Welcome!

Some information: must have a BSN # this is like a social security number which allows you to legally work in Holland. Get your education diplomas or certificates evaluated at your city hall. They will test the value your education from your home country compared to Dutch standards. Go to local uitzendbureaus in your city or go online. These are agencies that help you find work, or they help businesses find employees. Often will suggest hard labor jobs for little pay, but you can say no according to what you want. City hall can guide you to employment services. If they are rude and say you must speak Dutch first, ask somewhere else. Go to local businesses and offer volunteer or have a day with them to learn about the business prospects in Holland. Look on other expat sites. Place an ad in the paper if you have talents you can turn into a home business. Network and talk to people. You may need to learn some Dutch, but could choose a job where you would have to only learn some basic sentences, fast food, ect. Lastly good luck and don't give up. I live in a "old fashioned" community where it seems everyone says you must speak Dutch to work here, although I have learned Dutch somewhat, I have a job does not require me to speak much Dutch.
