The Dutch transport sector’s turnover increased by more than two percent in 2014 and thereby reached its record growth since the economic crisis.

According to the report released by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), all branches of the sector contributed to this positive upturn.

The postal and courier services were a major contributor to the upturn in the industry – the sectors managed to increase their turnover by almost five percent last year. Internet shopping went through a boom and led to greater logistics demand, which caused a rapid eight percent growth within courier services.

The aviation industry announced an equal turnover as to that of 2013. While sales dropped in the first quarter, it slightly rose in subsequent quarters. Inland transport continues to grow because of positive figures of transport of goods as well as removal services. Also, water transport increased its revenue by more than one percent.

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.

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".
