Targeted job coaching leads to more success! Use the potential of a strong positioning. I’ll show you how!

Everyone, regardless of their career level, can benefit from targeted career positioning. I have seen the most success by coaching and consulting CEOs, executive board members, senior leaders and managers. Whether through Linkedin presence positioning, CVs and motivation letters or smart consulting on networking and job-search strategies.

Why your positioning is essential. Personal branding is still widely underestimated. I often wonder why senior executives or manager don’t invest more time in it before they hand in their notice, before they receive one or before relocating to Switzerland. Being prepared ahead of any potential time pressure or need is a real advantage. C-level and senior management roles are not abundant — not even in a small market like Switzerland.

So how do you position yourself effectively?
When you step out of your comfort zone with professionalism, authenticity, and the right mindset, you make a lasting impression on headhunters and recruiters. At the same time, you quietly open new doors within your existing network.

Position yourself strategically on Linkedin.
Stand out from the crowd professionally and goal oriented as a senior executive or manager. Create a compelling presence (profile, content marketing and networking) on Linkedin that leaves a strong and lasting impression. Over more than ten years I have trained and coached CEOs, executive board members, senior leaders and managers to build or refine a strategic, authentic Linkedin profiles. What exactly do headhunters and recruiters focus on? They search actively by using keywords, skills, job titles and signals of leadership impact.

Headhunters and recruiters are researching and networking on Linkedin 365 days a year.
Never underestimate that recruiters and headhunters thoroughly check candidates on search engines and other platforms and as well as on Linkedin. That is long before any interview takes place.

The first impression counts.
Your CV and motivation letter must evolve with current market conditions and specific role requirements. It is essential that you understand these realities and know exactly what headhunters and recruiters value most. Are you familiar with today’s expectations and the Swiss standard? The regional differences and industry-specific nuances? In recent years I have reviewed countless CVs and motivation letters. Many documents showing an unclear positioning, confusing structure, poor readability and missing critical information. Switzerland’s job market is small and highly networked. Personal connections and reputation play an enormous role.

Recent client success stories.
A member of the executive board of an international company secured a new role at one of Switzerland’s leading organizations within just three months after my coaching and consulting. Thanks to a strategic and goal oriented Linkedin strategy and presence. A former CEO built strategic connections with headhunters, which directly led to conversations and concrete job offers. On average, my clients triple their visibility on Linkedin within eight weeks.

Unsure how to truly stand out and convince?
Unfamiliar with the current application requirements in Switzerland, or the most effective job-search and networking strategies here? Many highly qualified executives and manager face the same challenges in Switzerland’s compact, competitive, and heavily networked job market. Rejections pile up despite strong credentials because applications often miss the mark on what headhunters, recruiters, and Swiss employers expect today.

The job market has shifted; securing a C-level or manager role has become more intense.
It can sometimes feel like a marathon. That is the reality in Switzerland right now. Most job seekers lack the in-depth knowledge and dedicated time needed to navigate it effectively. That’s why external coaches, consultants, and Linkedin coaches are valuable. They show you precisely how to approach it, from positioning and strategy to execution.
