English is the international language

It is true that new laws have made it harder for a non-European to get hired in Switzerland, and yes, the employer must say why no Swiss person is suitable for the job. However, although it helps alot, I disagree that you NEED to know German/Swiss-German to get a job in Zurich. If you have good qualifications, many bigger companies will hire you if you speak English. I know a number of people living and working here for many years with no knowledge of German. Your best bet would be to get a company to give you a work visa before coming here.
