I am a month in belgium as a international student who really needs a job. I have made so many applications but if and when called they say i need Dutch. I dont understand why they call me in the first place and then say they really need dutch as my cv clearly shows u dont speak dutch yet.

Any legal job links will be highly appreciated.

thank you in advance

@Victoria93 on the flemmish side of the country it depends on which job you applied for but they are many opportunities for an english speaker as well on that side
