I’m a native English business professional with over 40 years of international experience. During my career I’ve lived and worked in the United States, Scotland and Belgium while doing business in all regions of the world. I have worked at all lèves of management and in addition to running a business for a private company have also owned and started two other businesses on my own.

I offer the opportunity for professionals to use me as a sounding board for their activities while simultaneously fine-tuning their use of English. I’ve been doing this activity for over ten years and can provide references on request. My clients have been diverse who work in the fields of law, medicine, science, government, manufacturing, services, etc. My diverse professional and educational background gives me the ability to converse on virtually any subject that my clients require.

I'm a Swiss citizen with a background in banking and wealth management, plus years of experience in recruiting. I've coached candidates specifically for job interviews in Germany and Switzerland — from the initial application all the way to a successful offer.

Unlike a typical language teacher or generic career coach, I understand both sides of the process: how hiring managers in the DACH region actually think and decide, which answers land well, and the typical blind spots international candidates miss — both linguistic and cultural.

What you can expect:

Tailored preparation for your specific interview (industry, role, company)
Realistic interview simulations with direct, honest feedback
Sharpening your self-presentation, body language, and answer strategy
Support with language nuances if German isn't your native language
Insight into cultural expectations in the German and Swiss job markets (punctuality, communication style, salary negotiation)

Whether you're applying to the DACH job market for the first time, or you've had several rejections and want to know what's actually missing — I'll help you show up convincingly when it counts.

Ich bin Schweizer Bürger mit Hintergrund im Banking und Wealth Management sowie langjähriger Erfahrung im Recruiting. Seit Jahren coache ich Kandidat/-innen gezielt auf Vorstellungsgespräche für Stellen in Deutschland und der Schweiz vor — von der ersten Bewerbung bis zum erfolgreichen Abschluss.

Anders als klassische Sprachlehrer oder allgemeine Karriereberater kenne ich beide Seiten des Prozesses: Ich weiss, wie Personalverantwortliche im DACH-Raum tatsächlich denken und entscheiden, welche Antworten überzeugen und welche typischen Stolpersteine internationale Bewerber übersehen — sprachlich wie kulturell.

Das erwartet dich:

Individuelle Vorbereitung auf dein konkretes Vorstellungsgespräch (Branche, Rolle, Unternehmen)
Simulation von echten Interviewsituationen mit direktem, ehrlichem Feedback
Optimierung deiner Selbstpräsentation, Körpersprache und Antwortstrategie
Unterstützung bei sprachlichen Feinheiten, falls Deutsch nicht deine Muttersprache ist
Einblick in kulturelle Erwartungen im deutschen und Schweizer Arbeitsmarkt (Pünktlichkeit, Kommunikationsstil, Gehaltsverhandlung)

Egal ob du dich zum ersten Mal auf dem DACH-Arbeitsmarkt bewirbst oder nach mehreren Absagen wissen willst, was wirklich fehlt — ich helfe dir, im entscheidenden Moment überzeugend aufzutreten.

Extra information for the student:

Sitzungen finden online statt (Zoom, Google Meet oder Microsoft Teams) — bitte für stabile Internetverbindung, funktionierendes Mikrofon/Kamera und ruhige Umgebung sorgen.
Bitte vor der ersten Sitzung die Stellenausschreibung (falls vorhanden), deinen Lebenslauf und das Datum des geplanten Interviews mitteilen.
Ideal ist mindestens 1 Woche Vorlauf vor einem echten Vorstellungsgespräch, um genug Zeit für Übung und Anpassung zu haben.
Bitte mindestens 24 Stunden im Voraus stornieren oder verschieben.
