Hello,
I am fairly new to Expats.com.
I am South African, in my mid-30's and I wish to relocate to Switzerland. There have been many challenges in trying to get employment in the country. It appears that companies don't want to deal with non-EU citizens. Most of my feedback has been either that quotas are almost met for the year or that Eu or Swiss citizens are preferred.
There have been objections about the German language, which I am busy learning. However this does not carry any weight at the moment.
The most I can get now is a 3month holiday visa, and I am not allowed to work during this time. However can I look for employment whilst in the country for 3 months? Would this improve my chances of finding employment?
Or will it be better to perhaps further my studies at a university in Switzerland? and then find part time work whilst studying? Can one then find part time work easily?
What are some of the better Universities in Switzerland, for internationals?
Any guidance or assistance is much appreciated.
Thank you.
