The Dutch population bought a total of 449 thousand new cars last year, 16 percent more than in 2014. Vehicle sales grew faster than the average in the European Union.
Across the EU 9 percent more cars were sold. According to CBS, Dutch sales growth figures for vehicles are one of the highest in Europe.

In Ireland car sales rose most, by nearly 30 percent. In Cyprus and Portugal, sales were a quarter ahead. The Dutch percentage grew faster than Germany, Britain, and France. Estonia and Luxembourg are the only countries where sales shrank.

The increase in the Netherlands is mainly due to tax changes, which came in on 1 January. The change boosted sales in the last months of last year. In December 2015, sales were 90 percent higher than in December 2014.

In numbers, Germany has the largest car market. The eastern neighbors bought more than 3.2 million new cars last year.

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

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".
