Exploring opportunities in Switzerland

Post new topic

Hi, I am a chartered accountant based in Ireland exploring opportunities in Switzerland. Is it advisable (finances permitted) to have a Swiss address before a job search commences or are overseas applications welcomed in your experience?


Thanks

It would be wise to write and speak 1 of the 4 official languages of Switzerland. For a better chance of employment.
