I am searching for for Admin work, and have been advised to try the centre of Brussels, does anyone know any good agencies (interims), to go to who can find me work?, in Brussels?

Hi,

The difficulty is not to provide you with temporary agencies addresses. But rather to find the little extra that would allow you to make a difference at potential employers.
As you have already noticed, knowledge of languages is essential in Belgium for getting a good job. So since you say your level in foreign languages is quite light, what other skills can you invoke to employers?

hi there
well I worked as a stockbroker (dealer not trader), and a credit card specialist, and I can touch type on a qwerty keyboard but am a little rusty as they don't use that over here, I also have good admin skills, mijn praten vaardigheden zijn niet zo goed, maar ik kan lezen en schrijven perfect, its just being a huisvrouw I don't get to talk much, I also give talks to belgians who are learning english, about the UK, which I love, the problem with me is that I don't have any skills with facory work or cleaning so local agencies are at a lost at where to place me, so this is why I thought I would try brussels but as I only go once in a blue moon I wouldn't know where to start, so any advice is better than nothing
