I am looking for an IT support type job which only requires English language speakers

Hi
I really hope someone can help. I have been looking for work in the Zurich area of Switzerland for the last 3 months and had no joy what so ever!

I have a degree in IT and I currently work as an IT Support manager for a International company. The main obstacle seems to be my language as I only speak English and most of my refusals from agencies seem to highlight this as their reason why my application as not been successful.

I would really appreciate any information on companies, or agencies anybody knows of which will help me with my job search, or if anyone knows of any jobs going that would be even better.

Thank you in advanced.

Good luck with that (and welcome to EF).

Depending on how much you're willing to invest in a quest like yours, you might consider contacting the British Swiss Chamber of Commerce and/or the Swiss American Chamber of Commerce. For a price, you can get a listing of their members, which might yield some useful leads (i.e., English-speaking companies with offices in Suisse).
