Employment figures in the OECD region improved slightly in the third quarter of 2014.

This was according to the report released by OECD earlier this week.

Employment in the OECD region increased by 0.1 percentage point to 65.7% of the workforce compared to the previous quarter. However, employment is still 0.8% lower than in the second quarter of 2008, before the outbreak of the financial crisis.

In the Eurozone, employment rose by 0.1 percentage point to 64%. According to report, Portugal and Greece were the strongest gainers. There was a relatively strong increase in employment in Ireland, Slovakia, Germany and the Netherlands.

Employment among youths aged 15 to 24 years, after three quarters of growth, remained unchanged in the third quarter. Employment also grew faster for men than for women.

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

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".
