How to find a job

If you are seeking work in Switzerland, you should preferably consult the EURES advisers in your country before leaving. If already in Switzerland, you can register free of charge with your local regional placement office (URC).

Vacancies are often advertised in special supplements to the major Swiss daily newspapers. The best known are ‘Emploi&Formation’ (Le Temps, Geneva), ‘Dossier Emploi’ (24Heures, Lausanne), ‘Stellefant’ (Basler Zeitung), ‘Stellenmarkt’ (Bund and Berner Zeitung), ‘Stellen-Anzeiger’ 'Stellen-Anzeiger', 'NZZ Executive' (Neue Zürcher Zeitung) and ‘Alpha’ (Tages-Anzeiger and SonntagsZeitung, Zurich).

Most of these vacancies – and many others – are advertised on the Internet. Many sites facilitate searching for job offers by sector (e.g. catering, medical, information technology, etc.). You can also register with a private recruitment agency. Although they charge for their services, these agencies have excellent contacts with businesses, which often approach them for their staff requirements.
