I have been working on this topic for over 25 years. The core principles have remained the same: it is not the form that matters, but the content.

What appears to increase efficiency often leads to standardisation: application documents are becoming increasingly alike, and the individual voice is lost. In coaching, we look at this in practical terms \u2013 where AI adds value and where it does not. The goal is not to formulate faster, but to gain clarity.<\/p>\n<h2>Application coaching in Zurich \u2013 and online<\/h2>\n<p>In person at M\u00fchlebachstrasse 43 in Zurich (near Stadelhofen station) or online via MS Teams.<\/p>\n<h2>Find out more<\/h2>\n<p>A detailed overview of the service, the process and the general conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Application coaching offer (<a href=\"https:\/\/2026.karrierecoaching.ch\/en\/offer-application-coaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Application coaching offer (<a href=\"https:\/\/2026.karrierecoaching.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/3_2_1_career_coaching_for_individuals_offer_application_coaching-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PDF<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Your next step<\/h2>\n<p>In a free 15-minute introductory call, you will get to know how I work and can then decide whether this approach suits you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone +41 (0)76 223 97 88<\/strong> or via <a href=\"mailto:peternaef@2026.karrierecoaching.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">E-Mail<\/a>, WhatsApp or Threema.<\/p>\n<h2>Articles on application coaching (<a href=\"https:\/\/2026.karrierecoaching.ch\/en\/articles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all articles<\/a>)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/2026.karrierecoaching.ch\/en\/a-good-application-is-compressed-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A good application is compressed time<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/2026.karrierecoaching.ch\/en\/dont-fall-in-love-with-job-adverts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Don\u2019t fall in love with job adverts!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people apply too early \u2013 and to too many roles.
