HireMeExpress Module 12: Negotiating Your Contract

Dear all, since so many of you are unemployed and underemployed, and because I still feel that we are very privileged in my family, I have decided to open our #HireMeExpress program to you.

Are you looking for a career opportunity in Zurich and still need help landing an interview? Do you have a work permit and a Swiss address but still need help getting people to call you back? It's not you; it's us.

With a highly competitive job market,
high language requirements,
strict certification regulations,
and a slightly perfectionist attitude...

...landing a job in #Zurich, Switzerland, or other European countries such as Germany can be a humbling experience for all candidates (no matter how great you are.)

You might search for jobs on #LinkedIn and apply with 101 other applicants (only to receive an automated robotic rejection message within one hour).
You apply to jobs where you know the brand.
You take time to adjust your resume, keyword optimize your profile, you follow all the tips you receive (and everyone gives you different advice.)
You end up humbled and confused, and you indeed wonder whether it was the right decision to move to Switzerland for love.

That is the straight path into the #ValleyOfTears.

What if I told you that...

🌎 Four (5) positions are sourced through "Vitamin B." (which is a short form of "Beziehung" = relationship in German) and never even posted officially.

👩‍🎤 Hiring managers prefer to hire "mini-me" versions of themselves, and there are unconscious biases against rainbow talent and lifestyle expats worldwide. Your experience, skills, and qualifications are often misunderstood and must be "translated" for a Swiss recruiter.

🇩🇪 English is not an official language here, and you can't learn German professionally in six months. (Just kidding, you know that.)

⭕ There is a "Circle of Trust", and you are not in it (Thank you, Robert de Niro, for the term.)

But don't worry—I've got you covered! You can learn all that and confidently enter the circle of trust.

👑 After years of working with expats in Zurich and the rest of the world, finding a job and getting successful through building professional networks, I consider myself the secret "Queen of Relationship-Building". 👑

💫 In this free guide, I spill all my secrets. These tips are based on our extensive experience in the Zurich and Basel job market and will help you navigate the job search process. 💫
