      Job sites are more fragmented in europe meaning there usually is a site per country. You might want to be a bit mor precise from what country [countris] you are looking for a job.

        Point taken. I'm mainly interested in the following: Denmark Sweden Germany It's a pity there's not a decent aggregator like Indeed.com for EU.

        Google for deutsche arbeitsvermittlung, that should give you some leads.

        For Sweden there's http://platsbanken.arbetsformedlingen.se/ http://platsbanken.arbetsformedlingen.se/ which is the government's job listing site. Not sure if it's usable if you don't read Swedish, though.

Joining Special Interest Groups on LinkedIn and subscribing to a daily digest of activities is a very nice way for 'focussed' job-searching. Quite a few analytics jobs posted in the Business Intelligence group (which I'm a part of) were EU-based, at least over the last week or so. Give it a whirl. http://www.twitterjobsearch.com/ http://www.twitterjobsearch.com/ seemed interesting as well.

I read somewhere that at least 30% of all jobs ads in UK is fake ... I don't know if it's true or not ... How do you tell the difference between fake job ad and real thing?

  I've experienced the same thing in New Zealand, and more recently in Prague .. 'Place holder' advertisements created by recruiters just to get you into their database.

  Isn't Switzerland like the dullest, most boring country in the world?

    It must be because they're so neutral.

    Niccolò Machiavelli, who was a sort of Karl Rove of his day, though with more integrity, said of the Swiss that they were "the most free and most armed people" of Europe. Get it?

    Our share of foreign nationals accounts for about 22%. That is almost 10 times the share of foreigners in the Czech Republic and about double the amount of the USA. If a multicultural experience (four official languages) is boring, then you are right. Sorry, but Switzerland is a little bit more than just bankers, watches, chocolate and cheese.
