Hello everyone,

My name is Patrick, 34 years old and I have moved to Switzerland recently.
I have lived in the Netherlands for just over 34 years. During my last job in the Netherlands I  became an operator for a process called high speed laser cladding, the company I worked for was the very first in Europe to use this new process. I worked with this process for nearly 5 years in the Netherlands.
A Swiss company called Oerlikon Metco approached me and asked me if I had any interest in working for them as they just ordered a high speed laser cladding machine for R&D purposes and they wanted to have an experienced technician.
After a meeting and a series of talks I signed the contract and moved here. The Corona virus hasn't made it easy as both the new machine and my arrival was pushed back several months.

After some time I got offered a contract and I was able to get myself a car to drive around Switzerland and see all the nice places the country has to offer.
Right now my girlfriend is also arranging things to be able to move to Switzerland so we can be together again. Switzerland is great! After one month I found an apartment in Waltenschwil and I love to go out and do some mountainbiking, snowboarding and hiking. The Swiss people are also very kind and helpful so far, and the Swiss mentality is much better than the Dutch mentality.

Staying here indefinitely is something I wouldn't mind at all.

Hello my name is Derrick Newbill, I am a married father of two. I have a beautiful wife and a boy two years old and a girl 4 months old. I am a skilled industrial maintenance mechanic at Ingalls Shipbuilding where I have held many job titles all in the mechanical field.. I am also currently beginning a pursuit of a construction management degree albeit a little late becomes I am 37 years of age. I live in the southern United States and am casually exploring moving abroad, the political strife in this country has become too much for me to ignore and I would like to go to more peaceful surroundings to raise my kids and enjoy my life with my family. I may never be able to do this but it never hurts to explore the idea.. Thanks all...

I'm new too.  My dad was born in Lucerne and I'm trying to get back there because of the political climate here too

Honestly, everything feels just a tad overwhelming at the moment but the spectacular views help compensate for that!
Have the glorious task of unpacking our shipment that arrives tomorrow but after that, really looking forward to meeting some new people and getting out and about a bit.

Good day sir,   


I just went for holiday last 2015 in switzerland, and i really fell in love with that country. Its my dream to live and work their. I saw your message that seems you have a job to offer, Would you help me find job their. I am currently unemployed and broke due to pandemic. It will be a big help for me and my family if you will consider me. Hope to hear from you soon.thank you!

Good evening to the whole community, we are French and went to visit our son this summer in Switzerland who is doing his master's internship there. We were captivated by the landscapes, the way of life of the Swiss. We already knew a little about this country having lived in a French department bordering Switzerland a few years ago. I do not know if it is the Covid crisis that has happened there but in recent months we have had a click and wish to privilege our quality of life. We want to change our life, we are respectively 48 and 51 years old. Due to our age, do we have a chance to find a job in Switzerland? I know that a work permit must be obtained either by a promise of employment or by proof of a work contract. My husband works in elevators, he was also an electrician and we also ran businesses on behalf of French supermarkets. As far as I'm concerned, for 5 years since I left large-scale distribution, I became a nursery assistant with a diploma in early childhood. Here I am looking for leads, advice to find out which sites publish job offers. I read on a Swiss article, that it was necessary to go through recruitment firms, or networking. Maybe for my husband, but I don't think it works for me in early childhood. I would also like information on taxation how does it work in Switzerland? Is it in our interest to live in France and make the trips every day? Thank you in advance for all your advice, Good evening Odile

Hi Tracey,

How is your process of settling into Lausanne going? I moved here about 1 year ago from the US. So you speak French, or are learning? I'm learning French.  Would you like to meet up sometime for a coffee or tea, and maybe even practice French?

Hello all Recently moved here after a lifetime as a teacher. Love being able to walk out the door and be in nature/agricultural land on foot or by bike immediately. Now kicking back and looking about to see what are the opportunities for change. I look at the vineyards every day now and think back to when I was a grape picker as a teenager and, like the character in American Beauty, if I should embrace the change and ask my neighbour for a job! They say change is good so being patient and optimistic.
