Neither French nor Italian, German, Japanese or Chinese version. The only
thing I ever saw translated when using Cisco gear, was the Catalyst Express
500 Web interface and help, available in multiple languages. And Cisco
Network Assistant, too.

Well, when I was looking for a job in France (I was only CCNP at the time),
I remember having only one technical interview, out of 20 or 30 (that was in
2003-2004, and finding a job was hard at the time...), so I'm hardly
surprised. Besides, they might consider that since you're a CCIE, you know
your stuff better than they do!

You didn't tell us your nationality, but if you're not Swiss, maybe there's
discrimination when looking for a job there? (I don't know how the Swiss job
market works, that's just a genuine question.)
Also, perhaps they simply have no open positions? Many companies don't
bother to answer to every denied job application.

A bit odd that an email sent by "Tom" is signed by "Joe". ;)
Good luck in your research,
