       There are less and less job vacancies for those with a university degree, according to a survey by job search engine Adzuna. Academics have the most chances to find a job in the province Utrecht.
From the figures of Adzuna, it looks like Academics have more difficulty finding a job compared to HBO graduates. For this study more than 200,000 jobs were analysed throughout the Netherlands. These were derived from more than 170 different sources.

       Best Chances in Utrecht

       Utrecht graduates have to compete with ten other applicants for a job at their level. Graduates from HBO in this province have to compete with just one other person for each vacancy.
Anyhow, the academics still have the biggest opportunity in Utrecht to find a job at their education level. In this province 8.1% of the local jobs are aimed at potential candidates who hold a university degree. In the rest of the country, this level is at 5.7%. HBO have a much greater chance of finding a job at their education level, both nationally and in Utrecht. In Utrecht, 28.3% of vacancies are aimed forHBO graduates, and in the rest of the country, this makes up 24.2% of the vacancies.

       Difference in Salary

       A university degree does offer a higher salary than a college degree. In the Netherlands, job offers regarding academic work and thinking level have a salary of 9.4% higher than that salaries for a job vacancies on HBO level. In Utrecht, this difference is a bit lower at 4.3%. In New York for example, the difference is largerat 17.4%.
       For the province of Gelderland, the salary of a job at university level is on averageslightly lower than those at HBO level.

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

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".
