
to keep you posted, i gave them a lot of documents to prove my work experience, so that i look like a "specialist" (which i am but is hard cause i am 25).
HR told me they spoke with Bern and there are 3 things:
1. the L-permit as trainee can be extended and work here a little bit longer (i don't know exactly how much longer)
2. there is a possibility to get a work permit for a determined period if i prove that afterwords i will go back and "use/implement" what i learned/worked on here
3. there is a possiblity for a permanent job, only if i prove that i am specialist in some special field in which they can't find anyone else from CH or old-EU-countries. (for fresh graduates there is no chance)
My situation is that i have almost 4 years of work experience in a cool niche field, but in the same time in my papers that are at Bern i am here with a "student L-permit for 6 months internship" and i graduated in 2006, now being a student in a masters. My internship ends on 1 Jan.08, and i could extend it or become a permanent employee (i really believe that the offer is for sure) but i am from "just entered EU"-Romania, for which it seems is difficult to become "permanent employee"...
i believe there will be a happy end in this all thing...but i wonder about what would be the best choice:
1. should i go for "permanent job" with work permit and pray it will be ok
or
2. should i just go for "trainee" L-permit extention "for a while" which i understood it is quite easy to get...
because i am afraid that if i go for the "permanent job" and Bern says NO, then it might not be so easy to apply again to the same institution (i guess) for "internship L-permit" ...i guess the procedure might allow it, but my logics and intuition says this is kind of strange...
well...this is it for now...i don't know what else to do but wait and see
