Shell attracts ex-military staff

Shell will start hiring redundant military staff from next month onwards
On Wednesday afternoon, the energy group and Ministry of Defence will sign a covenant on the matter which will run from 2 April 2013 until 31 March 2014. The agreements made may be extended each time by a period of one year, should both parties be in agreement. Shell is specifically looking for staff for logistic posts, maintenance workers, operators and staff for the contracts & procurement department. “We know that military workers have useful competences and qualities to work for Shell”.

Cooperation

“Cooperation, flexibility, service orientated work and security awareness are prime examples. Joining forces seems logical”, according to Shell Personnel Manager for the Benelux and France, Jules Croonen. He sees plenty opportunities to hire (ex) military staff, for among other places, factories in Pernis and Moerdijk. Shell and the Ministry of Defence will meet monthly to discuss relevant vacancies. According to lieutenant-general Willem van de Water, the Ministry of Defence is quite satisfied with the collaboration, “for now and maybe for the future too”. Last year, Shell Holland hired 690 new employees, of whom 484 have a technical background.

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".
