Hi, so can I have an overall picture of how I should treat this issue?
I arrived Basel in July, an non-EU member, to look for marketing jobs (11 years in fast moving consumer goods) and try to settle here with my boyfriend. Yesterday, two headhunters sort of turned me down by saying
First one: do you have a working permit for Switzerland? If not, they are very hard to get at the moment and companies are recruiting across Europe where there is a reciprocal arrangement rather than outside of the EU.
Second one:
Switzerland made changes to its visa process 6 months ago that made it near impossible for individuals outside of the EU to gain entry to Switzerland. For particularly rare skills this can be waived, but it is incredibly unlikely.
It sounds devastating for me to hear so. How should I treat this news? Still look for jobs or pack and go? What are the tips to tell the hunters to continue working on my cases or any recommended head hunters who are more willing to offer helps for non-EU members?
Great thanks.
