WORK IN ZURICH ALL YEAR ROUND

Please edit this section to tell travellers what kinds of short term work is available in Zurich all year round. Mention skills that are in demand here more than other places. For example, if you can get some work as a translator in Zurich but it is as hard as anywhere else, don't list it. If it's a region in China that cannot get enough English translators.... I think you get the idea.
