Senior professionals currently between jobs
Team leaders, directors, or expert contributors looking to move into a new company or industry
Seasoned expats who relocated months (or years) ago, and still don’t feel visible professionally
Managers with international corporate experience now having to navigate a shrinking job market

Experienced UN or NGO professionals seeking a pivot into the private or local sector

This program is for you if…

You’ve worked hard to build a career, but now, you're struggling to find your next role.
The roles you're qualified for are disappearing, relocating, or going to people with stronger local visibility.
You’ve sent dozens of applications and heard nothing back, and every silence chips away at your confidence.
You know you bring value, but struggle to explain it in a way that fits this market.
You feel like your past success no longer speaks for you, and you're tired of second-guessing your next move.
You’re invisible in a country where networking and self-promotion drive career advancements
You're overwhelmed by advice, articles, and templates, but what you really need is a structured path forward.
Deep down, you know this transition is a make-or-break moment. You're done waiting. You're ready to be seen and hired.

With Hired in Switzerland, you create real, lasting change:

Positioning that creates reach – Craft a clear and credible message that fits the Swiss market, so recruiters and hiring managers immediately see your relevance and value.
Tools that convert – Build a CV, LinkedIn profile, and interview strategy that are not just polished but specifically designed to attract attention and generate real opportunities.
Mindset that sustains progress – Move past doubt, impostor feelings, and overthinking, replacing them with calm confidence and the ability to act consistently.
Clarity and traction – Make strong decisions, create visibility in the right circles, and build momentum instead of losing energy chasing the wrong leads.
Support that lifts you up with a group of like-minded professionals – Work within a small, smart group of peers while benefiting from private coaching that keeps you accountable, encouraged, and strategically focused.

This program is intentionally kept small and selective. Each cohort is limited to 12 participants to ensure high-quality interaction, personalized coaching, and meaningful peer support.

Admission is based on application review. We look for professionals who are:

Experienced at mid to senior level
Ready to take action, not just explore options
Committed to engaging fully with the program and their peers
Holders of valid swiss work permits or EU passport holders (in line with Swiss employment regulations)

Not every application is accepted. This is to protect the quality of the group and make sure each participant benefits from a space of focus, trust, and accountability.

If your application is successful, you’ll be invited to a one-on-one conversation with Joanne Venouil, the coach and program founder. During this exchange, you’ll receive full access to the detailed curriculum, session calendar, participant expectations, and support structure, so you can make an informed and confident decision.

Joanne Venouil is a certified executive coach and career strategist with a background in international corporate environments and over 15 years of experience navigating complex, multicultural organizations.

Now based in Switzerland, she deeply understands what it means to be an expat in a new market, trying to maintain seniority, credibility, and clarity in the face of a shrinking job pool and rising competition.

Joanne has supported close to 100 clients globally, including CEOs, global heads, lawyers, directors in international organizations, heads of engineering, and IT team leaders. Her clients value her sharp strategic thinking, structured methods, and ability to challenge with empathy.

Her conviction is simple:
Life is too short to settle professionally.
Everyone deserves a career that brings purpose, growth, and energy , not just security.
