You are in the right place, and I will tell you exactly how HireMeExpress will give you the tools, inspiration, and unparalleled support you need to find a job or gain another source of income in Zurich, Switzerland.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Career Program HireMeExpress
Do I have to be in Switzerland to participate in HireMeExpress?
You don’t have to live in Switzerland before you can benefit from this program’s value. If you plan to move to Switzerland, an ideal time to start this program is six months before moving. However, having a work permit through your spouse’s employer would be best. Contact us if you are not sure about the permit types.
Can I participate in the program?
Anyone looking for a means of earning income is suitable for the program. However, it is geared towards those who feel they have a more challenging time finding a job in the host country because of a lack of network and visibility. Everyone has different challenges. We noticed that female expats and rainbow talent often have a more challenging time in countries like Switzerland. If you are unsure, you can always call us for a meeting.
Do you guarantee I will get a job during the Expat Spouse Career Program HireMeExpress Zurich?
We can guarantee that our method and process are proven. However, committing to getting the most out of HireMeExpress would be best.
Can my Partner and I participate in the program?
Usually, it’s better if your partner focuses on their role and if they let you do the work required. However, we can discuss your situation in a call.
What if I feel I’m not a good fit for the program after buying?
If you buy the program, go through modules 1 and 2, and feel that you are not a good fit, we will refund your course cost if you show me that you’ve done the required work.
Do I need a work permit to participate in HireMeExpress?
Yes, it is highly recommended that you join this course only if you have a work permit for Switzerland (or the country you are targeting, such as Germany).
If you don’t have a work permit, we recommend consulting with an immigration specialist. We can connect you with them.
Do I need to speak German or Swiss German, or is English sufficient to find a job or an income in Zurich?
This is a role-specific question that we can only answer in the context of your role. However, many of our previous coaching clients do not speak German or Swiss German and are mainly fluent English speakers.
Which key success factors have previous participants highlighted?
They are accountable to a coach and a group and have concrete pointers to start their networking efforts. Another key success factor is the highly interactive work in the group and the strong personal commitment we bring to every single client.
How do I know if my certificates need to be recognized in Switzerland?
Check if your profession is regulated, and talk to us about your target role.
Still thinking about the Career Program HireMeExpress?
You should give HireMeExpress a 14-day risk-free shot if motivated by the following.
- You are worried you might not find a challenging and purposeful job in your host country.
- You underestimated the challenge of working in a language, not your mother tongue.
- You might have thought it would be easier to get online work opportunities in this day and age.
- You are looking for purpose and fulfillment.
- You did not expect that cultural adjustment would hit you that hard, and putting on weight, eating more, and drinking more alcohol doesn’t make you more attractive at this point in your life.
- You are convinced that once you have a clear day structure again, you can battle these signs of cultural adjustment and get back into shape.
- You are motivated by the energy you will have once you have started your work routine again.
Most importantly, you are motivated by having a good life in the new country with your partner. Your relationship will be more harmonious, and you will feel you are building a life vision together again. That’s why you are motivated beyond measure to invest the next few months in getting fit for this job market and simultaneously learning the host country’s language.
