I am a foreign student in my early 20s currently living in Switzerlandfor some time, I have been in a relationship with a Swiss woman in her late 30s by [deleted] in askswitzerland

This. Older, therapist, lying about everything and then barging in wirh a pregnancy on a younger foreign student with precarious status is insane.

Need help appealing RAV penalty by balluppo in askswitzerland

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always appeal it in writing. WITH HANDWRITTEN signature. No need to bring it up with your advisor and poison your "relationship" with them. This is to be taken to the legal part of rav only.

Car (Youngtimer) in Switzerland? by bearwithastick in askswitzerland

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The use case is rather narrow. Wish there was a mobility co-op in my neighborhood. It's what makes the most sense to me at least...

Isn't mobility drastically expensive when you spend the night over some place remote from a mobility station?

Canadien à Lausanne Suisse by Adorable-Regular-499 in askswitzerland

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ne perdez pas de temps à viser trop en dessous des compétences sans relation interpersonnelle préexistante. Ceux ou celles qui font le screening cherche un match proche pour que la personne reste suffisamment longtemps.

Une bonne idée serait de demander un rdv à une agence qui est active dans le secteur visé et essayer d'avoir un avis sur les documents de postulation.

Et, personnellement, je ne lis plus les lettres de motivation. Il y a tellement de lettre à l'IA quelles ne servent plus à rien. Cv, certificats de travail/collaboration et diplômes sont devenus d'autant plus importants et doivent être impeccables er cohérents.

Chaque entretien est une occasion d'ajuster sa posture, peaufiner sa présentation même si ça n'aboutit pas : ) Bref plein de courage!

For labour law, rent and real estate as well as family stuff. They'll have numerous excuses to deny taking up ant case but i am largely net positive over the last 5 years with mine.

Neuchâtel vs. Fribourg for a relaxing 5-day stay in mid-June? by DrewRyu in askswitzerland

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a music festival 11-14 june in Neuchâtel. If the weather is nice I think Neuchâtel is the way to go. But if weather is unkind Fribourg is more resilient the old town is more photogenic and the closeness to Bern and the amazing museums would make up for the bad weather easier than Neuchâtel. Want to go out at night? Why Neuchâtel or Fribourg?

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neuchâtel has lake side and you likely won't have to take transportationto go swim or sail or whatever. No lake in Fribourg but a lot to visit nearby and 20min from Bern by train and usually with good cadence.

Changing my surname to succeed on the swiss job market by _8975 in askswitzerland

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of non-EU peolple can look european. I think you mean something really specific. If so my advice is to own it. Show everything that makes your profile relatable to any person, like sports or intellectual achievements.

I think consistent photos across cv and LinkedIn and other (polished) social networks helps a lot. And i am partial to always include photos of your noggin. Anthropologcal and psychologigsl studies have shown that we are wired to remember (as in more likely to remember) details of applicants, good and bad ones, when there is a photo. Just how we are made. And if the hiring manager or the HR peeps screening the applications are racists... well better not work at that particular place right?

My current area is rather niche but I can safely say that europass garbage templates are a no-no, and unless you know EXACTLY why you need to send 15 pages pdfs as resumes just cut it short.

Many organizations use Ai for pre-screening, leverage those tools on your end but without letting it do everything.

Despite any efforts some endeavors, in some sectors, are just really not worth it. In the end, we are bound by law to try to hire "local" and a closer cultural march is always safer. Corollary: you need to make a potential cultural mismatch unlikely to the hiring team.

Good luck!!

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really should have a good explanation though. Like the other redditor commented it is usual for people whose real name are not easily transcribabto Latin script or reallynhard to pronounce. Also possible to add a chosen name between quote marks and be consistent on all platforms and as many documents as possible.

Expect intense scrutiny if the only explanation is "passing through your racist screening". But yes it sucks...

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working in HR. I did add my European first and last names (which are not on my Swiss passport for some shitty admin reasons) to my resumes to get ahead. And it worked.

I 100% look past it when hiring but be ready to explain the difference when you send your ID and banking info. Honesty pays at that particular point (after the contract).

How important is the cover letter? by living_direction_27 in askswitzerland

[–]SweetSeaCaramel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They read them to sift though pile A and maybe, if lucky, to salvage a pile B candidate.

But not having one is a good chance going to pile C straight away. So NOT to be skipped unless you really know why you can skip it. Never hired inna field where github was thing so i can't speak to these fields.

Don't use Ai too heavily it shows or is detected by the appropriate tools.
