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. But for many of us, we've never had to network - so reaching out to people to find a job can be daunting. This session will focus on the very practical side of networking, from outreach, to the conversation itself, to following up. 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 Automation Industry

Some people assume automation is about software: algorithms, digital twins, remote monitoring dashboards. In practice, the industry is deeply physical. A robotic arm on a production line that welds the same joint ten thousand times a day with sub-millimeter repeatability. A programmable logic controller that keeps a bottling plant running in sequence, every second, without deviation. A motion control system precise enough to place a component on a circuit board at speeds a human hand could never match. These are tangible products; the factory floor does not forgive imprecision. I spent more than 10 years working with the automation industry as a supplier, with companies like Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Kuka among my key accounts. I understand what automation companies require from their partners and their people; I also know which skills are shifting fast right now because of AI. This Tuesday session covers the automation industry: one of the most technically rigorous, capital-intensive, and rapidly evolving sectors in industrial manufacturing. 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 sell or develop keeps the modern world running, this session is for you.

Land your Job or Study in ... Switzerland

Switzerland is not part of the EU. It does not have the largest job market in Europe. And it is, by most measures, one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in. None of that stops it from being one of the most attractive destinations on the continent for ambitious non-EU graduates and young professionals: it simply requires knowing what you are walking into. The country hosts the European or global headquarters of Nestlé, Novartis, Roche, ABB, UBS, Credit Suisse's successor operations, and dozens of precision engineering and medtech companies that most people outside Europe have never heard of. Salaries are the highest in Europe by a significant margin, which is the other side of the cost equation. ETH Zurich consistently ranks among the world's top ten universities. English is widely used in professional environments, particularly in Zurich and Geneva. This session covers the study path and the direct job path side by side: how the permit system works for non-EU nationals, what living in Zurich or Geneva actually costs, language realities across the four linguistic regions, and how to position yourself in a market that rewards precision, reliability, and depth over volume. Two real cases show how international candidates made it work. Switzerland is selective. It rewards those who come prepared. In this session, we lay out exactly what that means in practice. New episodes in this series cover a different European country every Thursday.

October Series - Creating a Career Plan (Session 2)

Jumping into the job search without a plan is like heading into battle without any armor or strategy. The most successful job seekers treat this step as building their strategy. It’s not just about knowing what you want, but also want you don't want. And how you’re going to avoid it. This means identifying what you’re looking for, what you’re not looking for, and assembling the tools and resources you’ll need along the way. The job search plan is the foundation for everything that follows. Without it, you’re likely to waste time on the wrong opportunities or get stuck in endless cycles of busywork. By taking the time to create a strategy and assemble your repertoire you give yourself the best chance of career success.

October Series - Crafting your Brand (Session 3)

We all know you can’t apply for jobs without a resume. While you technically can without a LinkedIn profile, it’s not advised. (Also, add a head shot...). Many job seekers try to fix things on the fly, but this approach is vague and leads to wasted time. Without a networking template, you’re flying blind, and without testing your materials, you’re stuck. Preparation means having your resume, LinkedIn, and networking materials ready before you start applying. It’s about making sure your documents are polished and your stories are clear. (Many people struggle with both). If you don’t prepare in advance, you’ll spend more time fixing mistakes and less time making real progress. Before you take off, make sure to run through your "pre-flight checklist."

Breaking Into German Companies: Your Strategic Career Journey

Think BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Siemens, SAP, Adidas, and BASF. These iconic German brands represent just the tip of the iceberg in America's business landscape. Behind these household names are remarkable success stories like Tom, who climbed from financial analyst to CFO at a major German automotive supplier, Amanda who rose to President of a German pharmaceutical subsidiary, and Judith who became SVP at a leading German engineering firm. What unites their journeys? They all grew through the ranks within German companies, embraced strategic expatriate assignments to Germany, and now enjoy entrepreneurial freedoms with seven-figure compensation packages that are rewarding both performance and loyalty. With 80% of German companies planning further US investments and new facilities being built across America, we're witnessing an unprecedented window of opportunity for young professionals. Beyond the famous brands everyone recognizes, there are 5,600 German subsidiaries operating in the US, each offering significant professional opportunities for those who understand how to navigate their unique culture. German companies share one critical characteristic that is setting them apart: they actively seek talented American personnel and they reward loyalty with clear advancement paths and substantial compensation. Their approach combines the German values of thoroughness, reliability, and systematic development with respect for individual achievement. What if this methodical, relationship-based path to leadership is exactly your calling?
