CAREER WITHOUT BORDERS 🌍🛤️

🌍📈 International careers are not linear — they require courage, support and strong networks.

Together with Frau in der Wirtschaft, we at Expat Service Vorarlberg hosted an inspiring Business Talk about international careers, opportunities and real-life experiences.

The event brought together expats, locals and business representatives — creating space for exchange 💬, new perspectives 👀 and strong connections 🤝.

Three remarkable women — Ghazaleh Bahrami, Marina Ivanova, Valentina Müller Frizza — shared their journeys of rebuilding their professional paths in Austria.

Beyond the individual stories, one message stood out clearly.
Even highly qualified professionals face real challenges when starting over in a new country:
• Language barriers 🇩🇪
• Recognition of qualifications 📜
• Finding roles that match their expertise 💼
• Building new professional and social networks 🤝

Starting over abroad is not only a professional challenge — it is also a personal journey of self-discovery, identity and belonging 🪢🧩.

At the same time, the discussion highlighted the immense value international talent brings to our region: expertise, intercultural competence, innovation and fresh perspectives 💡.

A big thank you to Frau in der Wirtschaft for the collaboration and to the speakers for sharing their stories. It was a truly inspiring and powerful morning 🙏💪

Careers have no borders — especially when we build bridges together 🚀
