Why am I not getting interviews?

Clarity on Direction. Market-Fit Positioning. Search Strategy. Interview Preparation.

How we partner

Your career story is not your past. It’s about what’s next.

Tailored, hands-on, and co-created. Technical skills get you interviews; human skills, resilience, Vitamin Beziehung, and a de-risked application get you offers.

Asking yourself “What am I missing? What’s in my way?” That’s exactly where we start.

Who this is for
  • Ready for the next move or a promotion
  • Actively searching, stuck
  • Considering a pivot, consulting, or a business
  • Returning from a layoff or a career break
  • New to Switzerland or Zug
How it works

Clarity. Communication. Community. Confidence.

An outcome-driven approach, so you get back in motion with new energy, confidence, and support. Uniquely offering strategy, communications, leadership development and stress management support expertise. Interview presence draws on the Performance Under Pressure approach.

The direction and role title that actually excite you.

Common questions

Your questions, answered.

How is Career Accelerator different from RAV or outplacement programs?

Outplacement and RAV seminars run one process for a group. When you’re stuck, you want to get back in motion. That’s why programs are built on outcomes over a condensed time. You become a priority in my schedule to move materials and connections, so you’re testing your next move and seeing results. Catherine is a RAV-supported coach and has led RAV-sponsored career workshops.

How long does Career Accelerator take?

Most clients work in 4 to 8 weeks. It’s about delivering value, not hours: leadership and communication skills development is the focus. After the initial program, you can schedule appointments as needed, including during your first 90 days.

I’m new to Switzerland or Zug. Does this still apply to me?

Yes. Whether you’re new internationally or just changing cantons, learning the Swiss rules and addressing Vitamin Beziehung is a critical part of the work.
