💡 What if your job search in Switzerland didn’t feel like guesswork?

Hi, I’m Pragati – an Indian expat, educator, former technology leader and founder of My Swiss Story.

When I moved to Switzerland in 2016, I arrived with more than a decade of global professional experience. I had skills. I had drive. But I quickly discovered that experience alone doesn’t mean you understand how a new job market works.

Cue frustration. Confusion. And quite a lot of figuring things out.

Over the years, through my own career journey and the hundreds of conversations we’ve had within the My Swiss Story community, I’ve learned a great deal about navigating professional life in Switzerland.

That’s why I created this guide.

💼 Your Swiss Job Search Playbook

This isn’t just another expat checklist.
This is a step-by-step guide for ambitious, skilled, and maybe-a-little-lost professionals like you.

“Pragati’s significant efforts in integrating into Switzerland and her passion for guiding others are evident throughout this book. She’s a superb guide on the subject, and we’re incredibly fortunate to benefit from her experience.” – Daniel Shalom, Founder and Managing Director – RigbyAG (Staffing and IT Services, Zurich)

  • Understand the Swiss job market (and what nobody tells you about it)
  • Decode permits and legalities without the migraine
  • “Swissify” your CV and cover letter to make it past automated filters
  • Build in-demand skills and get real about language learning
  • Master LinkedIn, personal branding, and networking the Swiss way
  • Prepare for interviews (even the tricky multilingual ones)
  • Prioritize your mental health (because job searching is hard)
  • Thrive after the offer – onboarding, culture shock, and long-term growth

“This isn’t just a guide -it’s a game-changer for every international professional aiming to break into the Swiss job market.” – Anisa Zafar, Author, Project Manager & Resilience Coach

And if you’re still wondering if this is for you, ask yourself:

Do you want to stop feeling invisible in your job search?
Do you want to stop second-guessing your CV or visa status?
Do you want a guide that doesn’t sugarcoat but empowers?

Then yes — this guide is for you.
