Note it's very difficult for a non-EU job applicant to get a permit to work in Switzerland. Many HR depts will not even attempt it as it requires a lot of paperwork to apply to the canton and approval is subject to very restrictive quarterly quotas. Given there's a pool of half a billion EU citizens eligible to apply for Swiss jobs without such barriers, I've been told by a few different people in HR that they generally just discard the non-EU résumés.
