Meet Anjali – From Rejected Applications to Dream Finance Role
Background:
Anjali, a qualified accountant from India, moved to Dubai with hopes of building a strong career in finance. But after months of applying online and facing rejections or no responses at all, she began to lose confidence.
How SwissConnect Helped:
After connecting with SwissConnect, Anjali was scheduled for a one-on-one consultation. The recruiter quickly spotted that her CV wasn’t optimized for UAE employers and that she was applying for roles misaligned with her strengths.
SwissConnect:
- Redesigned her CV and LinkedIn profile
- Matched her with an international bank looking for mid-level finance talent
- Prepped her for interviews with mock sessions and role-specific Q&A
Result:
Anjali landed a finance officer role in a multinational bank within 4 weeks—at a salary 40% higher than her previous job in India.
"SwissConnect didn’t just get me a job—they gave me back my confidence. They understood my strengths better than I did,” Anjali says.
Thomas’s Leap from Freelancer to Tech Lead
Background:
Thomas, a software developer from the UK, was freelancing remotely for companies in Europe but wanted to relocate to Dubai and take on a leadership role. Despite having solid experience, he struggled to land interviews due to lack of local presence.
How SwissConnect Helped:
SwissConnect understood that Thomas had leadership potential and experience in emerging tech (AI and machine learning). They:
- Marketed his profile to Dubai-based startups
- Positioned him as a Tech Lead instead of an individual contributor
- Advised him on relocation logistics, visa requirements, and salary benchmarks
Result:
Thomas joined a fast-growing healthtech startup as a Technical Lead, managing a 10-person team. He relocated to Dubai with full support and is now on a path to becoming CTO.
“I owe a lot to SwissConnect—they saw a future for me here before I did,” says Thomas.

SwissConnect treated her career break with empathy, not judgment. They:
- Highlighted her leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills
