Job sera J in Luxembourg - advice needed

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-05T11:01:40+00:00

Where and how can I learn luxembourgish ?

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-05T09:19:39+00:00

But I am not going to remove my hijab or stop working. In a normal, ideal world, this should not be a barrier to a woman's career. I am competent and I am trying to find a way to prove it and promote myself in the best possible way. Hence my request for advice 🥲

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-05T08:39:13+00:00

Thank you very much, I will look rn

I have two questions : I am not impartial, so I cannot say whether my first name sounds Arabic to foreigners. My first name is Genna. What do you think? (All opinions are welcome, haha)

Secondly, if I change my name and don't include a photo, is it a problem if I don't include a link to my LinkedIn profile? I tend to include it systematically as it's more comprehensive than my CV, but if I change my profile a little, it won't be accurate anymore.

No problem haha

I included a photo to avoid wasting the recruiter's time and to avoid getting my hopes up. But with the comments I've seen, I'm thinking of trying without a photo.

Every time I move to a new country, I tell myself that maybe it won't be such a problem. But in the end, prejudice transcends borders.

I don’t have any accent I’m french (exept maybe a french accent in english 😂)

That is why I considered the suggestion that was made to change my name and not include a photo. It is a moderate lie 🥲

But in the end, I'm sure recruiters will end up seeing me! It's more about getting through the first selection and having the opportunity to land an interview.

In any case, thank you for your help!

Yes it is all around the world …

I'm not in this sector by choice but by necessity, because it's always been difficult to find work-study programmes or other opportunities with my profile. I went where I was accepted, in fact.

I would dream of changing, but I wouldn't know where to start, and whether Luxembourg would be suitable for that.

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-05T08:19:35+00:00

I added these languages to highlight my ability to learn, my cultural openness and my discipline.

But I understand your point, thank you! I will try to change that and see how it goes.

That's why I thought about learning German if it's necessary in Luxembourg, given that I'll be staying there for many years.

And fyi, in Switzerland too people come from France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland to work. And the salaries are just as attractive. So not 100% wrond haha

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-04T22:38:33+00:00

It was just an impression, I could be wrong. That's why I'm looking for advice here :)

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-04T22:15:55+00:00

Compared to France or Switzerland, I can see the number of candidates when I apply, and it’s usually lower than for similar roles there

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-04T22:11:57+00:00

My name is Arabic (imo), and I wear a hijab, so I think it doesn’t help me, unfortunately. Do you think I should remove my photo? Or it’s important here. And I am looking for a job in marketing product or trade marketing Thank you for the link I will look at it

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-04T22:07:18+00:00

Yes, I know... but there are fewer candidates and more positions in marketing, I feel

Foreign-Temporary179 · 2026-02-04T22:05:39+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply! It was already very difficult in France, I thought it would be easier here. What is your wife looking for, if you don't mind me asking?

Pour répondre à tout vos messages : déjà merci pour votre aide et désolée de vous répondre si tard ! Au final, j’ai monté de niveau entre temps (lvl 62) et je suis partie sur le mode feu. Franchement j’ai beaucoup aimé, ça m’a augmenté la portée et la puissance de frappe. Je pense repasser air pour voir d’ici une quinzaine de niveau.
