Networking Strategies

About

A live, practical session for newcomers to Switzerland and career shifters who want networking to actually move their career forward—whether you’re launching a venture or job hunting.

In Switzerland, progress runs on relationships. Smart networking accelerates entrepreneurship (partners, first clients, advisors) and job search (warm intros, referrals, insider info). It also builds the social circle that supports your growth, confidence, and integration.

What you’ll learn

• Map your network, on purpose: alumni, sector groups, employers, connectors, communities
• Engage before you ask: comments, micro-value, and reciprocity done right
• Referrals in the Swiss context: etiquette, timing, and how to make it easy to say “yes”

Who it’s for

Newcomers to Switzerland, displaced professionals, career changers, and early-stage founders who want a clear, culturally aware approach to building relationships that lead to opportunities.

Speaker: Hülya Kurt — Networking Strategist & Career Coach (Bevel ON)
