Hello edunphy.
Welcome to Expat.com! 
I invite you to read these articles on Work/Labor markert in Switzerland.
You can post an advert in the Jobs in Zurich section as well. It could help.
Thank you,
Aurélie

French won't help much in Zurich - the local language is (Swiss) German. French is useful in the west of Switzerland (Lausanne, Geneva, ...).
If you don't speak German, I'ld advise you to try your luck at a firm or institution with a clear international view. Local or national firms will all ask for some knowledge of German and tend to prefer people who are fluent in German over those who are not.

Thanks Twan, but as I'm not a banker or IT person the choices at the international firms is extremely limited - but I appreciate the reply
