Hi Everyone

I'm new to the forum, and have joined specifically to test the water in finding a graphic design position in Switzerland.

I have been visiting friends in Bern for a number of years and have fallen in love with the people and way of Swiss life. A total contrast to the rat run of living in London for 18 years!

So, if anyone has ideas or knowledge of the advertising or design industry in Switzerland and could point me in the direction of possible leads, would be much appreciated.

Regards

Mark Sampson

try www.projektil.ch They are cool digital video meisters in Zurich (they do a lot of public space art/guerrilla video wall graffiti, installations etc, as well as corporate stuff). They might have some leads. We worked together on a little project here in Basel during the art fair. PM me if you want more info.

I have a friend who has worked in CH for 5 years or so. He worked in Basel, Bern and then Zurich. He was a senior Design consultant in his last company but got made redundant last year and hasn't been able to find a job since. Very bad at the moment. Saying that sometimes it is a matter of luck and being the right place at the right time.

Hi Mark

Can you speak German or french? you might find it hard to find a position here without language skills. I'm a freelance graphic designer - luckily I was freelance in the UK too so no change when I moved here but I would have struggled to find a full time position without speaking German

If you do a search you'll see this question has been asked and answered several times before

Thanks
Nicky
