Base has been very good to me...if you get your GSM from the actual store, you can "register" it for free..and if you lose your phone or something, they'll give you another SIM with the same number for €10. So far I'm impressed with their service, ... Read More

English speaking jobs. by kezz

Hey all Is it possible to get English speaking jobs in Brussels, for someone who speaks no French/Dutch/German?.

Neal

The agencies are good, but they don't specialize in English speakers. So you're best bet is to contact companies directly. Pubs are swamped, BUT, the best people always get the jobs, right? Sometimes, it's about timing, and personality. Tho I do ... Read More
