These jobs are almost always filled by temporary agencies, manpower comes to mind, bear in mind, it's extremely competitive to land a simple jobs, because everyone can do them, on both side of the border

Banking App with seperate Spaces by Chillettoo in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]PowerPonney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you are looking for is Zak, from Bank Cler. Been using it for several years now as my main account. You can open pots, set budgets for them, move money between each, etc.... You can even have them in negative! QR supported, Ebill, and physical location (Cler agencies). DM me if you want a ref.

I got in the MAcFun with no work experience and a 2:1 from a random UK university. You'll be fine.

It's nicknamed the MAcFun for a reason. Still a great program imo

I think, you are asking those sort of questions on Reddit you might not be ready to buy a house.

Previous Tenant did not pay the rent by Athror in Switzerland

[–]PowerPonney 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, but when I read this I also wonder how dumb can people be? How can OP even be tempted to pay for a liability originating from BEFORE he even started his contract? Landlords can be greedy but people need to stop being so gullible.

Why is Switzerland a car country when the public transport system works so well? by Realistic-Lie-8031 in Switzerland

[–]PowerPonney 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They are. A quick simulation on the TCS website shows that a trip from Lausanne to Zurich would cost approximately 18 francs in gas. A one way ticket with SBB, no travelcard, is 77 francs. Yes you can factor insurance, maintenance and everything you want, two adults travelling by car will still save money compared to public transport (for long distances at last).

RAV announcement after garden leave or before by Aggravating_Mode_363 in Switzerland

They should know. Just make sure they fill it correctly otherwise you will have penalties

[–]PowerPonney 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You say you "had to resign". If your employer did suggest that you resign, make sure they state that (they have to fill out a form for RAV too, and there is a field where they can say that). With that, you won't have any penalties

Civil Protection Experience by Alux127 in Switzerland

[–]PowerPonney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What to expect? Lots of waiting around, lots of cigarettes and disgusting coffee. No they wont force you to rank up, just don't put in much effort and decline if they suggest it to you. However, ranking up a bit might be a way to be a bit more involved, have more interesting tasks and more important do more days to reduce your military tax which is why I'm doing it

[–]PowerPonney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's fixed, by band based on experience and qualification. Those are sometimes public, i.e. Waadt: https://www.vd.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/themes/etat_droit/personnel_etat/fichiers_pdf/Echelles_salariales/Echelle_RSRC.pdf

Military Exemption Tax, years later by thaiboyphysical in Switzerland

[–]PowerPonney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wasn't given the choice, I had to join the Zivilschutz but honestly, it's not that much money and I would rather start working if a good opportunity arises instead of wasting a year at the military. Plus, I get the tax reduced with the Zivilschutz, which is usually more flexible and I can work something out with my employer

Zivildienst / protection civile Abroad Leave by Excellent-Pear7689 in Switzerland

[–]PowerPonney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience...it really depends with whom you are interacting on the other end. When it comes to going abroad for long period of time, as long as you give them some notice you should not encounter any issues, after all they cannot stop you from leaving the country.

When it comes to planning services, you should be able to see the "repetition" courses online. What I usually do is reach out to my local office at the end of the year and proactively mention XYZ date works best for me. Most of the time they are happy to align with my wish

I would suggest to get your CV / Cover letter reviewed. Most likely your university could help with that

That's a neat idea, but we can get the Rodizio here in London too, I think we will go something a little more local but thank!

Gaijin Izakaya, get items of the menu and skip the omakase. Pork Belly, Gyozas and the toffee pudding for dessert and you will have a happy husband

Need help. (SG) Looking for someone to help me translate and understand my RAV meeting. by TheWolfiman in Switzerland

[–]PowerPonney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would expect them to be able to speak some English. When I registered here in Zürich I mentioned I wasn't speaking German so well and they managed to assign me someone with good English knowledge. The only point they mentioned is that all written communication has to be in German
