Working abroad (Netherlands)

Czech Republic czRamtin03 
Wassup. Together with few friends we would like to work in the Netherlands during next summer for few months. And I'm curious about few things 1) Should I learn Dutch? People there obvsly speak English, but it could help out finding a job. +Rumour got to me that u instantly swap to English if you see a foreigner struggling with Dutch 2) How hard it is to find a job as a foreigner? I havent graduated high school yet cuz I had to swap schools, shit like that so is there a chance for me to find a job as a fairly young guy? (Almost 18 atm) 3) Which city would be the best? I heard Amsterdam is expensive af + some people call it overrared The Netherlands are beautiful, I really like the language even tho it sometimes sounds like you're choking + ur food is awesome <3 even some shit for few cents tastes better than Czech one Every information, experience is appreciated

When I worked summers in Spain it helped me by knowing Spanish. You should try to learn basics so you can get the edge over other foreigner trying to get summer work. Not sure how difficult it is in Netherland but can imagine its not too hard considering how tourist bound this country is. Probably big influx of summer workers there just like other EU nation. Not sure which City but this is informations I can tell you, dont stay inside the city you working in. Stay somewhere 40minute-60minute away. Netherland has good train service? I think. Just dont spend alot of your money you get from working on living.

English literacy in Spain is far far lower than in the Netherlands, you can only get by using it in some major cities. Out of curiosity, where were you?

I did most city/town in east coast of Spain down to Malaga. Then I went to Madrid for a long time after. Spain best country in EU. Not even close. Maybe Italy/Croatia closest after but yes.

Thx a lot for those tips <3

1) Dutch is not needed. Youll end up speaking either english or Czech if its close to Polish. 2) They need cheap labor so being 18 youd find a job fairly easily since the minimum wage varies by age (government.nl/topics/minimum-wage/amount..), although you may get the 21 years old wage depending on where you end up. 3) DO NOT go to zandaam. Simply do not. Youll find yourself not being able to chose were you live but where you work. I've been working in Eindhoven but ended up living in Breda at first and then in Ysstensteyn (arround an hour trip by car each). No their food aint great man, from all the things you couldve said that aint one ): Shoud you have any more specific questions please dm me :)

Just checked and Czech is not that similar to Polish as I thought, had some slovakian friends who were able to properly communicate using Slovak with polish people.

Czech and Slovak is almost the same thing, 95% of time we understand each other. Slovaks have the upper hand in communicating with Poles Anyway I really appreciate it man, much love <3

Hi, I've been working there for a year so I can give you my feedback: 1. Dutch is not needed, nearly everyone there speaks fluent english, and yes if you're struggling with dutch, they'll switch to english 2. There is a lot of work in the Netherlands, but then it depends on your fields of expertise, I would say that if you didnt finish high school yet you can probably find job in touristic activities. Tricky part though about getting a salary in the netherlands, is that you need to register to the city council and get your tax number, and honestly thats a struggle because you need to already have a place where to live to get it, and the housing market is crazy. I think if you only stay for a short period you can get your tax number quicker but i dont know how it works exactly, check how to get a temporary BSN. 3. Amsterdam is pretty but it is indeed expensive as hell and housing market is a nightmare. It is hyper touristic though, so probably a lot of work opportunities but I would suggest not to live in Amsterdam and just commute if you find a job there

I had my BSN done by the contracting agency in my first day, I dont know how they managed to do it but i know some people for which it took about two weeks

Well for me the biggest problem was first to find a flat in Amsterdam, took me a month and a half for that, then to get the apointment to get registered at the gementee, originally it was scheduled for 3 month afterwards, I dont remember how but if your company has a deal in place with the city and if you pay like 80 euros extra, you have it in like a week or 2, but that meant I couldnt get a dutch bank account so the company couldnt pay me for like 2 months, that was tough

Awesome <3 I appreciate this a lot man, thx a milion times

1. If you plan on staying there, maybe learn it in the long term, but you absolutely will not need it. English is simply everywhere. Yes, most Dutch people will swap to English if you're struggling. 2. Given your age, not hard at all. There is a wide job market with good wages (though I would note, a higher cost of living). 3. Amsterdam is nice, perhaps not as nice as some people say, but its biggest problem is the housing market. Personally, I'd recommend somewhere southern, as that's where I've lived before, but I can't really give much more help than that. Blame the letter g. Not sure about Dutch food. Hope this helps!

All the Dutch people that I've talked to were fluent in English, but that could also just be a bias, because I was meeting them abroad, so they had to be somewhat good at English to be traveling. Also watch out for these scummy jobs like working in the warehouse somewhere in Netherlands. Read some reviews first, a lot of people got screwed over and in the end barely broke even. examples: easy-prace.cz/nabidka/nizozemsko-roosend.. hedvabnastezka.cz/diskuse/otto-work-forc..

is it true the netherlands is full of blonde thots
2023-09-20 18:47
Go to Eindhoven

1. No, There is 0 need to learn Dutch aslong as you speak English. 2. Its very easy to find minimum wage jobs for sure. (I would advise construction work for better pay.) 3. Which city is the best is very hard, Finding housing anywhere in The Netherlands is very difficult right now. Yes Amsterdam is very expensive so i wouldn't advise it.
