Hey Davyboy,from what you say (besides CH being a city
),
there are plenty of plumbing jobs here.at the bottom i will refer you to some job web-sites.but first,it is really imperative that you have a command of another language here, esp. in the Construction Trades,you say in Lausanne so ob. French.
The thing is,w/ my exp. here in Zürich as an Insulator (and yes - you guys really know how to make us think
) you will come by serious competition in your field.
If you have ANY: and i mean Any papers of certification as to your abilities you will need them,and if possible,Written letters of job performance from previous employers.You may need these translated as that will also help,but......and this is a seriously big Butt,
you will be competing for this job with people from all over CH,and in Switzerland itself who have gone to trades school such as you.
I really do not want to sound negative,just that you know the ropes,so to speak,as for jobs,the wages round out to about the same as you described per hour,but the cost of living here is much higher,so it actually comes out much lower.....and it is possible you may have to find work first through a Personal Büro
which reduces your income a lil' bit less.
I hope this does not discourage you,but I went thru my year of frustrations (re.Hell) without knowing what to expect at all,and had to deal with all as new expereriences I was not accumstomed to in the U.S. Trades.
I am sure you will do allright,but remember,every lil' bit of positive feedback from previous employers and schools goes a helluva long way here...........
good luck Canuck.
(not derogatory) I have Can. friends.
Web-sites:
www.speed.ch www.jobs.ch www.ostjobs.ch www.schaufenster.ch (this one lists other search sites as well as companies)
these should help get you started in the right direction Davyboy.
good luck.
p.s. when you see the word find box,try punching in engisch,or other language pref.
When we moved to England, my Swiss husband received (at our new address) a letter from the Swiss Consulate in London before we had even said we had arrived. Big brother is watching you!
