About

I was once in the same situation as you. I was trying to find success in the German job market from half a world away, by myself. Hours spent in university German classes and private lessons…turned out that I wasn’t prepared for a job interview.

After months of hardly any progress, I decided to enroll in the fall program of 2021 for Immigrant Spirit. I knew I needed a chance for an interview so I could express my skills. Before the program, I got only a few interviews – but not with hiring managers. Then within a few weeks of joining the “Expats Job Miracle”, I was already speaking directly to hiring managers. Three months later, I had the job offer I was searching for. 

You cannot underestimate the importance of speaking to the RIGHT people. People who deeply understand the role that you want, and who can listen to your specific fit, based on your recent experience. But the key is knowing how to find the right person to approach. Who are these people? Where do you find them, and how do you make the approach in such a competitive job market? You will discover how this is possible before losing time making an application to the HR department. 

27% of hires last year in Germany came from personal contacts or referrals. That is the highest hiring method in Germany, every single year (IAB). In fact, most hires across many countries come from personal contacts and referrals. But a lot of people reach out to potential colleagues and ask for referrals these days. The wrong referral can either be weak or doesn’t hold as much weight as one from the hiring team. I will show you how to get in touch with the hiring team, so your potential referral can be the strongest one possible. 

“Ghosting” from HR departments is on the rise. Sometimes, a job post isn’t even real. Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds on a CV before making a decision, and AI filters are used for up to 75% of rejections. You need to get out of this costly spiral.

One takeaway from the program for me, was the truth to the quote: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.” 

You have to try something different. 

Fast forward to searching for my second job in Germany, I knew to draw on the blueprint that worked for me before. Then a conversation with a mentor turned into the opportunity to lead Immigrant Spirit… the program I had followed which gave me my current life. 

So I decided to focus my full-time and resources into this. Giving back and guiding is what I find meaningful at this time. Now i’m inviting you to allow me to take the lead.

I would be thrilled to hear your story, and hopefully we can work together to create a similar progression for you.
