Hi "smoke1",

Chances for jobs are the best in international firms. There are quite some with their main office in Switzerland. You'll mainly find them in the bigger cities like Zurich, Basel and Geneva.
For local firms, it is very helpful if you speak at least the language of the area where you're going to work (German in the middle, east and northern part, French in the western part, Italian in some of the southern parts). Keep in mind that an employer must prove that he cannot find someone for the job within Switzerland and the EU before he is allowed to hire someone from outside Switzerland and EU. So search for a job where you can offer something extra that others cannot. Like language or cultural knowledge/expertise.

Hope this helps,
Twan.
