What brought you to PageGroup? 

After my graduation as an engineer in the agribusiness with specialization in business development I decided to start my career abroad working in my sector. For personal reasons I decided to move back to Switzerland. Looking for a job I sent my CV to Page Personnel. I was invited for an interview in Lausanne and offered the position as a consultant in the division for Engineering and Technicians.

Consider if you could manage the resilience to sell a service more than a product. It is a great opportunity to stop working on the technical side and at the same time develop new personal skills.
