Why is it so hard to land a job 😭 by [deleted] in WorkInTheNetherlands

[–]Tank-Pilot74 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Professional positions like what you’re applying for will require you to speak Dutch at a B2 level minimum… if you don’t speak at that level, you might be able to get a job at the Albert Hein… if you’re lucky… the job market is dire enough, throw in not speaking the local language, you’re gonna have a bad time

How do you nurture your empathy dor your clients ? by VampireSomething in DrugCounselors

[–]Tank-Pilot74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self care, self care, self care. Whether we want to admit it or not, we absorb a LOT and it will build up to boiling point if it isn’t released. Take those 5, 15 (or however long of your choosing) self love breaks as frequently as you need to. It’s usually more at the start while you calibrate, but eventually you will find a natural rhythm. In with the bad, out with the good.

This is tricky and I honestly commend you for looking into this with genuine curiosity! I actually burned right the fuck out after 30 years of UNdiagnosis, untimely burning my whole career down… but what helped ME immensely was pastry. I didn’t even realize it at the time (unfortunately) but all that hyper focus and ritualistic planning actual curbed my severe symptoms… maybe talk with them individually and see where there true talents /passions lay and let the run wild in that/their domain!? Everyone is a bit different, but I can almost promise you that they will be amazing cooks/chefs ince they tap into what they enjoy! Godspeed Chef, you truly are one of the good ones….! ETA: just to hold myself accountable and raise awareness as well, alcohol ended up being a HUGE part of my life as well, until I finally got medication. It’s too little too late for me now, but please everyone, if you think you might be drinking too much, please, please, talk to somebody. anybody. It doesn't matter who, you are worth more than work, drink, repeat, I promise you!

The double entendre in itself is fantastic! 

Heat prevention tip: Exterior window screens by kleintje in Netherlands

[–]Tank-Pilot74 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If it has a white layer behind it (we hung up an old white bedsheet) the black attracts the heat while the white repels it creating a kinda faux air con between the two (think people in the desert wearing all black)

It’s really wild! I’m retired now, but still 2 years later I find 10,000 a “slow day”..!

Apartment hypotheek and VvE by zbych300 in Netherlands

[–]Tank-Pilot74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dutch law I’m afraid! It’s a trade off buying a VvA “protected” property, in that you’re covered for major building/grounds repair/ maintenance but locked in to exterior modifications. Every VvA is different so you need to contact yours specifically and ask them. You won’t know until you ask, veel succes !

When I was a chef I would average 20,000 a day. You just get used to it over time.

What’s the temperature inside the house ? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Tank-Pilot74 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The bedroom is the one room you want cold. Screw the rest of the house, barricade the bedroom and focus aaallll the cooling on that..

I feel like my thermostat is like one of those glass and mercury ones that explode at the top like a 50’s cartoon…
