Hoi allemaal! So I've been here in the Netherlands for 3 months and I started looking for Job last February and until now.. It seems finding job here is so difficult when you only know english. Most of the Jobs require dutch language which i am not good yet. I'm currently staying in the province of flevoland and most of companies here require Dutch..i have broaded my job searching from agencies to company directly.

I wonder if there's anyone here who have the same situation as me or maybe any advice? 🤔
