AMSTERDAM – In the Catshuis (the official residence of the prime minister), negotiators for VVD, CDA and PVV are discussing the possible change to or even the end of the tax-free mileage allowance for employees.

This was stated in an article published in the AD last Wednesday. Several different alternatives have been put to the CPB (Central Plan Bureau). Today, employees still receive 19 cents per kilometre from their boss but this amount may drop to 14 cents. According to the negotiators this is a realistic proposition, landing them 500 million euro. Putting a complete end to mileage allowance has also been discussed. Last Monday, the MPH (a trade union federation) actually discussed an increase in the mileage allowance. Since petrol prices have risen quite sharply and the mileage allowance has remained the same, the trade union federation pleaded for an increase of 5 cents.

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".
