Highly Skilled Migrant Visa - employment possibilities

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

You haven't told us what your skills are, but to get a decent job anywhere, you need to meet some requirements:

Relevant qualifications (if in a regulated field, they need to be approved by the national authority).
Relevant experience.
Speak the local language.
Luck.

As a non-EU citizen, it really means that you'll need to fill a job that nobody else in Holland can do.

Unless your key skills are in great demand, e-mail approaches are generally not very successful; they have more than enough local people walking in the door.  It's much better to phone the agency dealing with your speciality and speak to the recruiter dealing with your field.

The other thing you could try is to contact the HR departments of the multi-national companies directly.

Hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for the warm welcome and all the information.

I have a Masters in Global Marketing and my 2nd language is Afrikaans so my Dutch Lessons are going very well.

My background is in Events & Marketing so I dont see there being a severe lack of this within Amsterdam, unless I'm severely mistaken.

I think my only option would be to contact MNC's

But thanks anyway, I appreciate your prompt response and assistance.

Well, your key skills are not regulated, so all you can do is keep doing whatever you can to make people think that "Miss from ZA" is potentially the person they need to speak to.

I wish you the best of luck.

Hi, and welcome!

May I ask how you were granted a Highly Skilled Migrant visa without having a job offer? I only ask as I've been trying for many years now unsuccessfully.

Good luck with the Dutch lessons and job hunting! I wish you much success!
