Most of the time, preparation is the secret to be successful in a job interview. When preparing the questions, remember that not everything can be suitable.

After the article of "the top 10 questions to ask in an interview", we invite you to check the 10 questions you shouldn’t ask in an interview:

1. Do you offer the possibility to work from home?
2. Can you tell me if there is public transportation nearby?
3. Can you tell me what does the company do?
4. Do you offer child care on-site facilities?
5. How often do you give a pay raise?
6. How often do you promote employees?
7. Do you do background checks?
8. How did the interview go? Did I get the job?
9. Don’t ask if there is a possibility to change schedule, job details or salary.
10. Don’t ask if the company checks e-mail or internet usage.

Remember, never ask questions that you can easily find the answer on the internet. Prepare them and don’t ask whatever. Give to your questions a useful objective.

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.

A. Aboufirass | Structural Engeer

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".
