This isn\u2019t a catchy slogan, it’s a survival strategy.

At the beginning of this year, a client wrote to me: \u201cI\u2019m reaching out because I\u2019m looking for a job and facing the same difficulties as last year: my CV just doesn\u2019t get me any interviews.\u201d That message stayed with me. She is far from being the only one in this situation, and it inspired me to write this article. The answer I gave her, I realised, could be useful for our whole community.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent three decades accompanying executives and specialists through restructurings, outplacement, and career transitions. I\u2019ve seen the so\u2011called \u201c<\/span>Golden Age\u201d of recruitment and I\u2019m now watching the \u201c<\/span>Digital Age\u201d: a more complex and challenging environment where visibility and positioning matter more than how many jobs you apply for.<\/span><\/p>\n

If I were looking for a role<\/a> today in the Swiss market, I would not spend a single minute shouting into the \u201ceasy apply\u201d void.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default” css=”.vc_custom_1769880096717{margin-top: 50px !important;}”]\n
