Hi, I have recently been offered a job interview with a company in the Netherlands and I am considering the accepting the position.
I have never visited the Netherlands so I am thinking long and hard about accepting the position. it would be a great oppertunity for me to further my career. I do not have any Dutch I speak English and Irish and have basic French. I would be moving to the country on my own. any advice or information would be greatly appreciated e.g. Lifestyle, social life, work life balance, the Dutch people, different areas in the Netherlands etc. the Company is based in many different places in the netherlands and I have yet to decide where I will be based with the company.
