live & work in nl

by neve • 24 Jan 2009, 12:48 • Journals
There's a possibility to go in Amsterdam or just another big city in Holland to work and live for 6 months/1 year?

Don't care about kind of work, the important thing is that it should allow me to survive.

My intention is to live there trying to perfect my english and to learn some dutch.

I'm a 20 years old guy with Italian diploma in electronic and telecommunication. I would enjoy to find a work related to electronic.

Tips & tricks will be really appreciated.

I'd suggest rotterdam. Enough jobs open and alot of rooms to stay in untill your work is over.

+ The dutch are nice people and NL is probaply the best english speaking country (as a 2nd language)

Eh no. Netherlands is considered the best English speaking country who haven't got english as their 1st language.

I would try to find a job in a country where english is the first language if I wanted to improve it.

eg. UK / USA.

i'm not sure wether smaller businesses will employ people who only speak english, but with a degree in electronics you can always try to apply with an international company before you go here to see what your chances are. i'd suggest phillips but their main headquarters is in eindhoven afaik

Would be nice but depends on wheter you want to live as an adult or as a student [dont know what age you are] If you really want to work try amsterdam/rotterdam/the hague, if you look for more excitement as a student focus on amsterdam/utrecht.

I would live as a student, a little job like dishwasher would be perfect.

I've actually thought of the same idea. NL is quite small, but the language reminds me a lot of swedish and I am quite in to the lifestyle.

Any suggestions would be awesome.

You're better looking for a job in Italy (If that's where you are from) that will send you off to another country. It's easier that way and the perks/benefits are much better for when you come home. Plus, when a company sends you to work in another country, chances are they will give you the option to move around a lot, so you will have the chance to go anywhere you want.

That's from my experience and co-workers/friends have said the same thing as well.
