Hello,

My name is Stella. I am searching for a job as a dietitian and looking forward to relocating to Switzerland. Currently leaving in Greece.

Any recommendations or tips from anyone in healthcare that moved from abroad in Switzerland?

Thank you

Someone beat me to it. It matters largely what languages you speak. Being that you speak German you may want to consider moving to a Swiss German canton. I moved here from the US almost two years ago. I work in healthcare as a Auxiliaiare de sante, got equivalency from the Crois Rouge, met the language expectation and still waiting even though the need is high. Things move slowly here and extreme patience is a must. Good luck

@yreffejh thank you!!

The thing is .....Do I move to Switzerland and start searching for job or continue searching from abroad?

I have in the back of my mind that Switzerland is an expensive country.
