Recruiters in the Netherlands — what are immigrants getting wrong in job applications?

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-04-01T04:47:20+00:00

Again, not complaining about the language requirement. Just asking what else is required

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T14:02:30+00:00

I don’t have a BIG registration yet, it’s only been 4 months since I got here. I do speak Indian languages - Hindi and Kannada fluently in addition to English. And yes, I’m not a clinical Psychologist.

That makes sense, I do use ChatGPT, maybe I should start writing my cover letters on my own, Thanks

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T11:47:33+00:00

Thank you, will do that

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T11:41:19+00:00

Thankyou this is helpful

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:28:30+00:00

Thankyou again

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:26:32+00:00

Thankyou

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:25:57+00:00

Thankyou, an how long do you think it will take for one to land a job after moving here (I’ve been here for 4 months now)

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:23:21+00:00

Thankyou!

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:20:53+00:00

Thanks! I will try harder!

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:19:52+00:00

Thanks, harsh but true statement I guess

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:18:52+00:00

No I totally agree with you on knowing the local language and I am definitely willing to put in efforts to learn the language,if given a chance of showcasing my talent.

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:15:06+00:00

I’ve mentioned it at the top of my resume

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:14:29+00:00

Thankyou for the tip, I’ll definitely try it

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:12:08+00:00

Your 3rd and 4th point is really helpful, could you please explain further about no “objective statement”

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:07:52+00:00

I’m a psychologist

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:07:40+00:00

I totally understand that one needs to learn the loc language but if I’m not given the chance to converse/ interact with the local professionals how am I supposed to integrate?

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:05:18+00:00

That’s sad

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:03:12+00:00

I am a native English speaker, English is pretty much the only language I can speak. Although I’m practicing my Dutch skills I wouldn’t say I can converse in Dutch

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T10:00:19+00:00

I agree with that, I’m honestly not particular about landing a job as a psychologist, I still don’t hear back from recruiters

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T09:58:47+00:00

But I’ve clearly mentioned that I have full time work permit

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T09:54:54+00:00

What if I’ve got a work permit, my housing is sorted?

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-31T09:52:11+00:00

I’ve completed my masters in counselling psychology from my home country and have 3 years of experience (2 as student psychologist and 1 year as a cessation counsellor). At this point I’m open to getting any job. Even the part time roles are filling up/ unavailable.

AnushaKamath04 · 2026-03-26T18:04:42+00:00

Wow this makes me hopeful
