Course description:
Applications come from advertising: The Application Bootcamp targets results-driven professionals and executives from creative industries, marketing, communications, and related fields who want to launch their application campaign within 3 weeks. In this course, you'll learn how to design a compelling advertising campaign — and apply those techniques directly to your job application. That means: you analyse your skills and your target group, conduct a market analysis, and develop a concept for your application campaign.
The implementation is largely self-directed: key visual, cover letter, CV, website, video, social media. Throughout the entire course, job seekers are supported by advertising professionals, designers, and HR specialists. The course runs for three weeks and takes place online.
The goal:
An authentic application campaign that stands out clearly from the crowd, speaks to both humans and machines, and creates lasting impact on the Swiss job market — all while respecting local application culture.
Target group
English-speaking job seekers who want to stand out with a compelling application or personal brand
Specialists and executives from the creative industry, marketing and communications, advertising, graphic design, IT, web and online marketing, photography, etc.
Motivated, creative people with a willingness to self-reflect
English-speaking foreign job seekers who have worked in international companies and want to integrate sustainably into Switzerland.
