      Indeed, jobs in this area are tough to find without knowing Dutch typically (assuming you don't speak Dutch but maybe you do!). I'm curious how your journey is going though, keep me updated! Best of luck :)

      I have a question could you please do a video on finding apartments? I found loads of apartments on pararius but I’ve heard you have to be careful with the payment or the extra payment for 1-3 months). When should I start looking for a place ? (Before I get a job there, or after?) - how to know a apartment is good or in bad condition or things to double check?

    Thank you for the tips! From where I'm standing, applying for English-speaking jobs in NL doesn't ask for extra searching skills, unless you're determined not to involve any Dutch in your life at all, except deciding where to work. Almost all non-small-size employers in Randstad don't require Dutch speaking. Some positions (e.g software developers, researchers e.t.c) are international in its very nature regardless of location. Meanwhile, nothing can help if you want to work in the medical sector without speaking Dutch reasonably well.

    Hi Gulce, really good video thanks. I've been looking and applying jobs for about two months. One of the tactics I used to save time and energy is to ask the contact person (when available) thru email, Inmail or Whatsapp message asking if they accept application from someone who will need visa support. 90%replies back. So I don't bother to apply if they say no. This save me time, energy and most importantly save my motivation because it's really tough to stay motivated while getting many rejections.

  • @dutchyjhome

    Here is another Dutch Perspective for ya: you'll have to make a decision: Do you want to be entirely on your own, and maybe get to know a few other expats, then by all means stick to English.
    Do you want to mingle with the Dutch, get a good taste of True Dutch culture, and leave those other expats for what they are for a brief moment? By all means learn Dutch. Even though the vast majority of the Dutch population speaks more or less English, it really is Dutch which is the native language of The Netherlands. Dutch it is and Dutch it will be.
    To the Dutch it is like this: OK you speak English, so you do not take the trouble to learn Dutch, so you must be temporary here and you must be on your way out soon. We (The Dutch) lost interest in this person.
    Or: Hey well so nice of this foreigner to learn Dutch, he or she respects this country and its inhabitants and this person obviously wants to mingle with us: let's invite this person into our lives!
    English is a foreign language to us Dutchies it is a way to talk to strangers whom want to stay stranger, or maybe to a person who really want's to learn Dutch but just arrived... Let there be no misconception about this: English is to talk to strangers and Dutch among friends! This is The Netherlands after all and our language is Dutch and absolutely not English, although to strangers we will talk English.
    By choosing English as a language, you choose to stay a foreigner ! And so doors stay closed for you! Doors that will open for you when you speak Dutch ;-)

      This is the way of Europe. In our countries we dont decide whether a person will be our friends based on how much of our home language they can speak. I know many expats who learned dutch but dont have dutch friends. I also have several Turkish friends who had dutch friends in their youth years but are not welcome anymore now that their school mates only socialise with their dutch friends. This is why the people use terms like alochtone and autochtone. A friend of mine is studying nursing and she says that her dutch classmates dont even want to do study groups with her and 50% of her dutch patients dont want her assistance because she is not dutch. Stop lying!! Of course not all dutch are like that but the discrimination is not based on language but where a person comes from.

    Dutch employers discriminates against Non-Native English speakers no matter how good your English is or what your degree is. They even say they need people with no accents (French, German, indu, African etc) only . Stop Glorifying Holland as an equal opportunity country & give people false hopes.

      I would say not every company in the Netherlands work that way. There are a lot of foreign multinational companies here and their required language is English and are equal opportunity employers. So it doesn't matter what your accent is as long as you can sufficiently communicate in English.
