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 winter 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 decision makers & 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 are going for, and who can listen to your specific fit, based on your recent experience. But how do you get in contact with these people, when you have no idea about the market and network connections? Who even 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 wasting your time making an application to the HR department. 

37% of hires in Germany last year came from referrals. That method is the highest in Germany, every single year. The ghosting and rejection rates from HR departments are shockingly high. 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 was what I decided to be 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.
