The unemployed should be required to apply for jobs abroad

The Governor of the province of Limburg, Twan Beurskens, said that the unemployed should be allowed to apply for jobs abroad. 

The Volkskrant reported this on Tuesday, 13th January 2015.

Currently, a job seeker is obligated to accept a job within a radius of 100 kilometers from his home. This radius, however, has no effect on jobs abroad, in countries such as Germany or Belgium.

"If you live in Venlo, you do not have to apply for a job in Kaldenkirchen, which is a few kilometers across the border, but you do have to apply in Nijmegen, 70 kilometers away. That's strange," said Beurskens (VVD), Commissioner of Economic Affairs, to the newspaper.

The answer to this question is now long overdue, according to Beurskens. Therefore, he wants Limburg to take the lead in helping the unemployed find jobs abroad.

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".
