About The Book
Switzerland has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe and one of the highest average salaries in the world. A quarter of the Swiss population are foreigners, and only a third of the students in secondary school go to some sort of university. Taking into account these facts, it would appear that the chances of getting a (good) job in Switzerland are relatively high for a well-educated foreigner actively seeking employment. Somehow, nonetheless, this was not the case for me for a long time.
“If you are about to embark on the job search this is definitely the book to read!”
“Highly recommended for those who plan to move to Switzerland or are currently unemployed”
“The personal stories shared in the third part of the book are, in my opinion, applicable to anyone in any country facing unemployment and looking for ideas on how to deal with it, practically and emotionally”

„Das ganze Leben ist ein Marathon. Die ersten Schritte fallen dir noch leicht. Du glaubst, nichts kann dich stoppen. Aber dann kommen die Schmerzen. Deine Kräfte schwinden. Meter für Meter. Du glaubst, du kannst nicht mehr. Aber du läufst weiter. Immer weiter. Bis zur totalen Erschöpfung.

Und am Ende steht der Sieg. Ganz sicher. Der Sieg.“
