Graphic Designer looking for work in Wallis (Valais) region

Hi

I am a Graphic Designer, working in Dover, Kent. My partner lives and works in Leukerbad at the Rehabilitationszentrum
I have visited Switzerland 6 times and I have grown to love the beautiful scenery and life style it has to offer. I am learning German and its coming on quite well.
I would love to work in Switzerland - preferably Leukerbad or very near as a designer, but, I would accept any kind of work if it meant I'd get to live and work there.
I have applied for jobs with agencies but I never hear anything after an application has been sent.
If anyone can help in any way I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks, Dan

Re: Graphic Designer looking for work in Wallis (Valais) region

We live part-time in Wallis [further up the Rhone Valley] but are retired.
It is a well known fact that it is rather difficult to obtain a work permit for what is ostensibly a tourist area: if you were willing to work in a hotel in some capacity, your chances would be much greater than trying to find work as a designer, although you might just be lucky.
Try looking under La Nouvellist [newspaper] to see whether anything is offered there. There are [as you probably know] lots of hotels in Leukerbad, Inden, or even down in the valley in Sierre/Sion. Good luck. Private em us if you need more help.

Thank you for the tip.
What is your personal email if I need to get in touch? As you can imagine its very hard finding people who actually know how to go about things.
Did you find it hard yourselves finding employment?

Thanks again

Dan
