Job Opportunities for English speakin person

Hi All,


 


Apologies for sounding a little needy, but I have recently moved my girlfriend over from the UK, who is a qualified legal secretary, and I am trying to help her pin down a job. I'm here on a permanent contract with a bank, and I'd like to find a role in an office for my partner.


I am VERY aware that networking is key in Geneva, and I'm asking for help/guidance on finding a job for her...........she's a hardworker and is going mad not having a full time role.


 


suggestions???

Hiya!


 


Thanks for your input....really appreciate it!


Unfortunately the last firm she worked for were small, and that was not her last post in the UK. Also, she does not speak french just yet which seems to be causing a few headaches. It's becoming a little difficult for her to take in, which is why I'm trying to step in and network with other ppl to build relations. I work for a Bank, but cant find the time during the day to support her.


I'm sure we will find something, but any additonal input would be valued.


Thanks again,


Mitch

I would try to attend some of this organizationn's events and perhaps write letters to companies and organizations affiliated with the chamber.


Also, Geneva Women in Trade holds a monthly networking event, next one is August 18th.

List of leading law firms, just in case she does already have it...


Good luck!

Mitch,


I would recommend talking to Martine Gauderon at Alec Allen & Associés - she is the only specialist in legal recruitment in Geneva that I know of. She's extremely helpful, knows the local/international market like the back of her hand ... and speaks perfect English.  I'm sure she'll be able to help.
