Five Real Cases: Americans Landing Jobs in Europe

I have been talking about working abroad in general terms. Now it is time to share the success. I have placed many clients in jobs across Europe, and I want to show you exactly how this works. In this session, I will present five real cases: the application strategies we used, the interview processes they went through, the offers they received, and how we handled work permits, visas, and relocation. These are not hypothetical scenarios. These are actual people who now work in Europe. I am very proud of these clients. Their success contributed to my winning the 2026 Top Coach Award in the Career and Leadership section on Leland. Each case demonstrates something different: different industries, different countries, different career stages. You will see what worked, what did not work, and what made the difference between an application that went nowhere and an offer that changed someone's life.
