Possibilities for jobs in government will remain limited

The Netherlands has about 50,000 less public employees compared to a decade ago. It does not appear that the government will take as many people again.

This is expected, says the Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen (Institute for Employee Insurance, UWV). The number of jobs will probably increase slightly over the coming years, but remain far from the level before the financial crisis.

The UWV expects that public employment will continue to shrink until 2017, where it will begin to stabilise. According to the social security agency, there is still little room for new employment in the sector.

Compact civil service

The government in 2014 had over 412 thousand employees. That is eleven percent less than in 2004. The decline has happened mainly because successive governments in recent years have sought for a more compact public administration.

In particular, the municipal and provincial governments have become smaller: they work by more than a fifth less staff than ten years ago.

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".
