The number of people who found employment in the Netherlands has increased in the past three months. Overall, the unemployment rate was reduced by an average of 6,000 per month.

According to the latest figures by CBS, this development is particularly visible amongst young people. The employment figure for those within15 to 24 years old increased by approximately 10,000 a month. This trend has already started in mid-2014. Over-45s also found more employment, however this development is less significant than in the young population.

The Employee Insurance Agency also stated that the number of unemployment benefits declined, in particular amongst this young people. The number of unemployment benefits is nearly 2.4% below the level in March 2014. However, CBS emphasised that there are significant differences between age categories – the number of over-50 recipients is 8% higher whereas the number of under-25 recipients is 15% below the level in March 2014.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
