ABOUT ME

FASTER & BETTER. 
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT. 

MY STORY

After having careers both in Europe and North America, I arrived in Switzerland with a solid job search strategy that was already successfully tested on two continents. I was very positive that I would find a job very soon, nothing can go wrong.

 

However, my strategy failed in Switzerland. I felt alone, daunted, and disappointed.

Yet, I did not give up. I wanted to learn and find new ways to succeed again.

Despite many rejections and detours, I kept on refining and retesting my job search strategy based on my learnings about myself and the Swiss job market. 

 

Thanks to my perseverance, my dream came true. I successfully landed my desired job in a new country, in a new language, in a new industry, in a new role, at a Swiss company, but it took a lot more time and effort than what I had originally envisioned. 

 

While looking for a job I met other fellow women expats, and heard my own story back while listening to their job search challenges. That inspired me to collect all the strategies, resources and ideas that helped me and others, and share that knowledge with other expat women in Switzerland - You. Because you deserve to land your dream job too, do it on a fast track, have the knowledge, get hands-on support while feeling the real empowerment and inspiration from your guide.

Hi, my name is Agnes Pakozdi and here is my story.
