Exports from the Overijssel region contribute 27% of the overall national exports; and therefore are a valuable asset to the economy of the Netherlands. Overijssel manages this despite the fact that it is not as conveniently located to the German border as other provinces in the Netherlands. Although construction and health care are strong features in the Overijsselse economy; these goods are barely traded across borders. Industry contributes to over a third of the export value of the province and agriculture also makes a substantial contribution.
The regional differences between the export capacities of Overijsselse regions are limited, however Twente leads. The region of Twente has strong technological characteristics and therefore contributes the most to the export of industrial goods. This can be put down to the fat that the world –class industrial firms of Ten Carte and Norma are housed within Twente; as well as the international label of Grolsch in the food and beverage industry. To the North of Overijsselse the transport industry is also important to export capacity with the automotive industries of Scania in Zwolle Floating export services. The South of Overijssel is ranked the highest exporter of agro- chemicals in Europe; and therefore impacts beyond meager wholesale trade.

Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands.

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".
