Can somebody tell me how an international accounting student can apply for a job in Switzerland?

We Answered:

1) Accounting in Europe is a Little different than in US. So, what you learned here, must be re-learn there.

2)Accounting is not where you will find job in Switzerland. There are schools jor business admnistration and accounting in higher education (public)

3) Even having a CPA degree will not suffice there, even less if you do not speak, read and write at lest one of the languages (French or German - Italian is not mandatory, but a plus)

4)If you are lucky, is either get a job in the US with a firm which has a branch in Switzerland (like Procter-Gamble), or work for Swiss company which has offices in the States (like UBS, Credit Suisse, etc.) and ask to transfer there. It may take a few years as well since you are finishing your studies

Otherwise, you won't be able to get a worlk permit by just going there and looking for a job.

Also, you are saying you don't have a permit in the US.....try to get one thru sponsorship or some employers may help you getting one.

Jobs that would look good on resume when applying for an accounting job?

We Answered:

Anything numbers related will look good. Try part-time at a bank or in bookkeeping. Also, try accounting temp agencies like Accountemps or Robert Half. You may not be a CPA (yet) but there's always accounting work needed. Any office work is also a plus, because it shows you've had experience in an office environment. Good luck!

Kathryn Said:

Where can an accounting student seek a job at?

We Answered:

Do you care where you will be living?

Look to http://www.Monster.com - it is a huge job site that lists jobs by category & location. Depending on where you'll be, you can also find job listings on the newspaper sites of the city you're interested in, like http://www.nyt.com for the New York Times or http://www.chicagotribune.com/ for the Chicago Tribune. You can search Google to find the major papers of whatever cities you're interested in.

You can search Monster.com for jobs and also put your resume on there for people who have jobs to search for. In your listing, say who you are & what your situation is so there will not be any surprises and you can all get what you want.

I would think you could even look to either the Federal or local governments and see what jobs they need filled. It is not just Americans who can work for the Federal Government. Some jobs you need to be a US Citizen, but not all. The job listing will say. http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/ is the main site for jobs with the US Government.
