So, to not keep this post too long I’d love to hear different experiences and perspectives on how the state of the job market is in Switzerland. I’ve finished two apprenticeships (Büroassistentin EBA + Kauffrau EFZ) and just got a certificate as HR-Assistant (HRSE - nationally recognized afaik). I’ve worked a year in HR during my apprentice days and also have worked 1 year after I finished my apprenticeship. I’ve been trying to get into an HR job since March 2024 but I couldn’t because I’ve been hearing the same thing over: “You don’t qualify”. So I thought “Okay, let’s qualify then”. I’ve now got my certificate and now I should be qualified for these type of jobs, the problem is now that my rejection letter folder is on the three digit and I don’t know what else to do. I’ve even tried applying for an internship and got rejected (?), now it raises the question: “What more do y’all want from me?” And not only that, it makes me question why did I even invest time and money into further education in HR, if I can’t even be doing that right now… Anyone got any tips, suggestions (other than “just keep looking” because that’s what I’m doing lol) and / or similar experiences with the job market right now? submitted by /u/amymad
