I think you will struggle if you dont know dutch language. Many dutch people know english, but to work and not knowing the language I think you will struggle. I dunno if anyone will hire you.....

That depends on where you're going and what kind of work you're looking for. In Amsterdam, you can work at Hard Rock Cafe without speaking a word of Dutch. Here in Groningen, I know one person that found a job at a shoe store when she spoke only basic Dutch.
