Beyond the CV: closing the visibility gap for international professionals

Leerdoelen

  • Understand the visibility gap and why it affects international professionals
  • Improve key sections of a CV or LinkedIn profile for stronger positioning
  • Translate international experience into clear value for Dutch employers

Many international professionals are highly capable, yet struggle to communicate their value clearly in a new context. Often, the issue is not a lack of skills, but a lack of clarity in how those skills are positioned and translated into the Dutch context. This creates a “visibility gap” between capability and opportunity.

What you will learn

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn:

  • What the visibility gap is and why it affects internationals
  • How to translate international experience into clear and locally relevant value
  • How to identify unclear positioning in their own CV or LinkedIn profile
  • How to rewrite key sections for clarity and relevance

Practical and immediately applicable

Participants will leave with practical improvements they can immediately apply to their professional profiles. The session is hands-on, practical, and focused on concrete results.
