Navigating your first job search in the Netherlands

Leerdoelen

  • Understand the dutch recruitment process
  • Enhance your cv and linkedin profile
  • Develop strategies to handle rejection

Newly graduated and excited to take on your first job opportunity in the Netherlands? But feeling stuck or overwhelmed with where to begin your job search or how to be successful? Don’t worry. We have been there. 

From graduate to hired

Transitioning from being a student to a job seeker to landing your first job in the Netherlands can be challenging. Not only do you have to deal with recruitment processes that might be different compared to your previous experiences, it is also a challenge to find suitable positions that matches your level of experience and to keep finding motivation when facing rejection. 

What will you learn?

During this session, we will talk about the challenges you will most likely face as a new job seeker, but also to overcome them, but also what the job seeking process looks like in the Netherlands and what to expect. We have both made the transitioning from being students to landing our first job in the Netherlands, and we will share advice from our own experiences of jobs searching as well as from our job as recruitment consultants. We will also host a CV and LinkedIn workshop where we will go through both your CV and LinkedIn page to give input on how to make it better.
