I finally got an offer! It was one my first calls. I think the CPO and I vibed, so he told me he’ll get back to me when he has a position for me. 2 months later, he reached out again, then I did a fast-tracked version of the application process.

3 Problems Unique to Immigrant Job Seekers in Germany
When you’re job searching in your home country, you usually don’t need a system — you just apply online, and it works.
But as an immigrant in Germany, three unique challenges prevent you from even getting interviews.
- It’s hard to find jobs that don’t require German.
- Your applications just get ignored — Without experience or contacts in Germany, the odds are stacked against you, and you feel like you’re at the bottom of the hiring totem pole.
- At home, job searching is straightforward – you apply online, and it works. But in a new country, it’s a different game. A harder game. Much harder. Without a system, you’re left guessing what’s going wrong and just hoping something works.
It feels like you haven’t even gotten started, yet you’re already stuck.
I know exactly how that feels. When I wanted to move to Germany in 2019, I faced these same challenges. So I built a system to solve them – and it worked.
Introducing Project 100:
A Proven 6-Stage Job Search System
Project 100 is a structured, relationships-based job search strategy that balances both quantity and quality — reach out to 100 people, follow a 6-stage system, and diagnose exactly where things break down.
Even when things don’t go as planned, you’ll know exactly why — and how to fix it.
- Not getting responses? It’s likely your LinkedIn profile, outreach message, or who you’re contacting.
- Not getting warm referrals? It could be your call approach or there are simply no openings right now — so you stay patient and keep building relationships.
- By identifying where you’re stuck, you solve the right problem — instead of feeling like nobody wants to hire you.
The result? You’ll uncover hidden jobs, get noticed by the right people, and finally land interviews – all without having an identity crisis every other day from endless cold rejections.
meet your personal trainer for job searching
Hi, I’m Chiara Cokieng, a Filipino living in Berlin
In October 2019, I wanted to move to Germany.
I didn’t speak German and I didn’t know anyone in Europe.
By April 2020, I had a job offer from a German company.
But I didn’t just get lucky… I used a structured system to make it happen.
I reviewed my LinkedIn connections and identified 100 people across different circles – 20 UP alumni (my alma matter), 20 former colleagues, 20 Filipino tech people, and 20 product leaders in Hamburg and Berlin. I messaged each person, simply asking for advice.
That’s how I got my offer: through a connection made by my former manager who lives in Savannah, Georgia. He met the hiring manager — who now lives in Cologne, Germany — when they both lived in China in 2012.
I call this system “Project 100” and I’ve been honing it for 12 years. I’ve used it to land 7 jobs, make 5 career changes, and work in 3 foreign countries (Germany, Hungary, and the U.S.)
Now I help others do the same.
Think of me as your personal trainer for job searching:
- You need a structured plan that works – no more random acts of job searching
- You need to learn the right techniques – knowing what to do and how to do it
- You need to adjust for real-world challenges – because things never go exactly as planned
Job searching is one of the most difficult things we do as knowledge workers. Doing it as an immigrant in a new country? It’s brutal.
But with a good plan and the right support, you can land a job in Germany. Many people have done it before you. If they can do it, you can do it too.
Even if your German is still A0…
It’s possible, and I can help you do it.
you’re still here? Let’s do this!
Here’s how to get started:
1
Book a call with me.
We’ll talk about your job search – what job you’re targeting, what you’re already doing, and where you’re struggling.
2
I’ll show you exactly how we’d approach it if you were my client.
I aim to be pragmatic and actionable, so you can take action and get results, even if you decide not to work with me.
3
We’ll discuss the program & answer your questions.
If we both think it’s a good fit, we’ll talk about what working together looks like.

Chiara was amazing to talk to on the first call we had. She had well thought-out ideas and plans which were backed by results from her experiences in the past. I would highly recommend seeking her advice for getting jobs in Germany.
