Hello everybody,

I registered and been reading posts for past few weeks to get an idea on how it is to apply for jobs, procedure and tax etc:

I have a Swiss girlfriend and I would like to move to Zurich in 08/2013.

I am doing Masters in Mechanical Engineering and I am willing to learn German language in next 1.5 years.

I am not applying for jobs just yet, I am a bit scared because when I search for jobs, its usually specialists and experienced engineers which are sought after in Zurich.

I have 0 years of experience. I am expected to get a 2:1 and maybe even 1st class.

I would be grateful if you can advise me on how to proceed in this next 1.5 years and will it be really possible for me to move to Zurich?

I have read few posts about ABB and Alstom but most posts were about experienced engineers negotiating salary.

Thanks for reading

James

What about something like this grad. program at ABB, perhaps after completing it you could get a permanent position with them....

Thank you jim, between do u think i will have any chance to just start working normally as engineer rather then newbie graduate, but i will definitely Prepare good before i apply for ABB graduate schemes , thank you again

Most employers here scan http://www.linkedin.com/ to find good staff. I would recommend you look at joining linkedin and paste your CV and photo there, it is a free service to you. Another good site, with tips and advice, is www.jobs.ch
