Hi everyone,

I'm about to move to the Netherlands. I don't speak Dutch (although I understand everything when I hear a conversation), but I'm fluent in English and Spanish.

Do you know any websites or agencies where I can look for English speaking jobs in the Netherlands? Cause I don't even know how to start.

Is it possible to get a full time job (any kind of job, being fluent in English and Spanish) in the first months of my stay in the Netherlands, that allows me to survive and pay my bills till I learn Dutch properly and get a better job? I have savings for 4 months.

Some people living in the Netherlands say it's imposible to get any kind of job to survive the first months without Dutch. Others say it's possible to get a job with English and survive till learning Dutch. So, due to this contradictory information, I'm pretty confused about the real situation of the labour market in the Netherlands.

I would appreciate your responses.

Thanks,

Andrea

Hola Adrea qué tal.

Tambien estoy buscando un trabajo como profesor de ingles, holandes o ingels en holanda. Puedes intentar en berlitz.com, taaltaal.nl y bilangual kids. Todavia no he tenido éxito porque generalmente buscan nativos de ingles y español y yo no soy.

Intentalo quizas tengas suerte.

Cuídate,

Rinesh

Thanks STTF for your opinion about being an enterpreneur.

I am a Nigerian and will be coming to Netherlands in few months. I need an idea of anything from Nigeria or Africa that i can bring to Netherlands to sell. I can sell this and generate income.

Thanks
