My best advice on how to network for a job

Looking for a job? The Unwritten Rules of Job Search Networking

Most job seekers will find their next job through networking - 80-85% according to one recent article.

Join me for this 1 hour session to gain insight into how to get started with your job search networking and how to overcome the fears that hold people back.

Land Your Job or Study in ... The Netherlands

The Netherlands punches well above its weight. A country of 18 million people hosts the European headquarters of companies like ASML, Shell, Philips, Booking.com, Heineken, and IKEA. Rotterdam is home to the largest port in Europe. Amsterdam ranks among the continent's top financial and tech hubs. For a non-EU professional, this combination of scale, innovation, and openness is rare. The language barrier that slows people down in other European countries simply does not exist here. The Dutch are among the most proficient English speakers in the world outside of native-speaking countries. Most professional environments operate entirely in English. That removes one of the biggest obstacles non-EU candidates face elsewhere. This session covers the study path and the direct job path side by side: visa options, living costs in Amsterdam and beyond, the multicultural workplace culture that makes integration genuinely easier, and how to position yourself in a market that spans logistics, tech, finance, agriculture, and life sciences. Two real cases show how international candidates turned Dutch openness into a concrete career move. The Netherlands is one of the most welcoming labour markets in Europe. This Thursday, we show you how to use that to your advantage. New episodes in this series cover a different European country every Thursday.

3 AI Skills to Land Your Job in ... The Semiconductor Industry

Some people assume semiconductors are invisible: microscopic circuits, abstract specifications, products too small to see. In a sense, that is true. And yet the industry behind them is as physical as manufacturing gets. Cleanrooms where a single particle of dust is an unacceptable defect. Machines costing hundreds of millions of dollars, operated by teams with years of specialized training. Processes requiring a level of precision that makes most other industries look approximate. These are tangible products in the most demanding sense: you cannot hold a chip between your fingers the way you hold a seal or a grease, but the physical constraints that govern its production are absolute. I spent more than 10 years working with the semiconductor industry, familiar with its major players and their exacting requirements. There is something genuinely satisfying about contributing to miniaturization generation after generation: smartphones that fit in a pocket, supercomputers that keep accelerating, electronics that the modern world depends on without a second thought. You can be a substantial part of that evolution. This Tuesday session covers the semiconductor industry: one of the fastest-moving, most capital-intensive, and most precision-driven sectors on the planet. We will discuss three specific AI skills that are changing what hiring managers expect, and how you can demonstrate them before you walk into an interview. If you want a career where the tangible product you help create sets the pace for everything else, this session is for you.

Land Your Job or Study in ... Denmark

Denmark does not make much noise. It does not need to. Novo Nordisk alone accounts for roughly 4% of the entire Danish GDP. Vestas leads the world in wind energy. Danfoss sets the standard in industrial automation. These are not household names to most non-EU professionals, and that is precisely the point: the competition for roles here is lower than the quality of the companies would suggest. The labour market is tight and the skills shortage is real, which works in your favour. English is the default language in most professional environments. The workforce is genuinely multicultural, and Danish workplace culture is notably flat: titles matter less than contribution. This session covers both paths in: studying at world-class institutions like Copenhagen Business School and the Technical University of Denmark, and entering the job market directly. We go through visa options, the Danish approach to work-life integration, living costs, and what international candidates consistently get wrong in their applications. Two real cases show what a successful move to Denmark actually looks like. Denmark is smaller than its neighbours and more selective. This Thursday, we show you exactly how to qualify. New episodes in this series cover a different European country every Thursday.
