Hi there, me again! lool. My girlfriend will be looking for work soon in Geneva, having worked years in various companies in France as a Patissier. I just want to ask if anybody knows of anywhere in Geneva where they are looking for a Patissier, or a good company to start looking with....artisanal boulangerie patisserie's would be great also.

And just to have an idea, do you know what kind of wage she should expect in Geneva? Is there a difference between a man or a woman in the same post when it comes to wages? The French give less to the women for the same job, and same hours, which makes me mad. She works twice as hard to prove herself and she is paid less....we are not in the 1950's anymore!!!

Thanks in advance.

David

FAQ: A brief guide to salaries in Switzerland

Sadly this male/female salary thing is still alive and kicking in Switzerland too. I am not sure how easy it would be to find a job in a trade/craft like patissier in CH. CH still has a very strong apprenticeship system for all those crafts/trades, and most job require a Swiss qualification. I'm sure there are ways to get around those, but the Swiss job market is still very much protectionist basically, and will only outsource jobs if there is a shortage. Bonne chance.
