Expat Centers in The Netherlands
Relocating to the Netherlands from overseas will be one of the most exciting and important steps that you take in your career and working life. However, as with all international relocations, the process of settling in can be complicated. In recent years in the Netherlands, there has emerged a new expat support function known as the Expat Center, which is designed to reduce red tape for relocating professionals and to help expats and their families to settle in.
Expat Centers are situated throughout the Netherlands so no matter where you are locating within the Netherlands you are likely to find an Expat Center within easy reach of you. So, what services can an ExpatCenter offer to expats to help them more quickly integrate into the Netherlands?
Well, the overwhelming benefit of an Expat Center is that it is a one-stop-shop where you can go and have all your questions about the Netherlands answered. The Expat center can give you advice on Immigration, Governmental Registrations, Taxes, Insurances, Socializing and leisure, cultural adaptation, choosing a school, setting up a company, hiring staff, healthcare options, transportation, housing, financial services, shipping and much more. And, if the Expat Center cannot answer your question, they can certainly refer you to someone who can.
Expat Centers can provide you with good quality information about the Netherlands and provide you with comfort and piece of mind as you know you always have someone on hand to help you with any complicated questions that you may have.

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".
