01 / HOW I CAN HELP
Good work starts
with the right direction.
From the first application to the next conversation, we focus on the support you need. We can work on one specific question or connect these areas into a wider job search plan.
01
CV & LinkedIn
Make your experience easy to understand.
Get specific feedback on your CV and LinkedIn profile. We’ll improve the structure, wording and focus for the roles you want, with attention to local expectations and applicant tracking systems.
Identify roles and employers that fit your experience and priorities. We’ll explore specialist companies, niche roles and opportunities you may not have considered, whether you’re moving to DACH or already here.
Identify relevant local recruiters and headhunters, then plan your outreach. Where there is a fit, we can also explore potential employers and opportunities within my personal network.
Learn where to find relevant events and communities, particularly around startups, scaleups and venture capital. We’ll consider which ones fit your goals and how to introduce yourself and follow up.
Practise explaining your experience and handling interview questions with clear examples. We’ll also discuss salary expectations for your target role and location, and how to approach that conversation.

02 / MY BACKGROUND
Hello, I’m Elene.
I’m a native German speaker based in Zurich, with a background in software engineering and first-hand experience of the Swiss and German tech markets.
My experience spans software teams in Switzerland, engineering internships at Google and a working-student role at SAP. I’ve also worked at the Swiss technology job platform itjobs.ch. That perspective informs how I help international professionals present their experience and approach their search in DACH.
We start with your circumstances, your goals and the kind of work you want to do. Then we turn that conversation into focused applications, relevant contacts and practical next steps.
