Hello everyone,


I am a US Citizen considering moving to Switzerland. I applied to a job right before COVID started with Hilti and felt that they were going to extend an offer. Unfortunately, it all fell apart as countries started closing borders. I visited in 2019 and fell in love with the country and would like to start the process again. I work in cyber security and simply want to know if you guys had advice for someone job hunting from abroad. I was able to get as far as I did after a ton of applications on the jobs section of Linkedin. I appreciate any advice you guys have to offer!

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

At the moment not many companies are taking on new staff, especially from outside Switzerland. Keep on applying, you might get lucky!

@Cyberware : Welcome to the forum. Did you try jobs.ch ?

Welcome to the forum - do you have any other passports?

The reason I ask is my employer is hiring quite a lot in the sector (2-4 new people per month); but we need to look at Swiss and EU first, which makes getting a permit for non-EU nearly impossible...
