Reasons to work in the Netherlands

You might not have thought that much about working in the Netherlands, but there are many opportunities there for the right person. Of course, when you look for work in another country, things can be very difficult because of the language barriers, the translation issues, and other concerns. If you want to work in the Netherlands you'll have to have a work permit, but they are not that difficult to get, so you shouldn't have a lot of trouble obtaining one. People who are being interviewed in the Netherlands commonly ask questions of the interviewer as well, so be aware of that. There are always some cultural differences and issues that come into play when people work in other countries, but you don't want to underestimate how important to your professional and personal life it can be to work in another country. You will learn a great deal by working in the Netherlands. In that country time is money, so you should be expecting to work. You can't go there and expect to get a free ride because you aren't from that country.

Most meetings are not formal, though, and the goal is to reach a consensus between everyone instead of just having one person make a decision and tell everyone else what to do. That can be great for people who really like to work in groups and who enjoy having some say in what's taking place in the company in which they work. It can take time for meetings to be completed and decisions to be made, though, so patience and an understanding of the culture is necessary. Generally, jobs in the Netherlands pay well and the people that you will work for, and with, are direct and to the point, so you'll know what is expected of you and you won't be left guessing whether you are doing something right or wrong. This can sometimes be a problem with jobs in other countries, but in the Netherlands you won't have that problem. You must get used to the directness, though, so that you're not offended by it or mistake it as rudeness. It's simply the way business is done there.
