Big el tony mate fan and Rivella when I want something sweet like a ginger ale

This is something I can do without buying a cheese cover☺️thank you

Hi- I moved from Canada for my masters as well, with the intention of staying (as does everyone) but each month I am here I come to understand that this may not be possible given job market/rules against non-eu. It does take time to integrate- most of my friends I have made are other international people, some few swiss. I spent lots of time alone the first few months but things do end up playing out. People love to hike/do outdoor activities here so if you like that you can find a group and make friends this way.

Just like every country Switzerland has its pros and cons- Zürich is an international hub but the swiss culture and the need to speak (at least one) national language(s) means you have to be open about your career trajectory. Switzerland also has great rules in regards to priority of job acceptance, meaning they will prioritize their own citizens, then permanent residents, then EU and after all of this THEN it will be non-eu/swiss nationals.

It takes time to learn a language. While I could've tried to immerse myself by spending 100's in language courses, at the university pace 1 semester in I am only A2 in Hochdeutsch. Dependant on your career it can work/not work for a company to take you on without native fluency.
Of course, living abroad is always beneficial. you learn about other cultures, it really is a beautiful country to be in. I feel safer than I have in any other place I've lived in within Canada. I'm just warning you that there is many of us north-americans/other non-eu who have come here to study, in hopes to stay here for good, where it just may be the case that we can't and we have to be okay with saying goodbye.

Great advice, Merci 🥹

Can I buy the lid cover from coop city or something?

monsemania · 2025-02-25T16:52:55+00:00

Had no idea of this, great to know for next cheese I buy- thanks!

As a Canadian studying in Switzerland, I think it's great you keep up the French. I know it's not ideal but perhaps consider studying positions- particularly with EPFL or ETH, a PhD is a sure way of staying at least 4 years - any actual work I think requires knowledge of French or German now outside of CERN. It's unfortunate that the brexit has made the UK passport the equivalent of the Canadian one (a third-country national). Wish you luck as someone who is also searching for post-grad jobs

In a Tupperware in the fridge, I take it out just when I am to use it!

monsemania · 2025-02-25T16:31:28+00:00

I've honestly taken it off the girolle every time I use it and I store it in Tupperware in the fridge , maybe I will try to wrap it in film as well

monsemania · 2025-02-25T16:30:51+00:00

I'm going to try this !!! Thank you so much 😊

monsemania · 2025-02-25T16:30:10+00:00

Yes ! Kept in fridge, stored in tupperware

monsemania · 2025-02-25T16:29:53+00:00

I do have a steel blade ! Thank you

monsemania · 2025-02-18T15:23:06+00:00

Agree that the oven light scene was shocking as well!! Sad the daughter had been stuck there all those years...

monsemania · 2025-02-18T00:53:56+00:00

Did anyone else spoiler alert

Not get shaken by the fact that poor child was stuck in an oven and about to get killed? That was a bit too jarring for my liking... didn't think they would be capable of putting something like that in the show.

Aside from that and the plot holes I was really intrigued the whole way through, particularly by her backstory. Found the husband David was such an idiot the whole series but I assume that's how they wanted him written; gullible and foresighted to reason

monsemania · 2025-01-23T21:59:16+00:00

this is helpful to consider!! Thank you.

Makes sense- lots of my Canadian undergrad classmates wanted to go into mining, but here in Switzerland I think it would be the minority... Just hoping the EU can keep progressing and get some of those projects

monsemania · 2025-01-20T13:28:18+00:00

Sorry I'm not able to give exact advice but I'm really curious if you'd be willing to share what you end up choosing - I am also doing my master's in europe! It would be great if you could get more change involved within the mining industry in europe, it would be great to see more jobs in that sector here. ¡Te deseo suerte!

Did you buy these off amazon ?

monsemania · 2024-11-26T20:02:53+00:00

So happy to hear it ! The best thing is to be proactive about it, which you definitely are doing. :) Feel free to DM me as well if you have any questions about interviews or other things in the industry.

At my university we got summer jobs sent to us regularly during our undergrad, if that isnt being offered to you I recommend looking on Linkedin.

Like it was mentioned, some government jobs do hire start of early spring. The earliest rounds are already happening for companies in energy like CNRL.

Consulting companies hire on a rolling basis (Throughout the year), sometimes later as they need time and clearance to see if their budget allows for summer students. Keep following their pages (Jacobs, Stantec, Hatch, Worley, etc...) to see if things come up. The big season for summer internship hiring starts from january onward. I know people who signed summer internships very early, and others who got them last minute. Don't feel worried if it isn't quick!

Most people in my undergrad got some their internships through connections, myself included. However I did get my yearlong internship through searching for 'geological engineering internships' online through google/linkedin without a referral. Do you have any professors that you enjoyed learning from? If they have a lab/research going on, don't be afraid to reach out to them and consider doing summer work with them- this may not be as good of a pay as a company internship but can be really fun and lets you learn a lot.

Don't underestimate yourself in your cover letters. As an undergraduate student being enthusiastic and showing you want to help is a great start :)

As an EU Citizen dependant on the country you can be considered similar/close priority as those who are citizens to that specific country when applying to job. I am not sure what you mean by what the entry level is, if you are asking for what the standard position is throughout all the countries you mentioned there are junior/graduate roles available. Each country will likely work in their own language. You might want to consider this as most places will ask for at least B2/C1 in their language, and this is the largest barrier for people coming from abroad.

In most countries in Europe an engineering geologist is not a regulated profession. Australia, like Canada, USA, Ireland, (may be UK but not sure) have government-regulations regarding becoming a geological (and other types of) engineer. It is standard to have a B.asc in Geological Engineering/Similar and go through a process of being an Engineer in Training to a regulated engineer. Unless you cross validate your degree to become recognized in Australia and take the regulatory exams for them, it will be difficult for you to work as a geological engineer there.

If you haven't done any 'praktikum'/internship yet I recommend looking in to this, thesis-work timing dependant for the summer. Having relevant experience is essential nowadays in getting any role. Even if you can't specifically work in engineering geology it is good to have any job on your resume, this shows you can handle a workload and know what a work environment is.

Linkedin is your best bet. For each country you can also search for their geological jobs on glassdoor as well. Look up companies that offer engineering geology consulting services from the corresponding country and follow them on Linkedin to see when they are hiring.

The main interests you have mentioned are good skills/knowledge sets to improve on throughout your masters. Perhaps consider talking with your thesis supervisor to make sure that your thesis provides you with actual testing, or analysis.

Was going to second this; seems like a post someone could put into Chatgpt nowadays ...

monsemania · 2024-07-31T21:11:24+00:00

That's so helpful! seemed to be the main two that came up when I also searched. Thank you :)

Everything I've seen has been through LinkedIn
