The municipality of The Hague injects 68 million euros into the economy with the purpose of stimulating and tackling the unemployment rate of more than 17% of the city.

According to telegraaf.nl, 25 million of the total amount goes to small and medium sized enterprises and 12 million are used for youth unemployment. The mayor and aldermen announced this on Monday 23 March 2015.

The council claims: “Renewal is needed as The Hague’s labour market does not benefit sufficiently from the nation-wide, slight economic rebound.” The aim of this is to make more people capable of living without welfare benefits and give the people in precarious situations more opportunities to become employed. The municipality says: “Actions need to be taken in order to create 3000 jobs. Partners from economy, education and research institutions are deeply involved in implementing these plans.”

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.

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".
