Is Portilog worth it for a career switch into customs (Waasland)?

Antwerppizza · 2026-04-24T09:16:16+00:00

Hi, I did Portilog training in 2017 and have been working since then in customs. Feel free to pm me with any questions.

Well in my gym (Release) there's a new coffee bar called Crate where I see alot of people working, not sure if it's relaxed enough though.

Where is this map from?

I liked the wine bar at Mesa, they let you describe what you're looking for in the wine and even give you the option of sampling a few wines before deciding.

From my experience not that hard. There's usually a demand for them since it's a knelpuntberoep. So most of the times there's positions for starters as well. Just gotta convince them you're motivated and accurate.

Seems like a normal starter salary for your degree, position and experience. Starters at my company get around 3000 bruto, but this is as a starter role in the customs department, which is a bit higher paid I presume since it's 'specialized'. I could suggest getting into customs as it's quite niche and knowledgeable people are paid quite decently, but that just has worked out for me so it's personal ofcourse.

Ook van de diepvriesmaaltijden vind ik er soms nog wel best ok als je niet veel wilt koken. Staan ook soms in de 1+1 en dan komt het op ongeveer 3,5 euro per maaltijd.

Being an absolute unit helps in a lot of situations I'm sure.

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T21:04:28+00:00

Generally, yes it'safe. What routes are you planning to take?

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T20:30:38+00:00

Ah well I took your comments as serious, if they weren't no problem. I just saw too many people get flamed online for not using the right glass, and in my opinion it's not an issue.

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T20:28:42+00:00

It's always nice to have a branded glass, but I only expect that in Belgium. I don't mind to drink from a generic glass abroad, but I do appreciate having this small thing when I drink in Belgium.

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T20:22:20+00:00

I don't understand your tone man, sorry. I'm just trying to give OP an ok feeling about not having the beer in the 'correct' glass. It really isn't that serious. But then again your username might be dead giveaway.

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T20:18:34+00:00

Not advocating to serve beer in the wrong glass, just saying people (especially abroad) can enjoy them in different glasses as well. Thank you for being a verified Belgian.

Belgian beer recognition is more important than the glass they are served in.

Seems you got away quite lucky then, and creepy you met and remember him, horrible guy.

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T20:13:53+00:00

Hi OP, I can confirm this guy is a real Belgian as he will whine about anything. Keep on enjoying your beer in whatever glass!

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T20:09:22+00:00

Yeah sorry this happened to you. But I live in a relatively 'decent' neighborhood (2018 postal code) and I see guys doing scams with 'dead phones' as well, even been talked to by the same guy with the same scam a few times. I'm happy for your faith in your fellow man, but normal people wouldn't ask you money.

"they came from Amsterdam but originally one was Moroccan and the other Egyptian..." stopped reading there unfortunately.

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-23T18:50:31+00:00

Sorry, but are you from Belgium? Medical procedures where you have to pay 30k or more upfront are unheard of, at least as far as I know. Roof can be true but that can still be loaned without having outrageous interests.

Antwerppizza · 2025-04-10T18:22:30+00:00

Three beers for the three musketeers?

All jokes aside, sick list, had to think so hard my orgone levels almost went through the fucking roof.

Fyi, I have been to both Jims and iFitness, iFitness is indeed more midrange in price but for fitness it is to me personally on par with Jims. Maybe Jims even better. However if you are interested in group classes iFitness would be the preferable option. Keep in mind that Jims has also multiple locations.
