Jobs in Advertising agencies/Would my British qualification be recognised in CH

Dear all,

I'm currently a student in London ,doing a BA Advertising degree, and I was just wondering would I be able to find a job in Switzerland ( I know a little bit of German and I'll be undertaking various language courses like B2 and C1)in an advertising agency like "Saatchi & Saatchi" for instance, or any other major advertising agency in Switzerland, after i graduate. Would my British qualification be recognised in Switzerland?

My father is married to a Swiss citizen and I've been to Zurich couple of times, but still I have no clue how the system operates here. I guess once I start to live here I'll be granted a B residence permit. If anyone could share his knowledge/experiences , that would be just wonderful. Any advices/suggestions are more than welcome.

Many Thanks,

Steve



PC: I'm in Zurich for a week

Steve, London is the capital of advertising, along with New York and maybe Düsseldorf. Switzerland is where advertising goes to die. You already live in the jugular, play that card right buddy.

German wont help you with Saatchi & Saatchi, they are based in Geneva & English is the important language.

In CH they only do adaptions with a tiny budget, as slammer says it's not the place to be.
