The turnover of the hospitality industry in The Netherlands, including catering and accommodation, rose in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the previous year.

The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) revealed that throughout the entire year, the turnover climbed by 5.6%. The last time it achieved such a sales increase was in 2007 at 5.5%. CBS claims that all branches delivered positive summary of the sales, particularly restaurants by 6.6% and snack bars by 6.4%.

Furthermore, the increase in turnover in the hospitality industry has brought about an upturn in the job market. Also, 64,000 new job vacancies were created in the whole sector in 2014. This marks the highest number of new jobs created since 2008, which indicates an employment boost in the industry.

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".
