Swiss Job Market Expedition: Navigating the Hidden Paths to Your Next Role

Global Mobility Career Orientation with Angela Weinberger

By Angie Weinberger Finding a job in Switzerland—or anywhere in Europe, for that matter—can often feel like standing at the foot of the Matterhorn looking up. It is majestic, desirable, and promising, but the path to the summit is steep, and the weather can change in an instant. If you are an international professional, an accompanying partner, or a “Global Nomad,” you might currently feel like you are knocking on heavy, closed wooden doors. You send out CVs into the digital void, receive automated rejections (if you are lucky enough to get a reply at all), and wonder if your skills have somehow evaporated since you crossed the border. I want you to know two things immediately: You are not […]

Five Steps to Overcome Your Cinderella Complex

Barbie

“Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel” and “Sissi” are my favorite holiday movies. I completely watched “Downton Abbey” this holiday season again, and like every woman, being treated like royalty is very high on my wish list. I was delighted that I received a king statue on Monday, 6 January 25, in my “Dreikönigskuchen” because I see that as a sign of luck for 2025, a sign that I will get over past challenges and stop working so hard for my income.

She described her journey with a deep need to be saved by a man, a knight in shining armor […]

My Red Couch Talk with Michael Sullivan

Michael Sullivan

Meet Michael, the charismatic host of ‘Where Are You From? A TCK Podcast’, where tales of cultural fusion and global adventures come to life. But Michael isn’t just your average podcaster; he’s a maverick storyteller with a passion for bridging divides. His debut book, “Building Bridges: Can We Love & Relate in a Polarized World?” isn’t just a memoir—it’s a symphony of human connection composed from his odyssey around the globe. Michael’s journey began when his parents whisked him and his sister off to Thailand at the tender age of seven. But that was just the prologue to a saga filled with daring escapades and heart-stopping twists. From serving in the Navy, where he sailed across oceans and explored far-flung […]

My five Global Mobility Predictions for 2026: Why the Human Touch Will Prevail

the expat experience weinberger angela

As we look toward 2026, I’ve been reflecting on the conversations I’ve had on the Red Couch, the stories shared during our RockMe retreats, and the shifting landscape of Global Mobility. We are at a pivot point. The last few years have been about reacting—to pandemics, to geopolitical shifts, to the explosion of generative AI. But my prediction for 2026 is that we will stop reacting and start intentionally redesigning. We are moving toward a world where technology handles the noise, but humans handle the nuance. Here are my five predictions for where our work is heading in 2026. 1 – Duty of care and security concerns will dominate our work For a long time, “Duty of Care” in Global […]
