It's off to work we go…

A lucky few living life as expatriates don't need income from employment, others have "done their time" in the job market and are free to enjoy retirement, but many people need jobs to pay the bills. Finding work can be one of the most complicated – and at times disheartening – aspects of living life in Holland. 

Finding a job

If you're an EU citizen you don't need a work permit to work in Holland. However, there are many other issues to consider. Take a look at the INFOrmation Pages compiled from the EU's own data on Working in the Netherlands which includes information on how to make an application, structuring a CV and Dutch job contracts.

Non-EU citizens have a more complicated time and will need to have residency status; you can start by reading up on the requirements for a Residence Permit.

If you have been made redundant and are now unemployed, you can browse The AngloFILE category Recruitment & Employment Agencies for an organisation that may be able to help you get back into the work force.

Finally, if you're looking for a job, you might want to post a message to the Jobs Wanted section of The AngloINFO Forum, and keep a close eye on Jobs Offered category to see if there's anything that suits you.
