CAREERS • GROWTH • REINVENTION
Your career doesn’t have to follow a straight line.
Careers change. Priorities shift. Sometimes we move countries, start again, outgrow a role or simply realise that what worked for us before doesn’t anymore.
Whether you’re looking for work in Switzerland, thinking about changing direction, building new skills or figuring out what comes next, My Swiss Story brings together practical resources, honest conversations and community support to help you move forward.

CHANGE DIRECTION
Sometimes growth means choosing a different path.
Career change doesn’t always begin with a grand plan.
Sometimes it’s a slow realisation that the work you once wanted no longer fits. Sometimes life changes – a move, parenthood, burnout, redundancy or shifting priorities – and work has to change with it. And sometimes you’re simply curious about what else might be possible.
Changing direction can feel daunting, especially when you’ve already invested years building experience, expertise and an identity around what you do.
But starting something new doesn’t mean starting from zero. You take your experience with you.
You are allowed to outgrow the version of success you once worked towards.
STORIES & CONVERSATIONS
Learn from people who’ve changed direction.
Honest stories and conversations about career change, starting again, transferable skills and building professional lives that don’t necessarily follow a straight line.
EVENTS & LEARNING
Figure out what might come next.
Join MSS conversations, workshops and learning experiences designed to help you reflect, explore new possibilities, build practical skills and turn your ideas into meaningful next steps.
KEEP GROWING
Your next career move doesn’t always have to be a new job.
Sometimes growth happens exactly where you are.
It can mean building a new skill, stepping into leadership, becoming more confident in your professional identity or simply becoming more intentional about where you want your career to go next.
At My Swiss Story, we believe careers are something we continue to shape – not something we figure out once.
LEARN

Practical learning around careers, technology, leadership and the changing world of work – to help you build relevant skills.
