Joblinks to Swiss
Companies, Recruiters and Employment Agencies Being allowed to
work and reside in Switzerland
Switzerland,
with 7.6 million people, has a foreign population of over
20 percent. The country is not part
of the European Union, though it has a set
of bilateral agreements with the EU, that make working
for citizens from other EU member states possible without
any hindrance. The same does not apply for citizens
from non EU countries such as the USA, Canada
and Australia. Unless you are an executive transferee
(i.e. a person sent by the parent company to do a
management or higher technical job in the Swiss
subsidiary), it is very difficult to get a
work/residence permit for Switzerland. There are
some exceptions for people who have very special and rare
skills for which there is a shortage in Switzerland.
Though, their work
|
|
permits are often limited to 18
months, without the option of renewal. If you
find an employer willing to offer you a job (for
instance in nursing or in the IT sector, where
there is a shortage of available labor), then
your employer has to apply for a Residence/Working
Permit B that has to be renewed annually.
After five years, provided your behavior has been
immaculate, you can convert that into a Permit
C, which is something like the Green Card in
the USA In other words, you gain permanent
residence status. |
There are a few other possibilities, such
as seasonal workers in the hotel industry and
agriculture, and stagaire jobs (training jobs)
for which time limited work permits can be obtained.
The
official languages in Switzerland are German (the spoken
language is Swiss German with lots of variations - about
63%), French (27%), Italian (8%) and Romantsch (2% or
less). Many people, especially in banking, business and
obviously the tourist industry, science and engineering,
speak English. The Swiss travel a lot and it is not
uncommon to meet a secretary who speaks three languages
and has been all around the world. The general education
level is high and there is an extensive apprenticeship
system for non university graduates.
Housing
costs in Switzerland are very high. Switzerland
is a country of "renters" and comparatively few
people own their own home. Due to the shortage of land
land prices are high. Though, condominium purchases have
increased during the last few years. In some cities, such
as Geneva and Zurich it is very difficult to find good
and reasonably priced apartments. As a general rule, you
have to expect to pay about 30% of your gross salary for
your apartment.
The Swiss
work longer hours than the rest of Europe,
usually about 42 hours a week. They also
have less paid vacation, three weeks per year for the
first five years of a working relationship and, in most
cases, four thereafter. Though the legal requirement is
three weeks only.
