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?
@@michellevdg4708 Hey there, I have a video about what to consider when renting a place maybe it might be helpful for you to check this one out: ua-cam.com/video/Yku6LIwP-0k/v-deo.html
Even though I don't live in the Netherlands, I still enjoy watching and supporting your channel! You provide really great information!! Looking forward to your next upload!!
I’m so SO grateful for your support 🌟 I learn a lot from your channel too and I wish I was in the States because there aren’t a great deal of platforms to make investments here as there are in the States 😓😭
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.
Wohooo! Thank you! I finally figured out the settings on the M50. Ps. If you have tips about your camera settings or want to make a video about that please go ahead!
This was so helpful, thank you! I've been looking for a job so I can move to the Netherlands but I've been rejected from every job just because I'm not fluent in Dutch.
I am a BS PSychology bachelor holder, I am wondering how do I get a job in Netherlands? I really need to find one. I have a hard time looking through websites. I am from the Philippines.
The problem in INDEED is when you change the location to the Netherlands, you get everything in DUTCH, and cant understand a word. I would like to know, are there conten reviewers over there? It is like moderators for youtube, facebook, instagram, etc. I have 3 years of experience of that, and I am going to a warehouse :| . Hugz!
Hello Gulce, do you have a video explaining how to get a place to live in the netherlands? As someone who wants to go live there, my main concerns are getting a job and finding a place to stay at with my girlfirend. Thanks in advance!
Hey, in one of my earlier videos I'm giving some tips for if you want to rent a place here in the Netherlands. I think that can be helpful to watch. But, I think I'll have to also make an updated video in the coming days.
@@MakingitinHolland That would be great. With all thats happening in the world, some videos are outdated. As you must know, I cant really go live in a place if I dont have a place to stay!

Hi 👋🏼 Your videos are really helpful!!! Im from Portugal 🇵🇹 I am graduated and i have been working in a portuguese bank for about 7 years now, but i would like to move to The Netherlands and find a job and also learn the language. What advises can you give me? Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Americans here! We want to move. Do you have to have a job before you move or can we apply for a visa without? My husbands in Tech. I have my Bachelors in English Literature!
Hey there Taylor, I hope you’re doing well :) I think definitely finding a good position in tech should be relatively easy. There’s a lot of demand here and not enough qualified people. Regarding your situation , possibly you can look for opportunities in international schools and maybe even start your own independent business (for example teaching English or writing, etc.) If you have a particular question, feel free to reach out again.
I really don't like LinkedIn. The idea of anyone in the world seeing my academic history is extremely unnerving. It's like there's no such thing as privacy for job seekers anymore. 😔

@@MakingitinHolland Thanks for your reply! Can you please provide a list of jobs that are considered as high skilled jobs? And is work experience required to apply for visa? Or is it possible to get a job offer and visa with skills gained by self study and training?
@@MakingitinHolland Also is the work experience gained prior to study completion or experience gained while studies acceptable?

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.
This youtuber has an uncanny quality and ability, while her choice of subjects should be interesting. Yet somehow she makes her videos very boring, long, and unbearable.
@@praguhbis You're rude and will be blocked from the channel. This is not a place for negativity. And last time I checked you didn't have a thriving UA-cam channel yourself so how are you qualified to give advice?
Why are you so lazy moving to a country and not learning the language? My fiance moved here and within a few months she already had the basic skills enough for a simple conversation and thats highly appreciated by her company even though it was not a requirement when they asked her to move here from India. You are a shame and should shame yourself.
Thank you for your comment! You’ve assumed I don’t speak Dutch but I am fluent. This video was intended to help those who don’t speak it and are looking for jobs here.
Where did she say "don't learn the language", maybe get your ears checked. FYI she's fluent in Dutch (I know her personally) so shame on YOU for making assumptions and trying to make yourself look good when actually you look stupid AF now. 😂
Thank you for the support ❤️ You are right, I would never say not learn the language because that would be a silly thing to promote. 😃 But if I am misunderstood, not much to do about that. 😂
Dear Maikel, hope you understand not everyone speaks Dutch since it is outside the Netherlands not a popular language to learn. So quite normal that people first look for an English speaking job. I am sure that as an Expat plan to live longer period in the Netherlands they will and they must learn Dutch. But don’t say they are lazy!! Some even need to improve their English first before even starting learning Dutch!
What are some ways you've been looking for English-speaking jobs in the Netherlands? Let me know!
Retails shops and customer service jobs, but pretty tough because I'm not multilingual speaker. Still searching.
