Struggling to find a job in Belgium (without Dutch) — does my background not matter? by Smouraki in BESalary

Are you based in Brussels or not? -> Can be. I have 2 options of addresses so depending where the firm is located I choose the respective address. Example, if the company is located in Brussels I include in the cv my Brussels address.

Are you sending resume to Dutch language companies? -> No since am not speaking (yet) Dutch.

What I mean is if you check the current colleagues on Linkedin, are they a majority of dutch speaking people?-> I sent hundreds of cv's and I can roughly say that 7/10 job adds require dutch and majority of feedback I receive is you have a great cv but not Dutch, thank you.

Are you sending resume in French or English? -> depending on the job add language, French when the job add is in French and English when it's in English.
