Unable to find job in Geneva region
I am an Indian national with a Ph.D in engineering from the US. Have more than 5 years of work experience as a risk analyst at a large insurance company in Zurich. I have a Swiss C permit and will soon get the Swiss citizenship being married to a Swiss.
I would like to move to Geneva due to family reasons. I have been looking for quant based jobs in Geneva for over 3 years but somehow I am not able to even land up an interview. Some of the industries where I applied are private banks, commodity trading companies, hedge funds and big-data companies based in Geneva region. Although not a professional programmer, I can code in quite a few languages.
Headhunters/recruiters weren't of much use neither. Most of them weren't motivated to follow up on my requests.
I don't know if I have a problem with my CV format or my cover (motivation) letter. Somehow the same were able to help me land a job 5 years ago in Zurich. Can someone please help me understand better how job market in Geneva region works. Will be great to know from your experiences landing a job as a quant/coder in Geneva region. Also can someone please help me review my CV or point me to some professional reviewers.
Many thanks in advance for reading through my entire query and will really appreciate your response.
