There are various different ways that a job seeker can search for their ideal job. Searches include visiting job boards, LinkedIn, recruitment agencies, search engines, job fairs and etc.

The most popular and effective method of job searching would be by registering on jobsites, job boards and receiving daily mails from them informing you about the latest jobs in your preferred sector. Another obvious reason would be that jobsites such as Indeed, Monster and many others produce a huge amount of new jobs on a daily basis.

On the other hand job fairs is another really good approach as it always you to do more than just submit your CV and Cover Letter. “Networking events may have dozens of company recruiters in attendance. Rather than trying to meet as many recruiters as possible, find out in advance which companies will be represented and pick the five that are most relevant to your career search”(business news daily 2014).

A growing trend over the last few years would certainly be LinkedIn, as most of the world’s leading businesses are posting jobs on LinkedIn. It is really important to have a strong presence on LinkedIn, have a professional display picture. Your LinkedIn profile can sometimes be substituted as your CV so it is really important to have job experiences, skills and education on there.

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

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

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".
