Curious about launching an international career but don't know where to start? Wondering whether European, Asian, or other multinational companies offer better opportunities than traditional US corporations? Join me for bi-weekly office hours where no question is off limits. As someone who navigated from engineering graduate to CEO across three countries and 25 years of international business, I'm here to provide honest, practical guidance on everything from selecting your first international employer to preparing for overseas assignments to building the cultural intelligence that sets global leaders apart. This open forum builds on insights from "Graduate to General Manager in 10 Years" while expanding to cover the full spectrum of international career paths. Whether you're considering German engineering precision, French relationship-based business culture, British diplomatic communication styles, or opportunities in Asia and beyond, bring your specific questions and get actionable advice. I encourage you to submit questions beforehand, though spontaneous discussions are equally welcome. Each session will be addressing real challenges facing graduates and young professionals as they navigate the complexities of global careers.

Jörn has helped clients get into these companies:

Started my career with my first job abroad - best decision ever! Now I help recent grads and young professionals land their first international roles. From resumes to visas, let's get you hired! Ready to launch your career abroad or with a foreign company? I know exactly what it takes. I started my own career by landing my first job in a foreign country and different language, an experience that shaped everything that followed and led to 25 years of international leadership across American, German, and French corporations. Whether you're targeting foreign owned companies in the US or opportunities directly abroad, I specialize in helping recent graduates and young professionals navigate the practical challenges of international job hunting. Together, we'll identify your transferable skills, decode job postings across different markets, navigate visa and legal requirements, and assess when language skills become crucial versus nice to have. My coaching focuses on the real world essentials: translating your university projects into globally relevant experience, understanding how American directness plays in German precision focused interviews, adapting your resume format for different markets, and positioning yourself as the ideal candidate who brings fresh perspective to established international teams. From virtual interviews across time zones to understanding work authorization processes, I've guided dozens of twenty somethings through successful international job searches. Having mentored young professionals who've landed roles at top global companies, I know which concerns keep early career job seekers up at night, and we'll tackle them head on. That first international opportunity changed my entire career trajectory. Let's make sure it does the same thing for yours. Industries I have served: Automotive, chemical, bearing, wood, food, marine, oil & gas, steel, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, mining, pulp & paper, textile, rail and wind power.
