I used to sit across the hiring table. Now I'm on your side.
First job and internship coaching for students, from someone who spent more than 15 years reviewing applications and making hiring decisions inside multinationals. Based in Vaud. Working globally in four languages.
The gap between where you are and where you want to be is not about talent. It is about direction.

The Challenge
Getting your first job is harder than it looks. And nobody prepared you for it.
01
Everyone wants experience. Nobody gives you your first chance.
The catch-22 of entry-level hiring is real. Applications go unanswered not because you lack ability, but because you have not yet learned how to present what you already have. That is a solvable problem.
02
AI is screening you out before a human ever sees your CV
Most large companies use automated screening tools that filter applications before any hiring manager reads them. Understanding how those systems work, and how to write a CV that gets through, is now a core job-seeking skill.
03
What gets you hired is rarely what you think it is.
Grades and a tidy CV are the bare minimum, not the deciding factor. Hiring managers are weighing things candidates rarely realise matter: how you frame your experience, what questions you ask, and whether you sound like someone who already understands the role. That is exactly the part nobody teaches you.
The Method
Structured process. Human at its core.
Genuine workforce preparation starts with understanding how your profile looks from the hiring side of the table, not how a CV template presents it.
Every session is built around your specific situation: your degree, your career aspirations, and the particular Swiss or international organisations you want to reach.
01
Discovery
We map your genuine strengths, the experiences you have that count more than you think, and the kind of first role that will actually set you up for the career you want.
02
Direction
We guide you through structured career exploration to identify the right internships, graduate programmes, or first roles for your profile, then build a realistic plan to reach them, including which companies to target and why.
03
Activation
CV written for first-time candidates, LinkedIn built from scratch, mock interview preparation, and a network strategy that works even when you are starting from zero.
04
Momentum
Accountability through the application process: following up, handling rejections without losing confidence, and knowing how to evaluate and negotiate your first offer.
Who This Is For
Right for you ifthis sounds familiar.
If you are the student or graduate

You want clarity on what is being worked on and what progress looks like at each stage
About Me
Not a career theorist. Someone who has hired people.
Over fifteen years as a senior manager inside Swiss multinationals, I reviewed applications, sat in selection panels, and made hiring decisions. I know what a first-time CV looks like from the other side of that desk, what kills an application before it reaches the interview stage, and what the real selection process looks like inside organisations in French-speaking and German-speaking Switzerland.

Common Questions
Things people ask before booking.
That is exactly the situation this coaching is built for. The goal is not to invent experience you do not have. It is to help you present what you already have in the way that hiring managers actually respond to. That includes your degree, projects, languages, any part-time work, and the skills you have built without realising their professional value.
Unlike a school guidance counsellor or university career centre, this coaching is one-to-one, built entirely around your specific profile, target roles, and timeline. It is not limited to the companies the centre has partnerships with, and it goes deeper than any group session can. The goal is not to process you through a system. It is to get you hired.
No honest coach can guarantee a hiring decision, since that always involves the employer too. What this coaching does guarantee is a stronger application, real interview practice, and a clear strategy instead of guesswork. Most clients see a real shift in response rates and interview confidence within the first few weeks.
This works at whatever pace suits you. The standard package runs for one month, with one session per week, and costs CHF 500 in total. If you would rather work session by session, \u00e0 la carte coaching is CHF 150 per hour. For a tight deadline, sessions can also focus entirely on one upcoming interview or application round.
A thirty-minute conversation covering where you currently are, what you are trying to achieve, what has and has not worked so far, and what a useful outcome would look like. No intake form, no homework, no preparation required. Just show up and talk.
