Hi Dark Devil,

Could you please drop an advert in the Jobs in Brussels section of the website so that you might get an opportunity ?

In addition to that, feel free to read the articles under the Work in Belgium section of the Expat Guide so that you may gather as much information possible. There are several links to jobs specialised websites indicated in the articles.

All the best,
Bhavna

You just have to do like anyone :

- Register to ACTIRIS
- Register to temporary job agency

But there are several questions you had to answer :
- Have you a work permit ?
- Are your diplomas valid in Belgium ?

Dark Devil

thanks for the information i am here on tourist visa right now and we are applying for the family reunion visa so as we come to know that it will take 6 months so i cannot register in ACTIRIS because i don't have the Identification number from belgium government and i don't know that my diploma is valid in belgium or not it would be nice if i get information how to know if my diploma is valid in belgium or not

Dark Devil

annabelle333

Do you mean making a self-marketing through your own website?

Dark Devil

For now id try companies directly. However you may find many wont employ you untill you have an id card from belgium

Hmm, what about freelancing?

Dark Devil

ya i am searching for freelancing also any idea where i can find it

Hey, hmm i'm not too sure about Brussels, but I'm positive there should be good opportunities. I think it's important to learn about branding yourself online, as these are tips that can work in any city really. Maybe there are some useful meetup groups in Brussels to help?

there are many official companies posting job opportunities on facebook you should definitely be attentive to that !
