Svitlana Shved

I’m Ukrainian citizen and living in Switzerland since 17 of March 2022. I’m prepared to start a new chapter in my life and integrate in Swiss society. For that it is important for me to become economically independent and find a job which makes good use of my skills and experience so I have a chance to become a valued member of society and pay my contribution

I have a Master’s degree diploma in “Management of Foreign Economic Activity” and an Advanced Diploma with awarding qualifications “Commodity Science and Expertise in Customs Affairs”. I graduated from Kharkiv State University of Food Technology and Trade. I have worked in the customs clearance department for 7-1/2 years at Kharkiv chamber of commerce and industry.

Now, as a translator, I help people from Ukraine communicate with government agencies, banks, doctors and other institutions in the city where I live.

My English level is B2. In addition to improving my English skills through ongoing classes in the American English Centre I am studying German in an integration school of Switzerland. Also, I’m taking free classes with volunteers. My native languages are Ukrainian and Russian.

Throughout previous roles I have developed an appreciation for complete confidentiality in all business matters. I am proud of my ability to build and maintain constructive working relationships with a diverse community. I have excellent management, communication and project skills. My experience consists of coordinating and completing custom clearance projects for long term contracts resulting in outstanding conditions and profitable outcomes.

I am very interested in finding a job in Switzerland and to be useful for Swiss society .
