Advice on working in Holland - Eindoven

greenplain

Hello,

I am looking for some advice. I will be moving to Eindhoven late next month. I am moving as the GF has been offered a good job for a 12 month contract, and my job is just about to go bust.

I do not speak Dutch. I have a degree in business studies and 6 years working in sales.

Since this is a 12 month contract, I dont mind working at anything.

where do i start looking for work ? is there specialized recruitment agencies for English speaking clients ?

any help would be great.

Hi Greenplain,

I have lived here nearly 2 years. I got a job within 1 week of moving here and like you was very worried about not speaking Dutch (still learning!)

With your qualifications I am pretty confident you will pick something up quickly! Most of my friends over the last year here who have changed jobs have found a new one within 1 week so as long as you are pro-active it will happen!

I found my job here: www.xpatjobs.nl but Randstad are also very good: http://www.randstad.nl and also try www.undutchables.nl

This one is in Dutch too but if you search for just 'english' you will also find English speaking jobs: http://www.monsterboard.nl

Although a lot of companies do need Dutch or another language there are certainly plenty needing just English.

If you have any other questions let me know!!! Veel Success!
