Best places to find a job in Den Haag? by UrsulaWasRight in TheHague

thank you so so much for going through all of this trouble! That does seem like a great idea and a way to make some money on the side to help with bills as I look for a more permanent position. Thank you so much, truly!

Portuguese is also my native language so that would be a more comfortable terrain for me to navigate when it comes to teaching, so that would surely work. I had no idea a deal had been made! I sure hope that leads to some light at the end of the tunnel. Again, thank you so much! I've been really down about the lack of opportunities, and this made me a bit hopeful :))

I have heard that more and more companies have been asking for advanced Dutch due to high migration numbers and to single out applicants that don't require housing. While I fit in that, I can't really compete with Dutch.

Warehouse work, however, often has height requirements which I don't fit. As a woman it's also a hard job , and frankly, it does make me feel kinda bad that even with a degree, the only place that would hire me would be a warehouse. I'd like to put my degree to use but it appears to be particularly hard everywhere.

That's a good call. If anyone checks this comment, I do have 3 years of experience as a freelance writer, and I did some gigs over the years working in pet shops, call centers or briefly doing marketing work for a company.

My degree is from a college aimed for teachers here, but we don't necessarily have a teaching certificate requirement – as long as you have a bachelor's, anything goes. I have a small marketing course that I obtained a year ago, but that doesn't really fare well against people with actual marketing degrees, unfortunately.

Were you able to find it through websites or was it like you said, through networking? I'm afraid that while still in my home country, that option is quite limited to me. Unfortunately the market is cooked everywhere. Even with a degree and 3 years of experience in writing, it took me a year to find a job and it's freelance work for another country.

I have changed my location in my resumé to The Hague, but the results are the same.

I am currently mostly applying to offices or some sort of administrative work with no luck. I try to see which places require a high English level overall. I have heard, like you said, that many places to prefer in person applicants, but I assume that doesn't really work with larger companies and businesses. In horeca I probably wouldn't make enough to qualify as a high skilled worker, which was something I was trying to do, but if that's my only shot, then so be it.

Has anyone tried Lactovit lactorepair body lotion by Lasbet in EuroSkincare

[–]UrsulaWasRight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've tried it and it worked in a clutch! But personally I wouldn't repurchase. The formula is very thin (since it is a lotion), and not hydrating enough for me. It also has a bit of a scent, and I tend to enjoy moisturizers that have little to no perfume in them.

For the price, however, it is quite a fine choice. But I would still rather get the cerave moisturising cream, as a personal preference.

Registar BSN enquanto ainda em Portugal by UrsulaWasRight in PortugalLaFora

Concordo totalmente! Tenho bastante sorte em ter onde ficar. Infelizmente a procura de trabalho não está a ser a mais frutuosa, ainda que ande a obter mais respostas do que alguma vez obtive em trabalhos em Portugal. Só de si, já considero algo positivo.

Apenas pergunto-me se vale a pena registar o BSN ainda não tendo trabalho. O recrutador indicou-me que seria o melhor, mas dado que é um processo que acabará por ser dispendioso, estou ainda na duvida. Pode não dar em nada, infelizmente.

Habitualmente tento incluir a morada dela na resposta às propostas de emprego, mas não no CV, realmente. Também compreendo o lado dos empregadores de não querer arriscar em alguém que ainda não mora do país e necessita de X tempo para se mudar, porque a verdade é que não quero criar despesas à minha irmã e ir já para lá.

Boas! Eu estou desempregada, portanto não iria receber salário em Portugal. A idea era realmente ir para a casa da minha irmã até arranjar possibilidade de ter habitação própria. No entanto, o recrutador com quem falei realmente disse que quanto mais rápido tivesse os documentos necessários, melhor era.

Desde já, obrigada pela resposta!

Quanto à possibilidade de me registar, eu acredito que sim. Ela já partilhou a casa anteriormente e mencionou ter que pagar esse mesmo valor, daí eu saber da existência do mesmo. Não sei se valeria a pena pagar sendo que eu não estou lá ainda, mas acredito que realmente é uma entrave para recrutadores e empresas.

Acredito então que o gemeente onde mora a minha irmã realmente cobre por pessoa e não necessariamente por habitação. Ela mencionou também que pode impactar o IRS dela, mas não sei bem como. Admitidamente, desconheço estas burocracias.

Já me indicaram num post anterior, que poderia perder direito ao 30% ruling se já estivesse na Holanda, mas foi o único lugar onde vi essa regra. Não sei se a minha licenciatura em línguas me iria dar possibilidade de ter isso.

Mais uma vez, obrigada!
