Any advice for a university student desperately looking for a summer job?
Feb 19, 2010 @ 22:56

Hello everyone,


I am currently studying Insurance in Ireland and really want to work in Switzerland this coming summer for 3-4 months starting May. I am looking for an insurance related position but will gladly accept a banking/finance job also. My mother tongue is English so would therefore prefer a job using this language. As I do study French also, I don't think my level is sufficient enough to speak it at a professional level. My issue is that I don't know exactly how to go about looking for this type of job in switzerland. I have looked at Swiss job web sites but cannot find many temporary positions.


Any help at all will be most appreciated,


Clara

Hey Clara. I decided to take a bigger risk and come here during the winter and get a job from now through the summer to get paid for the rest of college. It was a lot harder but I'm glad I found a job less than a month later. I was very fortunate as I feel Switzerland makes it rather difficult for some people depending what job you want. That said, I am in Geneva which isn't a piece of cake to begin with.


 


I'd say summer will hold a lot more options in store for you. Approaching the time you want to come look for job search sites like jobup and jobs.ch


 


You can refine your search for just English speaking and so on. Summer jobs are a lot easier to find. Be patient and good luck!
