Is it easy for Dutch graduates to find jobs?

Many students studying in the Netherlands are asking: Is it good to find a job when studying in the Netherlands? Is the employment situation in the Netherlands really so unfavorable? Follow me to see the introduction of the relevant situation. Let's talk about how easy it is for Dutch graduates to find jobs.

Is it good to study in Holland and find a job? Personal account of overseas returnees studying in the Netherlands:

When I was in the Netherlands, I met some Dutch students who were about to graduate or had already graduated, and stayed at home all day worrying about not finding a job; After returning home, I met some Dutch returnees and lamented how difficult it was to find a job in the Netherlands. Looking back on my job-hunting experience in the past, combined with the experiences of many friends who worked successfully in the Netherlands, I feel that it is not as difficult as I thought to find a job in the Netherlands. In fact, the Dutch government has provided legal policies that are very conducive to finding jobs for Dutch students.

Since the Dutch Immigration Bureau set up a high-tech immigration system in 24, international students who have obtained a Dutch university diploma can legally work and live in the Netherlands without having to apply for a work permit separately from the Labor Bureau through their employers. Compared with the work permit system with complicated application process in other countries, Dutch employers only need to submit a work contract with international students with an annual income of more than 26,65 euros to the Labor Bureau to help international students apply for a residence permit for high-tech immigrants.

From a technical point of view, there is not much difference between the legal procedures for a Dutch company to hire foreign students and a native, and the annual income requirement of 26,65 euros is not high in the Netherlands. In addition, the Dutch are more open and tolerant, and they don't exclude foreign employees in culture. Therefore, it is better for China students to study in the Netherlands and find jobs in the local environment. In order to grasp the favorable policies of the government and find a suitable job within one year after graduation, the key is to find the right direction and persevere.

Make good use of the surrounding resources

For international students, the biggest problem in finding a job in a foreign country is actually not the language problem, but the resource problem. Because they are not familiar with the local labor market and leave the help of their parents' so-called "relationships" in China, many international students don't know which direction to look for a job, but they don't know where to start. At this time, you need to get some information about recruitment on your own. There are also large recruitment websites similar to China Zhaopin, such as monster, vacature, etc. It is of course the most basic way to find recruitment information by sending resumes in groups from the Internet. However, it is not enough to rely only on network resources. It is hard to find a job at home all day. Basically, every Dutch university has a career guidance center for international students. Teachers in the career center will provide international students with career planning advice, career psychological counseling and other services, and also provide students with some information about the recruitment unit. Overseas students should never treat these vocational centers as decorations. They should often go to the vocational centers for consultation, which is not only helpful for making a clear and reasonable job-hunting plan, but also can obtain some recruitment information that can't be found on the Internet. Some school vocational centers even submit resumes to cooperative institutions and companies on behalf of students. With the support of the school, international students will get twice the result with half the effort in the process of finding a job.

In addition, although people are not in China, international students still need to learn how to make use of China people's network in the Netherlands. There are not many China students studying in Holland, so it is easy for everyone to form their own circle of contacts, and almost everyone in China can enthusiastically help their compatriots. Many students' job opportunities actually come directly from the introduction of seniors and sisters who have already worked. Therefore, international students need to actively participate in some social activities after arriving in the Netherlands. Basically, every big city in the Netherlands has its own student union in China. The student union often organizes some activities, participates in them more, gets to know other China students in the Netherlands, especially China students who have already worked, and listens to the suggestions of these experienced people, so that they will not be blind when looking for a job.

summing up experience, never lose heart in a hundred battles

as the saying goes, work will not come to you. In China, it takes several months for fresh graduates to find a suitable job, not to mention in Europe, which is more demanding. International students should never deny themselves just because they have received several job rejections, and pack up and return home disheartened. Employers in the Netherlands are quite responsible, and in the rejection letter to each applicant, the reasons for rejection will be explained. After receiving this rejection letter, you should study it carefully and sum up your experience in order to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses in the next application. In addition, once the resume is delivered, it is best not to wait for the notice. For the company you are eager to work for, you can send several emails to ask about the progress of the application, so as to deepen the impression of the employer on you. Some well-known enterprises will participate in the annual large-scale job fairs in the Netherlands. International students can run these job fairs more often, learn more about the recruitment requirements of these enterprises, and seize the opportunity to express themselves directly to HR at the job fairs.

To sum up, for those students who are concerned about studying in the Netherlands and finding a job, I have given you a detailed introduction in the above. It is not very difficult for Dutch students to find a job in the Netherlands after graduation. All they need to do is to make long-term preparations for finding a job after graduation from the moment they enter school.
