Hey all, not sure how often everyone checks these postings. but I'm also in Switzerland, in Basel. Have been here for about 7 months now and am working for a peace and conflict research institute in Bern. I found that the best way to find a job as a 'foreigner' was to do research on your specific field in the country, dig out organizations and then email them for an informational interview. If you don't get a job, you will get a contact and they're likely to give you a tip for another contact.
The work permit process is hell! Anyone have any stories on this topic? Anyone else living in Basel? Cheers.
