How to live outside the borders
There are many reasons why a person may live abroad: your boss forced you to relocate, you met a girl online and fell in love, or you wanted to get a better education. Regardless the motivation, the idea of living abroad is an exciting prospect but it can be a daunting one as well. The bad news? We need a long time to adapt otherwise we can get homesick. Here are some guidelines to get you started on a right track to adapt and thrive in an international environment.

From an Erasmus student to the Erasmus University. How I got to The Netherlands
It was five years ago that I first packed for a somewhat longer trip. Not the most useful luggage, I soon found out, because you never really know what to expect from a whole year trip. In my last year of bachelor studies, I was part of the European study exchange programme Erasmus as a Romanian student in Warsaw, Poland. Since then, I developed the strong opinion that studying abroad is one of the best things you can do for both your academic and personal experience.

We want to hear from YOU!
For the last two years, Together Abroad has been trying to give you a helping hand when looking for work as well as information you need when relocating in The Netherlands. So…how did we do? We want to hear your views on the services we provide, ideas on how to do it better, and on new aspects to focus on.

Jobseekers looking for work and the SME looking for staff are not in tune
Looking for work and recruitment is not matched well. Jobseekers looking for work and the SME looking for staff are not in tune.
Where jobseekers mainly refer to online recruitment sites (95%) and temping agencies (83%) when looking for work, SME entrepreneurs mainly use their own websites (65%) and their own private network (53%) when looking for staff. Jobseekers directly checking the website of a company is only found in seventh place according to the TNO (Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research) and employment agency Unique’s MKB Marktmonitor (SME Market Monitor) of 2011/2012.
We started with just posting our jobs on their job board, and throughout the years our cooperation has grown into a valuable partnership.
Since last year Together Abroad present their workshop “How to find a job in The Netherlands” also at the 4 Undutchables offices to our candidates. We are happy to be able to provide such great and reliable service to our candidates.
And we look forward to continue our fruitful cooperation in the future.
Kirsten Jansen - van den Broek Undutchables
We have worked with Together Abroad as advertisers since their inception in 2009.
During this time, we have found them to be very responsive to our needs and very pleasant people to work with.
I would certainly recommend them as reliable and responsive business partners with an eye to the market and having their fingers on the pulse of the Dutch employment sector.
Ray Paker - Madison Parker International
I have known Linda since the inception of Together Abroad and have always been impressed by her passion for the world of internationals and the energy and drive they have invested in their business.
She have built an important portal for the international community in the Netherlands providing information, trainings and job opportunities to this group.
The job board is an important resource to Adams and gives us greater exposure to the jobs we advertise and an additional source of candidates.
