Hi, I’m Chiara Cokieng. I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines.
In 2018, I decided to move to Germany.
Like you, I've felt the struggle and frustration of job hunting abroad. Spending hours writing an application. Never hearing back. Getting on a call with HR. Then getting told I needed a work visa before they could hire me.
I needed a visa to get a job, but in order to get a visa, I needed a job…
I’ve never stepped foot in Germany. Didn’t speak German. Hardly knew anyone… Not just in Germany, but in Europe!
Thankfully, I found a job. I got it abroad from Manila using the skills I teach in this course.
And now I live and work in Berlin.
As an expat, I have many international friends who enrolled in a Master’s degree, hoping it will help them get a job here.
Some found jobs, but many are still looking.
Job hunting is a skill. It’s completely separate from actual job skills. Learning it dramatically increases the likelihood of getting a job abroad.
That’s why I created this course, to help people learn the skills to find a job in a new country.
This course builds on the lessons I’ve learned in the last 8 years. In this time, I’ve worked in 6 companies based out of 3 countries. I’ve held 4 different roles, each one better than the last.
In fact, I joke that job hunting is my best skill. (And job staying is my worst.)
If you're looking for a job in a new country, this course might be for you if:
You will learn a system for taking control of your job search. There are pages and pages of articles on the internet overwhelming us, telling us to network, to customize our application, to practice interviewing.
But how, exactly, do you do all that? In this course, we put it all together.
The result? Every day, you will know exactly what to do to get closer to the interview stage. And you will have the responses and the interview invites to show for it.
Session 1A: What to expect
Schedule, roadmap, and how to make the most of this cohort-based course.
Session 1B: The mindset that leads to job hunt success
Sure, you need a job. But hiring managers need new teammates and finding great people is tough. That’s why many employers even look abroad. How to think from their perspective, so you can communicate in a way that stands out from all other applicants, allowing you to build rapport more quickly and get interviews more easily.
Your ‘ultimate goal’ would be to generate as many interviews as possible in a two- to three-week period.
Session 1C: Project 100
The system that holds everything together. In brief, you'll aim to send personal outreach messages to 100 people. If you send five emails every weekday, you reach twenty-five people in one week and one hundred people in four.
Session 2: How do you find 100 people to talk to?
The four main ways I recommend are: Activate your network. Apply on job sites (the classic). People in those companies you might have a mutual connection or interest with. People in your target industry.
In the course, we'll get ultra specific. By the end of this unit, you will have your main 'categories' and a starter list of 20 people to reach out to.
Session 3: Advanced LinkedIn Search and Connect
Learn how to use boolean search and LinkedIn psychology to find the right people and study their profile, so you can connect in a way they can't ignore.
In a previous job, I designed a system for finding senior leaders in large companies, who knew nothing about me or my company, and getting them to do a one hour phone consultation with my client. All within 48 hours.
This was the job. And I was the best at it. I hired and trained my team, who all had no prior relevant experience, to do this. In this course, I’ll teach you all my secrets.
Session 4: How to use a Personal CRM
How to keep track of your contacts, emails, and call notes. You’ll learn how to organize your job search, so you can manage your time better and focus on the most important stuff.
The most important unit. We do stuff!
Session 5: Live demo
Advanced LinkedIn Search and Connect
Finding and connecting with people on LinkedIn.
Session 6: Live demo
The Call
So you’ve got a call scheduled. Now what the heck should you talk about? We cover every situation -- new contacts, friends you haven’t talked to in a while, friends of friends.
Session 7: Office Hours and Troubleshooting
We discuss your questions and answer them live. In case of no questions, they’ll be working sessions with your classmates.
Session 8: Office Hours and Troubleshooting
We discuss your questions and answer them live. In case of no questions, they’ll be working sessions with your classmates.
Note: Future units (not included in the pilot) will include HR Interviews, Technical Interviews, and advanced topics such as doing pre-interview projects, producing personalized videos, negotiating your offer, visas and country-specific issues, etc.

Job hunting is a skill, and Chiara has taken mine to the next level. I could not recommend a better person to teach you about this than Chiara.
She kept me on my toes every day and challenged me on so many levels that being and doing things better became a core part of who I am. She got my back every step of the way.
My sessions with Chiara were the highlights of my week — cathartic, motivating, and honest. I looked forward to sharing my progress, ups and downs to someone who was ready to listen, push my limiting beliefs & impart her own two cents for an additional unique perspective. If you want an honest and accountable coach (& friend) to help you in your journey, I highly recommend Chiara.
Take the course! I definitely recommend it. I discovered so many possibilities that I couldn’t even have imagined from just following LinkedIn ads and company websites. My opportunities arose from conversations where I was expecting one thing, and a different, unexpected possibility showed up. Sometimes, I would feel like it just wasn’t working. Don’t give up. The best opportunity I got didn’t even come from a call. Someone I reached out to recommended me to his boss. Follow the process, make it a routine, and things will happen.
Success with your job hunt is my #1 goal. And I want this decision to be 100% risk-free. If you decide the course didn't deliver on its promise for any reason, just let me know within 30 days and I'll refund your full payment, guilt-free. All I ask is for your feedback so I can improve the course for future students.
