Advice on how to get the most out of your experience working in the Netherlands

1. Be open-minded and flexible

Is this your first time working in the Netherlands? Remember to keep a flexible mindset and manage your expectations, without having this experience firsthand rarely will the reality match what you imagined when moving to another country.

Experience is the best teacher! Working abroad for even a short period will strengthen your character, make you an adaptable, hard-working individual. Able to enjoy the company of other cultures, mindsets, weather and traditions. Let yourself enjoy the experience!

Remember this is a new adventure, try to have an open-minded mentality and give yourself the first few weeks a chance to adapt to this new environment, the more experience and longer you get accustomed, the more you will get enriched with the knowledge for better chances in the Netherlands and in your home country.

2. Learn English

The Netherlands ranks #1 in the world for people that speak English as a second language. Though the Netherlands’ primary language is Dutch, you can hold a conversation in English with almost anyone. Knowing how to have a conversation in English will help you discover this country of tulips, windmills, and clogs to its fullness.

English language skills will help you understand your colleagues and your employer better in your new workplace. There are fewer opportunities for non-English speakers.
Often, many people are afraid to speak their mind in an unfamiliar language in this case English, even when they know the language pretty well.

If you want to increase your opportunities, don’t be scared to speak up. Everyone makes mistakes. The only thing that matters in communication is that the other person understands you. A high English level is not relevant to be understood. If you have questions regarding your English language level or would like some ideas on how to improve your skills, don’t hesitate to speak to Robins’ job experts.

3. Show your motivation.

Are you eager to earn as much money as possible during your stay in the Netherlands? The key to that is trying to get more responsibility at work and to get extra hours.

The Dutch are fans of employees showing initiative to learn new things or be ready to work overtime. If you find yourself not busy during working hours, start organizing your workspace. Put that extra effort, finish your tasks earlier than you supposed to, arrive slightly earlier to your shift (yes, the Dutch hate it when people are late to work). These are all signals for dutch managers that show the right motivation. When the manager notices you are eager to do more, you will get more responsibilities and, eventually, a higher salary. You will be the first one to work overtime.

4. Move together with a friend to work in the Netherlands.

When you travel to work in the Netherlands for the first time, we advise you to go together with a friend or spouse. Emotionally, it’s easier to get through the experience of moving to another country together. Though for agencies, it is harder to find work for friends or couples. There are still opportunities Robin can offer for those who like to go together, mostly if they both speak English.

Another significant benefit of going with someone else is that most of the rooms provided by the agency in the Netherlands are shared with someone else. It’s always a question who that other person will be if you travel alone to work in the Netherlands. Together, agencies can offer a room for both of you in almost all cases.

5. Learn to drive a bicycle and get ready to cycle through the rain.

Cycling is the most common way of transportation in the Netherlands. Chances are very high that you will be travelling to work and back by bicycle when you move to work in the Netherlands. Get ready to use the bike for your daily commute, and eventually, you will start enjoying it.
The Netherlands has the world’s best infrastructure for driving bicycles with flat landscapes and towns that are well connected with paved bicycle roads. There is even a network of bicycle highways in which bikes prefer any other vehicle such as cars.

At most employment agencies, a bicycle will be provided when the distance from work to your accommodation is less than 10 km’s from each other. A significant benefit of cycling is that it’s cheap and good for your health. One of the biggest enemies of a cyclist is rain, and it will rain in the Netherlands! Soon you will be skilled in cycling with an umbrella or cycling with your rain gear 🙂

6. Prepare a good CV

Your future employer in the Netherlands is keen on seeing what kind of jobs you were doing before. This is why many agencies in the Netherlands require job seekers a CV to see what type of job experience you have. Even summer jobs or jobs you did some years in the past might help you get a better-paid job.

At Robin, we are not pushing too hard on CVs as we believe that a CV doesn’t tell much about the person behind the applicant. Still, most employers don’t share that philosophy.

If you have trouble writing a CV, Robins’ job experts will help you write one, and, just like all our services towards jobseekers, completely free of charge!
