Hi. Could be quite difficult to get that job and the work permit (could be even more difficult... you need to find a job and then you or better your employer can apply for a work permit - don't work illegal here... if you are an EU-citizen it will be easier) I think you should start to learn German as soon as possible. I recommend you to apply to jobs as an English Language teacher - call these Language Schools and ask for a job. Usually its not possible to work as a tour guide because you need a special training for that in Switzerland (in Germany it would be easier to work a as a tour guide).
Language Schools: http://www.inlingua.ch/index.php?&city=5〈=EN&action=intro.view&id=6&tpl=default
http://www.berlitz.ch/en/default.html
http://www.tefl.com/jobs/search.html (just jobs in Germany)
or try http://www.google.ch Sprachschule=Language School and the city (Bern, Luzern, ZĂĽrich, Genf- you should write/apply them in German)
But in Genf=Geneva you have to speak French - you know???
And please read that before you do anything- its really important to know that!!!: http://www.bfm.admin.ch/bfm/en/home.html

The Link (Tom) to the German Auswärtiges Amt will not be so useful for you because its completely different in Switzerland...
As a foreigner you have to pay Quellensteuer=withholding tax which is quite high. http://www.taxation.ch/index.cfm/fuseaction/show/temp/default/path/1-538.htm

Might be interesting too: http://www.englishforum.ch/forum.php
Average wage depends on what you are doing here - Language Teacher don't earn so much...ask the schools...
Keep my fingers crossed for you.... |

No such thing as a job without fluency in German! Actually, the language spoken by the people in the North-western and North-eastern part of Switzerland is Alemanic, the same that is spoken in the Alsace (F) and in Baden (D). Otherwise, forget about your dream. I know, you won't like this, but you better accept how reality is. |

i would really recommend moving to Lucerne. I spent some time there over the summer and loved it. It wasn't too big for my tastes and there were plenty of tourists. It is in the German side, and if you get Rosetta Stone German you can learn to speak high German quickly. People will use High German when speaking to you and eventually you could learn to speak Swiss German. Can't help much on rent (I stayed outside of the City, on the other side of Pilatus) but it would certainly be a great place to live. |
