The Harsh Reality of Being a Student in Switzerland | International Student

[@shanwyn]

One issue with the job search is also caused by the education system here in Switzerland. Only about 1/3 of students go to university. The majority of Swiss go to vocational training after school. So the most available jobs, of course, look for people trained in these jobs. And yes, that includes jobs traditionally in other countries considered as "low entry" jobs such as waiters, construction workers, cashiers and so on. students from universities often have a bigger problem to get into these jobs because they are considered specialized. Not saying it is impossible, but in my company for example, when I need to hire someone I check what qualification/education I need and then pick from those who were educated in those fields, even if they are just graduating from their vocational training over someone who comes from university. Most university students get stuck with limited part time jobs and have it therefore a bit harder. But from my experience, students networks can help you. So make sure to get in touch with fellow students and ask them if they heard about job offerings suitable for you

I sure do wish i had found your channel before coming over ( just moved here for my masters, Lugano ), kinda had my suspicion about the state of the current job market but I didn’t really give much thought to it. I guess it’s to give it my best then and plan properly in event of an unplanned future.

Please keep making these videos. I am planning to move to Switzerland as a student god willing.

It's great to find another person schooling in Switzerland. I'll be moving next year to Lucern. I got an offer at the Lucerne University of applied sciences and arts. Thank you for your videos.

I hope you are successful in your job search. You sound like you could be a valuable member of - and a contribution to - the Swiss society. 🤞 Keep working on that German, and shout out if you need some pointers.

The cost of living in Switzerland is very high. I hope you can find a job soon.
