Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Moving to Switzerland for love was the easy part.Finding work was something else entirely.When Jessica Manzano arrived in Switzerland in 2014, she brought years of professional experience, optimism, and the belief that a strong career could simply continue in a new country. Instead, she found herself navigating unfamiliar application expectations, silent rejections, cultural differences, and a job market that seemed to speak a language she had yet to learn.In From Love to LinkedIn, Jessica shares her honest journey from newcomer to established professional in one of the world's most structured job markets. Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical insights, she takes readers behind the scenes of what it really takes to build a career in Switzerland as an immigrant.Along the way, you'll discover: - How Swiss CVs, cover letters, certificates, and references differ from those in many other countries- The realities of networking, interviews, and professional culture in Switzerland- What recruiters, hiring managers, and employers actually look for- How the RAV and unemployment system work when a job ends- The impact of COVID, digital hiring, and AI-assisted recruitment on today's job search- Why local experience matters-and how to build it- How to adapt to a new professional environment without losing your identity, values, and confidencePart memoir, part practical guide, this book is for anyone who has ever started over in a new country, questioned their place in the job market, or wondered whether they could rebuild a career from the ground up.Whether you're planning a move to Switzerland, actively searching for work, or simply looking for reassurance that you're not alone in the process, Jessica's story offers both perspective and encouragement.Because building a career abroad isn't just about finding a job.It's about finding your place while staying true to yourself.
